* TearJerker: When Lydia arrives at her wedding, she cheerfully asks "Where is everyone?" as she clearly expected there to be lots of attendees and well-wishers; a quick reminder to the audience that she's a 16 year old girl, infatuated with a man half again her age (who didn't really want to marry her and will very likely quickly tire of her), with no concept of how close she brought her family to utter societal ruin, nor what was necessary to prevent that ruin.

** When Mr. Collins is talking about how much he wants to dance with all his cousins at the Netherfield Ball, and one in particular, you can see Mary getting her hopes up only to have them dashed when he says he is most looking forward to dancing with Elizabeth.

[Tear Jerker] omit reference to Lydia being forced to marry Wickham, since she was all for it


* TearJerker: When Lydia arrives at her wedding, she cheerfully asks "Where is everyone?" as she clearly expected there to be lots of attendees and well-wishers; a quick reminder to the audience that she's a 16 year old girl being forced into a marriage with a much older man of dubious character due to societal conventions, and she has no concept on what's gone on behind the scenes in order to make sure she and her family aren't completely ruined.

This is Trivia, not YMMV. And it's already on the Trivia/ subpage.


* DawsonCasting: Noticeable with most of the Bennet sisters but particularly egregious with Julia Sawalha (Lydia), who was 27 playing a 15 year old. Not to mention being a year older than Jennifer Ehle (Elizabeth) whose character was meant to be 5 years older than Lydia.

I'm not sure what the fanon part is here - the "shelves in the closet" thing is in the book.


* AdaptationDisplacement: To a certain degree, especially within the fandom itself. While everyone still knows it was a book first, the miniseries is so faithful that the instances of {{Fanon}} (e.g. the "shelves in the closet" joke) get frequently treated like canon.

* {{Narm}}: Whenever Lizzie reads letters which are spoken in voiceover, pausing for Lizzie's interjections. What with Lizzie's comments often being sarcastic or at least cynical, it all feels slightly ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000''.

not YMMV items; these belong on the main page


* InformedAttractiveness: Modern audiences sometimes are confused that Jane Bennet is labeled as the family beauty, and prefer Elizabeth's appearance. However, Susanna Harker's fair complexion and Grecian profile were more fashionable during the Regency period.



* RewatchBonus:
** Watching the miniseries repeatedly reveals a number of subtle and excellent touches from the actors, often in FacialDialogue and {{Meaningful Look}}s.
** Watch Wickham at the scene at Mrs Phillip's where he shares a flirty look with Elizabeth. You can just make out that Lydia is playing with his epaulettes (not a euphemism). There are lots of little hints of him and Lydia before they run off together, many of which are only seen after countless viewings.
