Mrs Darcy vs The Aliens

Mrs Darcy’s Universally Acknowledged Emporium is now open for business. Vulgar though it is to be in trade, my people have assured me that it is vital for what they confusingly refer to as the bottom line as well as being an excellent promotional device.

Sadly, we do not have any bonnets for sale yet, but we do have the finest quality T-shirts for both ladies and gentlemen, each featuring Mr David Weaver’s iconic design on the front and a slogan on the back. The slogans have been personally hand-written by the well-known author Miss Jane Austen, who has kindly agreed to lend her imprimatur to the project, despite herself being involved in a rival work involving zombies or some such.

Goodness me, is that episode fifty already? How extraordinary! Well, I think that our loyal readership is deserving of some kind of reward, so we are going to have a little diversion in the form of a competition.

The Rules

In order to win one of our fabulous prizes (see below) all you have to do is name as many actors or other persons associated with a televisual or filmic adaptation of Pride and Prejudice as you can who are referenced in the first fifty episodes of Mrs Darcy vs The Aliens. You’ll need to specify the reference, the name of the actor and the name of the adaptation. For example:

Old Mr Firth, Colin Firth, BBC (1995)

That was an easy one. But be warned! Not all of them are that simple.

In case we need a tiebreaker, you also need to complete the sentence “My favourite episode of Mrs Darcy vs The Aliens is … because …”

All entries are to be sent to lizzy[AT]mrsdarcyvsthealiens[DOT]com by the closing date of June 30th. The results will be announced on July 7th. Only one entry will be accepted from each entrant, so please make sure that you get it right first time. But don’t wait until the last minute to enter either! Someone else may steal your brilliant idea for a tiebreaker answer and sneak in first!

The Prizes

Well, we have really pushed the boat out here. The three best entries will be awarded T shirts from Mrs Darcy’s Universally Acknowledged Emporium, our brand new merchandising shop, which will be opening for business very soon. These excellent T shirts will feature Mr David Weaver’s iconic design, showing Mrs Darcy in all her finery.

What is more, the winning entry will also receive a limited edition signed copy of your favourite episode as specified in your tiebreaker answer!
