Pride and Prejudice

Trivia: The actress playing Jane, Susannah Harker, was quite heavily pregnant during the filming of the movie. This can be seen quite obviously in some scenes.

Trivia: Jennifer Ehle who played Lizzie is blonde - she knew Lizzie was to be brunette, so she dyed her eyebrows the night before the dressed audition to give her a better chance of suiting the part. (This is confirmed in the 'making of' book).

Trivia: Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth were 'together' in real life during filming - their relationship lasted a year, but ended before the production was shown on TV.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: In the scene at Pemberley when Darcy gets ready to dive into the pond, notice that in one shot, he is looking at the pond, the next shot shows him stepping down, and the third shot (right before he dives) shows him looking at the pond again - in the exact same place as the first shot, as if he never took the step down.

Mary Bennet: It behooves us all, to take very careful thought before pronouncing an adverse judgment on any of our fellow men.
