    You may well ask, why should you watch this particular version of Jane Austen's Persuasion? well, settle in and let me tell you.

    I think I own almost every filmed version of every Austen novel. I find different strengths and weaknesses in all of them, but I would not trash any of them the way people do some versions because they don't stay true enough to the books. I write novels myself in my spare time and - were I lucky enough (or good enough) to have any made into a film - I would not be offended if they were changed. Books and movies have different needs and ways of telling a story. That said, I really love this interpretation of Persuasion.

    I greatly appreciate how British productions often don't automatically lunge for the most...
