Recording solo from his wardrobe while Lisa is in Melbourne casting Moulin Rouge, DC shares updates on The Other Bennet Sister, noting it has been in the BBC’s top 10 and that two more episodes (bringing the total to four) are now up on Binge, with a guess the season may be six episodes. He thanks listeners for messages and letters, mentions a mixed Guardian review, and cites a Hollywood Reporter note that the series doesn’t end on a cliffhanger because the book is complete, though the showrunner has an idea for a possible series two. In “Austen News,” he highlights new BBC Shop Pride and Prejudice merch priced in Australian dollars and asks for reliable merch sources like Etsy.

David and Lisa Campbell return to discuss the first two half-hour episodes of The Other Bennet Sister (streaming on Binge in Australia and BBC in the UK), praising it as a highly watchable Pride and Prejudice-adjacent retelling from Mary Bennet’s perspective. They highlight Ella Bruccoleri’s performance as Mary, Ruth Jones’s more anxious and monstrous Mrs. Bennet, Richard E. Grant’s checked-out Mr. Bennet, and the inspired casting of 1995 Mary (Lucy Briers) as housekeeper Hill. Episode 1 focuses on Mary’s isolation, her mother’s cruelty about her looks, getting glasses, and a hopeful connection with Mr. Sparrow that Mrs. Bennet brutally shuts down. Episode 2 covers Mr. Collins (Ryan Sampson), a more calculating Charlotte Lucas, and Mary’s humiliating Netherfield performance of “Be Gone, Dull Care,” ending with a shock departure.

David and Lisa Campbell continue their discussion on the 1995 BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, focusing on Episode 2. They delve into the introduction of pivotal characters Mr. Collins and Mr. Wickham, analyzing their contrasting dispositions and how these impact the storyline.
