Pride and Prejudice (BBC)

The story of the lively, precocious and very eligible Bennet girls captures all the nuances of 18th century life among the English gentry, a society obsessed with profitable marriage contracts. When the wealthy and aloof Mr Darcy insults Elizabeth Bennet at a dance, the tension and romance of their relationship is sparked, while the family beauty, Jane, attracts the attention of a gentleman presumed to be above her station. Her flirtatious younger sister, Lydia, lands herself in a steamy scandal that could ruin the reputation and "chances" of all the Bennet sisters. Based on the classic novel by Jane Austen, adapted by Fay Weldon.
