Jane Austen Festival!

[RK Wallis]

I watch every adaption of Jane Austen's work, but that's going too far. It's sacrilege!

I agree.

Yep. Just one more piece of crap. Jane is likely rolling over in her grave.

I'm glad you see it that way too Carol. In a way I hesitated to post that because it may have sounded as if I'm some kind of a prude. But I'm not; I'm quite convinced "unauthorized" sex happened in basements, stables, parks... anywhere even in 18th Century England, Fielding and Richardson assures us of this. If any of those authors left an unfinished novel which someone finished off in our times with a romp in the park, I would not have batted an eyelid because it is in context with their style- they wrote, and may I say splendidly so, about sex- Jane Austen didn't! If someone wants to finish "Sanditon", they need to anticipate Jane Austen's thoughts not invent something totally alien to her... that, as you say, is crap.
