From acclaimed writer Andrew Davies comes this enchanting new adaptation of Jane Austen's classic novel about love and marriage. Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve when she falls in love with the charming but unsuitable John Willoughby, ignoring her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. Elinor, sensitive to social convention, struggles to conceal her own romantic disappointment, even from those closest to her. Will the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love?

Sense and Sensibility is a 2008 British television drama adaptation of Jane Austen's 1811 novel Sense and Sensibility. The screenplay was written by Andrew Davies, who revealed that the aim of the series was to make viewers forget Ang Lee's 1995 film Sense and Sensibility. The series was "more overtly sexual" than previous Austen adaptations, and Davies included scenes featuring a seduction and a duel that were absent from the feature film. Sense and Sensibility was directed by John Alexander and produced by Anne Pivcevic. Hattie Morahan and Charity Wakefield star as Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, two sisters who go on "a voyage of burgeoning sexual and romantic discovery".

The series was shot on location in the English counties of Berkshire, Surrey, Buckinghamshire and Devon for two months from April 2007. Sense and Sensibility was co-produced by the BBC and American studio WGBH Boston. It was aired in three parts from 1 January 2008 in the United Kingdom and attracted an average of 6 million viewers per episode. The first episode also became one of the top ten most streamed programmes on the BBC iPlayer. Sense and Sensibility garnered mostly positive reviews from television critics, while the cast and crew earned several award nominations for their work. It was released on a two-disc DVD in the UK on 14 January 2008.

HUNGARIAN SUMMARY:
A XVIII-XIX. század fordulóján a pénz s az önérdek uralkodik Angliában. A két Dashwood nővérnek, akinek se vagyona, se rangja, keményen meg kell küzdenie az előítéletekkel, hogy elnyerjék a férfit, akire szívük igaz szerelmével vágynak. A mások iránt megértő, végtelenül tisztességes Elinor fegyvertelen az olyan szerencsevadászokkal szemben, mint vetélytársnője, Lucy Steele, míg Marianne, aki megingathatatlanul hisz a szív szavában, egy gátlástalan férfi hálójába keveredik. Jane Austen hősnőinek története szerelemről, csalódásról, becsületről, álnokságról s természetesen reményről és boldogságról mesél, s közben lenyűgöző és gyakran kaján képet fest a világról, amelyben a hölgyek legfőbb foglalatossága a férjvadászat.
