Sense & Sensibility Premiered on BBC One on January 01, 2008

About the Show:
Sense & Sensibility is a story of two young sisters on a voyage of burgeoning sexual and romantic discovery.

The death of their father throws their privileged world into chaos. With no entitlement to his estate, they are forced to live in poverty. Although the sisters' chances of marriage seem doomed, attractive men are drawn to Elinor and Marianne.

Elinor becomes attached to the highly eligible Edward Ferrars – but why is he so guarded and secretive? Marianne attracts both war hero Colonel Brandon and glamorous, Byronic Willoughby.

But do these attachments represent true love, or are the men simply amusing themselves with the young heroines? With a sub-plot that features the seduction and abandonment of a 15-year-old schoolgirl – not to mention a duel – the stakes are high.
