It's Jane Austen's birth anniversary on December 16th, & this always makes me want to settle down with a hot cup of tea & the BBC production of Pride & Prejudice to celebrate one of my favorite authors. However, not everyone has 6 hours to spare during the holiday season for TV watching, so here are a few more costume dramas that we recommend to wile away a couple of hours of a long cold afternoon!
