Lost in Austen
Created by Guy Andrews
On ITV1
A playful, fish-out-of-water comedy that pairs Austen's romantic world with contemporary irreverence, sustained across four episodes by the charm of displacement and the drive to restore narrative order.
Lost in Austen is a four-part 2008 British miniseries written by Guy Andrews, that reimagines Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, where a contemporary London woman, Amanda Price, swaps places with Elizabeth Bennet, finding herself in the novel's 19th-century society and disrupting the classic story. In order to get back to her own time, Amanda must set the plot right.
