Lucy BriersGuestMad About History HostHost[classical music] So I'm really excited to welcome Lucy Briers here to the Discover Written "Mad About History" podcast, and we're gonna be talking about "The Other Bennet Sister" and of course, "Pride and Prejudice." Um, I feel that "The Other Bennet Sister" was, as I have already said to you, the one of the best things I've seen on television for years and years and years.
And I was so excited about watching it.
There was a lot of pressure on it in my household.
[laughs] I have three sisters and, you know, we're often, um-
Obviously we're missing one.
Um, and what I, I felt was that "The Other Bennet Sister" was basically like a little sister version of "Pride and Prejudice" to me.
And it, yeah, it's also, it- I feel like it's also a completely independent entity in one way as well.
Yeah.
