Invalid command: only I would be mad if I bought one at a video store $89.00 and didn't get "The Making of P&P video.
~Karen #1
No Donna, you wouldn't be mad but WHERE DID YOU FIND "THE MAKING OF P&P"?!! I have been looking for it all over. I would be forever grateful if you let me know where you made this find. I thought I was going to have to get it in London. BTW can I be noisy and ask what video you did buy?
~Donna #2
Karen, on Amy's BB someone bought the video from A&E and you now get "The Making of P&P" when you order from them.What I am upset about is the fact the they didn't advertise it the way and still haven't.Many times I have been in the video store really thinking about buying it but have not.I am very glad that I didn't since now for $10-14.00{including s/h} more I would get TMOP&Pvideo.I have the MOP&P book. I know a few people have bought it. They might increase their sales if they advertise it that way. I was able to buy the book that came with the video collection at a bookstore. The answer to your question. I have bought "Persuasion" and "Sense and Sensibility". I morely likely to buy Emma and BBC Emma. Plus all JA books plus many more books pretaining to JA. Would like to read/buy Mr. Darcy version has well.I do have three kids this is the first thing I have indulged myself in a long time.

Whoa! I ordered the official 6 part video about three weeks ago, and what I received was the show plus the novel. No "Making Of." What's the deal here? Can the "Making Of" be ordered separately?
~Donna #4
I don't know, but Lizzy poston at Amy's BB that she received the "Making of Video" when she order it from A&E. Don't know how long it is or when she order it. I post that I e-mailed A&E for more detailed information. http://www.a&e.com/index.html

I should of put my glasses on. Sorry! http://www.aetv.com/index.html

Donna, I checked the A&E cite early this morning and there was no mention of TMOP&P (only the book). If you or Amy2 hear of anything different, please let me know.
~Karen #7
Donna, I forgot to add . . . I too just bought Persuasion and S&S. Persuasion was my first JA movie (and subsequently I read the novel) so I have a soft spot for it. I also think I'm going to order "Darcy's Story." It's so much fun having others as one minded as myself.
~amy2 #8
Please, if anyone finds out that A&E is sending the "Making Of" video along with the tapes, let me know! Since I just ordered, I will call and raise you-know-what. Thanks.
~Linda #9
I also just checked A&E's site and saw no mention of the elusive "Making Of" tape. Is this developing into a case of urban folklore, where we hear of said tape but no one actually has seen it? I too would be interested in buying the boxed set if the MOPP tape is included and would appreciate anyone's knowledge on how to get it. Karen, if you don't mind my asking, what is "Darcy's Story"?
~Anna #10
] what is "Darcy's Story"? a book retelling P&P from Darcy's viewpoint. See also Ian's recent post in topic 4 and a whole thread 12? In a couple of weeks I hope to be in a position to post a review...
~Donna #11
Here is the scoop! Re: topic 189 Introduce yourself: Lizzy posted at Amy's BB that when she ordered P&P from A&E she received the "Making of P&P" video with the set.I e-mailed her for more information.
~Karen #12
Thanks for your sleuthing Donna. Please let us know what Lizzy said. Linda check out thread 114 for the info on "Darcy's Story" As Anna said its P&P from Darcy's point of view. Anna let us know what you think about the book.:)
~Donna #13
So far Karen, I have heard nothing from Lizzy, I'd say it is "bogus".
~amy2 #14
I think it must be. As I've said, I ordered the official tapes from A&E bout a month ago, and received only the novel as a bonus. No "Making Of."
~Donna #15
I thought Lizzy was going to post this information,but so far she has not.Here is her explaination. She got it from "Breakfast with the Arts" which airs on A&E(she thought it came with the set) said it is still available,I have no further information.
~mich #16
I'm beginning to think this is a rumor to torment us. One that seems to resurface about every 30 o 60 days. Has anyone ever seen this? Not heard about but actually watched it? Mich
~Donna #17
You did watch Mich.I have seen "BwArts" and was wondering if A&E would repeat it?
~Anna #18
]actually watched it? it was shown in Aus Feb 1996, just before P&P2 was first broadcast here. I've never seen the video-tape on sale to the public however.
~jwinsor #19
Bernie has actually seen it twice, and taped it once, but the child of a friend to whom she loaned it to recorded the PowerRangers over it!
~Anna #20
], but the child of a friend to whom she loaned it to recorded the PowerRangers over it! This calls for Infanticide!
~amy2 #21
Is "Making Of" available in Britain at all?
~mich #22
I'm surprised not one addict has this on tape. Espcially when so many of us have multiple copies of eveything else related to P&P.;-) Mich
~Ann #23
We would have it, if we could get our hands on it. It seems unavailable.
~mich #24
Ann, I was refering to someone taping it when it was aired on TV. Bernie being the only one is astonishing.:-) Mich
