As far as entertainment goes, our multiple lockdowns ended up being characterised by distinct obsessions. There were live workouts in the mornings, sourdough baking, people hunted for pasta and toilet paper, and they watched television.

It is a truth, universally acknowledged, that if you produce Jane Austen, especially in the South-West, then it is to be as authentic, as earnest and as close to traditional BBC magnificence as possible.
