I just stumbled across this tonight while suffering from insomnia (again). I consider it a serendipitous Mother's Day gift from YouTube.

It's a documentary called Pride and Prejudice - Having a Ball. I think it's from the BBC and it recreates in detail one of the balls from the novel. It gives a lot of background regarding the food, clothes and music for such an occasion in that period.

Interesting! Thank you! Although, it cut off towards the end. I think it had about 20 minutes left. Boo hoo.
