I think Lost in Austen sets out basically to be good entertainment, and that - if one enjoys what it is trying to do - achieves it. What I hate is something that bills itself as a straight adaptation that is simply doing bonnets-by-numbers with no genuine interest in the original other than as a name to put on the screen to grab the punters.
Names are important. But it makes them all seem so stuffy and old fashioned!
