I do not know if you are aware, but Firth and Elhe were a couple in real life when they made these series, hence the chemistry between them. The series had such an impact in popular culture that Helen Fielding the author of "The Bridget Jones's Diary" based her Mr. Darcy on Austen's Mr. Darcy. When Hollywood came calling and the book was made into a movie, Fielding, who also had the opportunity of writing the script, insisted in casting Firth as Mr. Darcy. The novel, as well as the movie also has many resemblances to Pride and Prejudice, including Bridget's obsession with the BBC series and the scene were Mr. Darcy comes out wet from the pond.Dahliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00912093059639838262noreply@blogger.com
