This sounds like a really fantastic idea for a story. What has happened to it? I thought it was going to be shown sometime in Spring?

Hey

Sorry, but it was shown about a month ago, just before BBC1 started showing the Indiana Jones trilogy again.

I downloaded it but didn't watch it. My mum said it was really boring and she's usually a fan of period drama.

I'm pleased to say that the previous post refers to a different programme. Lost in Austen was commissioned by ITV, but the screening has been rescheduled to I don't know when. Release of the DVD is scheduled for 6 October 2008 however, just in time for my birthday.

I worked on the 2nd Unit for "Lost in Austen"- originally we started shooting in late September 2007, with a (then) fixed transmission date of March 2008; it was then moved to April 2008. And then shelved- due to the BBC also running a Jane Austen drama.
It has not yet been officially scheduled- as ITV were awaiting the arrival of it's new Controller of Drama, Peter Fincham to start his new role.

Lost in Austen is scheduled for release on DVD in October 2008- however- we seem to think it will actually be shown on ITV during the early autumn.
