From The BBC publicity department:

"Sense And Sensibility

David Morrissey, Dominic Cooper, Dan Stevens, Mark Williams, Janet McTeer and Mark Gatiss lead an all-star cast in Andrew Davies's romantic, witty and stylish new three-part adaptation of Jane Austen's Sense And Sensibility.

Sense And Sensibility is a story of two young sisters on a voyage of burgeoning sexual and romantic discovery. Restrained, rational Elinor Dashwood and the wildly romantic, impulsive Marianne Dashwood are played by newcomers Hattie Morahan (Elinor) and Charity Wakefield (Marianne).

The death of their father throws their privileged world into chaos. With no entitlement to his estate, they are forced to live in poverty. Although the sisters' chances of marriage seem doomed, attractive men are drawn to Elinor and Marianne.

Elinor becomes attached to the highly eligible Edward Ferrars (Dan Stevens, The Line Of Beauty) – but why is he so guarded and secretive? Marianne attracts both war hero Colonel Brandon (David Morrissey, State Of Play) and glamorous, Byronic Willoughby, played by Dominic Cooper (The History Boys).

But do these attachments represent true love, or are the men simply amusing themselves with the young heroines? With a sub-plot that features the seduction and abandonment of a 15-year-old schoolgirl – not to mention a duel – the stakes are high."


Yet ANOTHER adaptation by Andrew Davies:( Expect too much sex :( I wish they'd get someone more sympathetic to Miss Austen to adapt the novels :(
