Death Comes to Pemberley

Redart spotted that Matthew Goode is in Death Comes to Pemberley airing on Masterpiece Mystery on Monday - thank you Red.

This is a sequel to `Pride and Prejudice' and MG is playing womanising, bastardy, rogue George Wickham. He was the one who seduced Darcy's sister, Elizabeth Bennett and 15 year old Lydia Bennett in P & P - so you get the picture - he's a cad and a bounder. He's older but not wiser in this sequel.

There's 3 episodes and the last one will have you on the edge of your seat.

So set your PVR, have your smelling salts to hand and enjoy seeing him for more than the usual 5 mins he gets allotted on the Good Wife. Report back what you think - PLEASE!

I just read this book a few days since I intend to watch the mini-series before the year is over. I was surprised that Wickham himself is hardly in the book. We get other characters telling us about Wickham but as for actual scenes when he hear him speak directly there are two.

I'm guessing that the part is larger for television. Matthew Goode is one of my reasons for wanting to watch it (actually, the biggest draw might be seeing Matthew Rhys AND Matthew Goode. It's two for the price of one..)
