Binge-watched Miss Austen & loved it. @gibbzer.bsky.social 's script is perfectly pitched, so Jane & Cassandra's relationship is both touching & believable, & you have a visceral sense of how precarious women's lives were. Keeley Hawes, Patsy Ferran and Jessica Hynes are all brilliant, too.

I try not to read too much about Trump because it does my head in, but Martin Wolf is always worth reading on any topic. And he's not mincing his words here. www.ft.com/content/6a4d...

I've just watched the last episode of Miss Austen and will consequently be lying here in this puddle of tears for the foreseeable. Damn you, @gibbzer.bsky.social.

Got to add to the mountain of deserved plaudits for the magnificent Miss Austen on the BBC. Perfectly cast, brilliantly written and directed (shout out to @gibbzer.bsky.social and Aisling Walsh). Balances humour and heart-break with consumate skill. One of the best things I've watched for ages.

Patsy Ferran is so good as Jane Austen in Miss Austen. She’s one of the best actors working today, so clever and witty but with such depth. I loved her as Eliza Doolittle in the otherwise not great Pygmalion at the Old Vic, and still can’t believe Covid prevented me from seeing her as Blanche Dubois

Proper mad king stuff how Trump is essentially taking a hammer to the international order all while saying the maddest shit imaginable, and other world leaders are like “Trump is absolutely correct to raise this issue”

Calling Zelensky a “Dictator” must be where the line is drawn. It is my sincere hope that the whole political spectrum in the United Kingdom will speak with one voice in opposition to Trump’s lies.

Just finished watching #MissAusten, quite fittingly with my sister on #EarpSistersSunday. As people who I know love sister relationships and feelings and women who don't always adhere to societal norms, and if you, like me #Earpers, also love a period drama, I highly recommend it. We loved it 🥰

The last episode of #MissAusten has me in bits. Such a wonderful adaptation. Again BBC don't give up on period drama because when you do it right you can't beat it!

A delight to chat with you Standard Issue. Thanks 'Miss Austen is screenwriter Andrea Gibb’s beautiful adaptation of Gill Hornby’s historical fiction for the BBC. Mick caught up with Andrea to talk sisterly love, sisterhood, and Jane Austen (obvs).' Listen here: bit.ly/3OJWglr pic.x.com/lt1wRolOo9
