I caught this programme on BBC4 late last night, Anna Chancellor narrated and is apparently Jane Austens great niece, about 7 or 8 times removed. This 'docu- type drama' was very enjoyable, even had clips of Peter Firth in Northanger Abbey!
Well worth catching....its to be shown again on Sunday, 19.10 on BBC4

AC is the 8 times great niece of Jane Austen's through her elder brother, Edward Knight. Edward was the third child/son of the Austen's. He was adopted by some childless cousins and inherited an estate from them.

The Northanger Abbey PF is in is hilarious! Especially his last scene through the mist on his trusty steed. He is my favorite Henry Tilney to date though.
