This adaptation has everything an Austen fan wants. Definitely one of the best!
Summary: In this newest BBC miniseries, Emma Woodhouse seems to be perfectly content, a loving father whom she cares for, friends, and a home. But Emma has a terrible habit - matchmaking. She cannot resist finding suitors for her friends, most of all Harriot Smith. Emma is desperate for Harriot to find happiness, but every suitor she finds for her friend ends up attracted to Emma herself. But is Emma so focused on Harriot's happiness that she is not considering her own happiness in love?

Mrs. Goddard's home appears to be the same one from 2006 Pride and Prejudice. I read somewhere that the have redone and ripped out everything and updated. Can someone find out? I have been searching the web and found no information.
