"Miss Austen Regrets" is due to be broadcast in the UK on BBC1 on Sunday 27 April. This is a feature-length drama which tells the story of Jane Austen's final years, looking particularly at why she remained unmarried - or as the blurb puts it, why she never met her own Mr Darcy. This film was broadcast earlier this year in the US as part of the Masterpiece Theater Jane Austen season.
