Great list! You have to wonder how many people read Love & Friendship (Freindship) and then watched the film and were *extremely* confused.

So far the 2009 Emma and 2007 Northanger Abbey are on every list. Those two are definitely ringers!

Loved your lists! I agree with Emma 2009. It's my favorite. I'd add 1995 P&P (duh) and I really enjoyed 2008 S&S. I know that many don't like Persuasion 2007, but I LOVE it (sans running scene...it is its only flaw IMO).

Emma 2009 is on so many of our lists -- we're all clearly onto something! And the 2008 S&S will always get bonus points for broody Dan Stevens chopping wood in the rain.

True dat! 😍

1. P&P 1995 (duh)

2. S&S 1995

3. Emma 2009

4. Persuasion 1995

5. Northanger Abbey 2007

This list is by no means exhaustive but it’s the top five for sure!

Another great list! So far, Emma 2009 is *the* Emma for TTAA listeners.

My preferred adaptations:

1. The Series (P&P 1995, how can you even ask???)

• The Lizzie Bennet Diaries

• Persuasion 2007

• S&S 1995

• S&S 2008

I’m not particularly fond of Emma or NA, so they don’t get to be on my list. On the other hand, I’m VERY fond of MP and therefore none of the existing adaptations will ever again pollute my TV!
