In Pride And Prejudice: Having A Ball, social historian Amanda Vickery leads the action as a team of experts recreate a Regency ball in honour of the 200th anniversary of Jane Austen’s popular novel. Joined by Alastair Sooke and a coterie of professionals – a food historian, a costume expert, music history academics and a choreographer who trains a team of dance students to take to the floor– cameras will follow the recreation inspired by Austen’s Netherfield ball. This intimate country house ball drives the plot of the Pride And Prejudice, and is a key turning point in the romance between Elizabeth Bennett and Mr Darcy.

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
Claire Dunne One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
louiseculmer A fascinating programme in which it is shown in detail all the work that went into planning and giving a ball in Regency England. We see the dancers practising their steps, and finding out exactly how strenuous it was to do Regency country dancing (professional ballet students sweating and breathless, marvelling at the stamina of Regency dancers). we see the preparation of the delicious and elaborate food for the supper. we see the ladies and gentlemen dressing for the dance. finally we see the actual ball, and it is a delight to have such a vivid and accurate vision of how things were at such an event. if you have any interest in the regency period in general, or in Jane Austen in particular, this should interest you.
