I can see the four horsemen. The end is nigh.

Tragically, this is not an April Fools joke.

ITV is to turn Pride and Prejudice into a time-travel saga. The broadcaster wants to emulate the success of the BBC One series Life on Mars, in which a detective is catapulted back in time, and build on the triumph of a run of Jane Austen adaptations, featuring stars such as Billie Piper.

In Lost in Austen, Amanda, a chardonnay-swigging West London girl, discovers a bonnet-wearing woman in her bathroom who introduces herself as Elizabeth Bennet. Through a series of accidents, Amanda is transported to Regency England, where she melts before Mr Darcy’s brooding glare. Miss Bennet, meanwhile, breathes life into the modern girl’s useless boyfriend.

Sure it's every Austen fan's dream to travel back in time and meet have hot sex with Mr Darcy but people, IT'S A DREAM!! SOMETIMES IT'S REALLY BAD FANFIC!! BUT WE DON'T WANT TO ACTUALLY SEE IT ON TV!!

NO, OK? DON'T GO THERE.

I really don't see why this is nccessary. If you want to do some sort of time traveling show, fine, but leave some of the most beloved works of literature out of it!

I told this story to my mom, and she just had this look of utter shock. Not a good sign at all.
