Pride and Prejudice: Elizabeth Sings | BBC 

How can a man show so much emotions with so few actual changes in his countenance? It is truly amazing how he can say "Thank you." and "I love you." with only his eyes.

And this is why no matter how many iterations of Pride and Prejudice there are, I don’t think anyone can beat Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy.

Everybody always talks about the "wet shirt" scene, but to me, this is the best scene in the series - his eyes, that expression, swoon . . . :)

lol I love Bingley. he's just so oblivious, energetic, and cheerful, it's adorable

The way she managed Georgiana's mood in a second and then looked up to see Mr. Darcy staring and smiling at her. Man, this is the THING!!!!

Darcy doesn’t speak the entire scene but his eyes scream how much he is in love with her. Elizabeth’s uncle even looks over at him and smiles because Darcy’s face shows pure love and admiration for his niece :)

What I like about Jennifer Ehler as Lizzi is that she is modest, takes on behavioral characteristics that an eighteenth century girl should have. Even in scenes where she faces unpleasant issues, such as here or in the first marriage proposal, she doesn't lose the sense of limit, of education. She and Colin Firth undoubtedly brought the characters to life in incredible ways. It's my favorite version of Pride and Prejudice for the care of the interpretation details.

Colin is such an amazing actor, he can show so many types of emotions without barely moving this face, its shows adoration, happiness and pure love, my god I wish I can find someone that look at me like this.

All the women deserves to be look by a man in the same way that Mr Darcy stares Lizzy on this scene at least once in a life time.

When Miss Bingley mentioned Wickham's name, it startled Georgiana and that is why Darcy started to rise. Elizabeth knowing the reason for Georgiana's reaction went immediately to her to help and give comfort. Her look to Darcy spoke volumes about her compassion for others and it shows most evidently on his face his appreciation for her act of kindness toward his most cherished sister.

this scene is amazing because you see two different loves: the romantic love that Darcy has for Lizzy, and the sweet brotherly love that he has for Georgiana :)

The thing I find most beautiful about this scene is that it is the first time, if my memory doesn’t fail me, that they actually have to work as a couple to solve a problem together, which shows the potential for their married life.

1:17 the change in Darcy's expression when the two most important women in his life were looking at him simultaneously.🥺

This version is the best for me. Truest to original in spirit. Carefully made.

Through a man's eyes - it's only acting but Jennifer Ehle's face at that piano scene at the point when she slowly raises her eyes towards Darcy and takes on an extremely warming look of silent devotion to Darcy is so convincing.

Darcy in this scene is the epitome of the heart eyes emoji. Easily one of Colin’s best performances and the best rendition of Darcy on screen. This scene has stuck with me for years, it’s just brilliant.

I love Mr. Gardiner's little glance as Darcy is gazing at Elizabeth with his heart in his eyes and oblivious that Mr. Gardiner is looking at him - you can just SEE Mr. Gardiner thinking, "OH yes this is what is going on!" It also mirrors Mrs. Gardiner's "Can you not?" when Elizabeth says she can't imagine what has brought about the change in Darcy. No flies on those Gardiners!

I have watched all versions of pride and prejudice..to be honest, this is the only version that has brought the book alive in truest sense... Colin and Jenifer have done complete justice to their roles.. every time I watch 1995 show, I fall in love a little bit more with Mr Darcy... Such beautiful performance ❤️

He's giving her a look of gratitude mixed with adoration. The gratitude is because Miss Bingley, while trying to smear Elizabeth's reputation, unknowingly upset Georgianna (remember Georgianna thought she was in love with Wickham and then found out she was being used) and Lizzie immediately thought not of herself but of Georgianna and went to distract her when she faltered. Miss Bingley has no idea what she's done, because that bit of gossip was private. It's partly why Darcy snaps at her after Elizabeth leaves. She insulted and upset Darcy's lil sis, and he won't forgive that.

Darcy's smile was full of pride and self-assurance as he knew he had chosen the right woman to love. He felt relieved to see how well she treated his sister, and at the same time, his smile also reflected his adoration, and approval/respect, and also longing as his love still unrequited... and all in a restrained smile, and that restraining aspect just makes everything more deep and beautiful, just perfect❤

The way he looks at her with such pride... sigh...

colin firth is the best 'eye-actor' ever those looks he gives her are just amazing

Colin Firth was incredible but You must see that Jennifer Ehle was amazig too!!

What girl wouldn't want a man to look at her with such adoration and gratitude? Every time I see Colin in this scene, I think of my husband and realize, again, just how much I miss him. Wonder if Colin knows how much that look touched so many women?

Colin Firth made the world skip heartbeats with this scene. The exchange of looks is so beautifully acted without overstatement or vulgarity.

No matter how many times I watch this, Darcy makes me smile like a simpleton because of how proud and happily he looks at Elizabeth. It’s so romantic.

"Lizzy impresses Mr Darcy with her quick and polite replies to his ever bitchy friends." I LOL'd.

People keep talking about the wet shirt scene, but THIS is the scene that truly shows why Colin is the best Darcy ever...the way he looks at Lizzie is pure heart eyes in a non-cheesy way.❤️

The look they share over the piano... It's filled with so much love, passion and deep-bone tenderness. This is how I want the man I love to look at me❤😊

When Lizzy and Georgiana are talking about Darcy it's just so funny to see that look on his face: The look of a man who knows that women are talking about him but not quite knowing what :P

The first few seconds just make my heart melt. That is just the look of love. If someone looks at me like that I know I have found love lol.

The man is in love, and in no humor at present to deny it!

Why do I never get fed up watching this scene?

Mr. Darcy must be very happy indeed to see the two angels of his life playing the piano and getting along so well.

they crafted an absolute masterpiece with this version. it's really magical. and the casting is without exception, exceptional. sheer delight.

This series is, for me, the one that best adapts to Jane Austen's book. She is exquisite in everything: recreation, costumes, music and the leading couple has extraordinary chemistry. But what is really impressive is the performance of Mr. COLIN FIRTH, he is a true gentleman, very elegant and handsome and an actor out of series ... he does not need to speak (although he has a beautiful voice) his expressions, his smiles and especially their looks say it all, it's wonderful.

A look between the two of them that speaks lines of dialogue!

A beautiful moment. He loved her all the more because she understood instinctively that she had to protect Georgiana from the memory of Wickham and to divert her from that thought. His look conveyed relief, admiration, and love. Colin Firth did an outstanding job. So understated, but yet so apparent.

This scene is just perfect. The way they look at each other and smile. Pure love!

Forget the white shirt scene, this was the scene that blew up my heart.

Keep calm and find mr darcy

Never have there been a better Darcy and Elizabeth - I think as well as being super perfect for the roles they are so very perfectly matched as a couple!

That smile… I've seen this version about 9 billion times and it's gets me very single time. I love Colin. He's the perfect Mr. Darcy -3

He just looks so safe in that one moment. I have read several comments, and they have just mentioned love and gratitude, but safety is key too. He went out on a limb, risking so much when he first proposed to her, and he lost. Again, he went out on a limb, but this time, there was minimal, if not nonexistent" misunderstanding. He knew his heart would not be so injured, it was accepted. One of my favorite actors said that love was acceptance, and I think that that adds a whole new layer to their mutual affection. Darcy has been somewhat aloof from the rest of society, and does not particularly care what people may think of him. I know from experience, as I take pains to be quirky, that even when you expect acceptance, it is still an amazing feeling to be correct. This also adds to the safety. And of course he feels secure knowing that his sister is safe, and how well they get along together is splendid. We need to see this, and the movie, at least twice a month I wager.

Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth are so cute....good God that look he gave her....

This is my favorite scene in the entire series! Never saw another actor convey true love with just a look.

The unrestrained love that’s visible on Darcy’s face as he looks at Elizabeth. He never thought he’d have the change to right things with her after his awful proposal. I just love this scene as he can’t even help let all his feeling show in every glance her way. It’s as if it’s just the two of them in the room, to Darcy. He sees no one else.

Revisited the whole series today... I missed it all so much. But this scene... My heart... The way they look at each other... Understanding. Spark. Thankfulness. Admiration. LOVE My heart melted. Sigh... Will never grow tired of it. They are the best Elizabeth and Darcy. The whole choice for the characters in the series is amazing actually. Thank you BBC for creating the eternal piece of beauty. ❤️

Georgiana is in such good hands! Between her brother, and her soon to be sister-in-law, they take such good care of her 🥰

It’s perfect! His eyes, his deep breathing. It’s the perfect look of love.

I feel like when Darcy really fell in love with Lizzie when she was at Pemberley as he can truly see what their life would be like here, one of the more underrated parts of Elizabeth's character is while Jane is the oldest, Lizzie really is the one who tries to mother her younger sisters. While she has her own issues with her family she also is fiercely protective of them even defending why her sisters are out in society to Lady Catherine, and sadly I think he's realizing how much Georgiana has been deprived of by not having a mother or a sister and he's seeing how easily Elizabeth fills that role.

I love the look Mr. Darcy gives at the end. He is so impressed and grateful to Elizabeth for covering for his sister that the look he gives her just makes me melt!

1:16 Darcy's like "Huh?" lol That mutual stare at the end, though. If a girl looked at me like that, I would melt.

Now I understand why I felt in love with Colin Firth as an actor. I can see Darcy's love in his eyes while Lizzie is singing, he is like "oh my god this woman is amazing, I know why I'm in love with her...". Just incredible. Thanks for posting it ♥

Have watched this millions of times but the intensity never fades. If you watch it in conjunction with the previous scene where Georgiana invites her to play, the immediate jump cut to Colin's look just knocks you over with its intensity. Very well-crafted build of love and understanding between the two characters.

If there was any doubt, ANY,that this is the best romancr of all time, just see how Mr Darcy looks at Elizabeth...

Ah, the unbroken gaze! They finally make a mutual connection with each other - and everybody else is oblivious. A great scene.

Why is everybody in the comments talking about Mr Darcy when Elizabeth is being so wonderful here.

THIS is acting. The looks that the give each other are just of the purest happiest love. Both of them are just perfect in these roles. It's hard to play a romantic couple who, because of the time that the story is set in, don't touch or interact with each other a lot. But the looks they give each other are more than enough to show their true feelings.

I've watched ALL versions of P&P and I keep coming back to the 1995 BBC version. It's quite the best! Love the congruity between the BBC version and the book. Jane Austen would've been happy.

Please excuse me as I go cry uncontrollably. This scene is perfect.

I love Mr Bingley reaction, he's always so nice and ready to compliments the ladies.

This scene is one of the reasons this is the best adaptation by far. It’s not in the book, so it’s made up by the production. As someone who’s read this book 8+ times, this turned into one of my favourite scenes because it illustrates so many nuances that you can sense in the book but that’s hard to catch on screen.

Although there is no awkward, piano-playing gaffe for Georgiana or subsequent rescue by Elizabeth in Jane Austen's wonderful novel, I love the liberties that the BBC has taken with this scene because of THE gaze. The adoring gaze that Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy share is beyond words. Having seen P&P too many times to count, I know in my mind that Mr. Darcy does get his Lizzie, but for me this gaze is the first delicious moment that I begin to believe in my heart that he may actually win her love!

0:06 The pride in Darcy's eyes for Elizabeth is everything ♡♡♡♡ best scene.

The way he looks at her.. oh i'm melting T T

I just love how Mr. Darcy looks in the beginning of this clip. He just looks so enchanted by Lizzy. True & profound admiration. It melts my heart.

I think perhaps the best job in this entire miniseries was done by the costumer. The fact that Lizzy and Georgiana are wearing similar gowns shows a similarity in their characters, and I especially love that Mr. Darcy wears trousers instead of breeches. This subtly shows that he's not so stuffy and old-fashioned as we might think, as well as the fact that he's much more relaxed around Pemberley than anywhere else!

When Lizzy acts so fast to be by Georgiana's side at the mention of Mr W and move passed it ❤ I think they both realize they are already more of a team than they think ❤

A look who values thousand words, thousend sweetness words

I love colin firth as darcy as he adds so much depth to the character❤

I have seen three versions of Pride and Prejudice, this one is by far the best..It follows the book word for word. I love Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy and Ehle is great as Lizzie.~

Colin Firth is playing with his eyes. Such a great actor

Repeating what one of the gentlemen in the scene said, "absolutely marvellous." And Jennifer Ehle was so beautiful as Elizabeth Bennet.

I grew up with this version and Colin Firth was my first actor crush... this whole movie is so subtle, full of tension and undercurrents and wonderfulness. Thank you BBC!!! Thanks for posting this!

What do we love actors for? For that they can with one look, create the entire universe of feelings... In the eyes of Mr Darcy and Lizzie there is everything. Unforgettable scene! Unforgettable.

Thhe moment when Eliza turns to protect and help Darcy's sister, when she is obviously distressed andftthen she looks to Darcy. Their bond with only their eyes says so much

Best part of the movie..the looks of passion and love

Some people say Mr Darcy only smiles at the wedding but he's smiling here!

Aww, my the most favorite series! 😍 The best Elizabeth and Darcy ! 💞

This is my favourite scene. Jennifer Ehle is superb here, so beautiful!!!

If memory serves me correct, this scene was missing from the 2005 movie version. That's a big shame, because I feel that this is an important scene. Lizzy basically told Darcy that she will love, take care, and watch out for Georgiana like she's her own sister. If Darcy still had any slightest doubt about Lizzy at this point, it has been put to rest by her compassion.

I watched this series originally with my then teenage daughter and her friend That particular scene is enchanting and we all sighed with bliss at Darcys longing look at Lizzie That series was as near perfect as anything could be

@SweetKraut I agree the last few seconds are the best. Power to Colin and Jennifer for being able to say so much without words. I think Elizabeth is saying "Don't worry, I'm here. I 'll watch over her." and Darcy's saying "Thank you. I love you." In those few seconds you get to see the characters really in tune with one another, partners in protecting Georgiana.

I love this scene. I find it so romantic the way he looks at her so lovingly. Swoon. And Elizabeth is such a wonderful and strong character. It's difficult to see this scene without getting out the box set and watching the whole 6 hours.

The way lizzie was so sweet for Georgiana is just lovely :')

The way Darcy looks at her 😍😍😍

The eye contact at the end between Lizzy and Mr. Darcy wipes me out every time I see this movie. Colin just melts me. There is no other Mr. Darcy but Colin.

owh, mr darcy, stop staring through the youtube screen so adoringly, you're making me blushed!

i love the way he stares at her and we can see him take his every breath, breathing so heavily! it is just exciting.

Fun fact: Did you know that Georgianna and Lizzie's aunt are mother and daughter? They do look alike.

Mr. Hurst is the best!! he has no idea whats goin on around him??? lost in his own world!

The way Lizzie immediately diffuses the situation: she refuses to give in to Caroline’s goading and she covers up the slight without embarrassing Georgiana. No wonder Darcy looks at her so.

Ahhh I just get the flutters at that long loving gaze between Lizzy and Darcy! Best scene ever

I love this scene. First Darcy's look of tender love and then their mutual glance. It is my favourite scene. CF and JE are exactly the Darcy and Elizabeth I imagined while reading the book.

I'm 15 and Pride and Prejudice is by far my favourite book ever and the BBC series of it has to be the best but I must thank my mum for gifting me with her great taste in well pretty much everything ❤️❤️

Elizabeth is right for Mr. Darcy, she protects those whom she loves, and rightly so. I love how she comes to the aid of Mr. Darcy's only sister.

The Best Ever Version and adaptation made! Beautifully and Perfectly done. Magnificent actors with their very high level of excellence in portraying all their roles individually and collaborating as group performance overall is superb! The soundtrack and costumes were masterly done and magnificent which bring us to the regency era enormously and undeniably the best and great experience and feelings while watching this masterpiece interpretation of the great Ms. Jane Austen literary masterpiece of all time. Loving it so much and watching repeatedly the whole series almost everyday! Well done to all and hope to find similar story in the near future!Magnificent and Superb Adaptation!! Thank You so much!!

I like that when they start looking at one another, the music goes from that kind of jarring piano sound to the soft, romantic violins (at 2:28). That was a smart choice on the director's side.

I loved this song and her voice...simply beautiful.
