We talk to Alex Goodship, who worked on the 2005 film version of Pride and Prejudice. What did she do on the film and what was the experience like?

Very interesting topic really. I've read Pride and Prejudice in my PG class. But could you tell me what the regency costume is?

I can agree with her that it is long hours. I once participated in a short film, 6 hours there and guess what... though I did a scene, when they show it I wasn't in it! Ha, ha, so much for those long lost hours.😁

Hi! Does this programme have the transcript on the website? Everytime when I want to study, I just can’t understand each word of the programme, so if you the website that would be help.

I've got a grammar question. "I might go for something that wasn't a period drama, so I didn't have to wear all of those clothes again." Why the verbs in past tense? I would be grateful for an answer.
