I just watched Persuasion (1995)

By CafeKettle81

I guess there’s a newer adaptation out there, but I’ve really been into the BBC 1995 version of Pride and Prejudice, so I figured I’d check this one first. And honestly, it was just as lovely as the book. It has that quiet, proper dignity, and the whole thing feels packed with longing and this heavy kind of sadness. I finished the book yesterday, and I’m only just starting to feel normal again, and then this basically hits the reset button. Also, I was thinking—take Jane Austen off the £10 and put her on the £50 instead, like, give her some actual respect. (I’m sure Alan Turing would survive it.) Does anyone know if there are other adaptations worth watching, or is this one pretty much the best?
