Nearly a year and a half after listening to the audio book, and more than a year after buying the dvd, I'm finally watching Bleak House. Quite good, quite good. True to Dickens' style, there's a character so annoying I want to smack him.
Good thing I'm on break; I may end up watching the rest of it tomorrow all in one sitting.

After I read it, I understood what's happening in the clip. Plus, I really did love the book. Oh, and Mr. Collins ('05) is one of the main characters.
Yes, Keely is married to Matthew. I was looking up Little Dorrit pics and saw one of her bringing their 2 kids to the set, then looked her up on imdb. For some reason I thought Matthew was single. She had been married before, and has a son from that marriage.

What a shocker! P&P was my first period drama I really liked and paid attention to in a fandom way so at the time I hadn't seen OMF. I guess when I read about his girlfriend I didn't file away the name. That's crazy. I'm glad you mentioned it.
