old jane mannered tale seem very popular these day . i have lose count of the number of version go around . probably the reason be that her rut be our rut even at this late date . this tv mini series give it a mannered telling suitable to the novel . headstrong and opinionated emma be a pretty modern girl when you think about it and even though the ambience of jane austen world may seem a tad artificial to u today . if you haven not seem emma and i will only say that self sufficient emma do get her comeuppance . it worth watch to find out how . the acting honour here go to the lady represent kate and prunella and lucy and samantha . they could almost have have a psychic connection to old jane .
