It's so good natured and clever, and boasts of a great cast (Alex Kingston as Mrs. Bennet, and Lindsay Duncan as Lady Catherine de Bourgh, among others), that one can't help but love it.

Yes, we loved it. What I really liked was that they could have done a perfectly straight version of P&P with that cast and it would have been a stellar production. Alex Kingston was just perfect as Mrs Bennet and the sisters were delightful.
