Jane Austin Series on TVO
Proper Proposals
I'm sure that the young man visiting our home and paying call on our tenant over the last week will find much instruction from these films on how proper proposals are carried out. To be sure, Mr. Beans' example from the infamous Christmas turkey episode, which we happened to watch together, finds much to recommend itself in terms of comedy. However, such models should be forsaken in favour of more appropriate means of conveyance toward matrimonial bliss.
TVO recently screened "Northanger Abbey"(2007) , "Mansfield Park" (2007), and "Persuasion"(2007) in a festival of seldom seen Austen novels on film. Those permanently afflicted with the Austen bug may wish to find solace and companionship online at the Jane Austen Society of North America. For those who missed seeing the Austen movies on TVO, I have found these films produced for television on YouTube in installment format, if you really must see them. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
