About Sense and Sensibility

The show ended on January 30, 1971, on BBC One. It was a four-part adaptation of Jane Austen's novel, originally aired in 1971.

Sense and Sensibility was a drama and romance series that portrayed the story of the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne, as they navigated love and loss after their father's death. The series depicted their move to a cottage on a distant relative's estate and their experiences with romance, heartbreak, and the search for happiness. The adaptation focused on the contrast between the sisters' characters, exploring themes of sense (logic) and sensibility (emotion) in life and love.

The cast included Joanna David as Elinor Dashwood, Ciaran Madden as Marianne Dashwood, Clive Francis as John Willoughby, and Robin Ellis as Edward Ferrars. The series had a runtime of 45 minutes per episode. It did not have a rated score available on TVMaze.
