Wapping - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia en.wikipedia.org Though Execution Dock is long gone, this gibbet is still maintained on the Thames foreshore by the Prospect of Whitby public house. Much of the action of my newest Austen-inspired novel, The Prosecution of Mr. Darcy’s Cousin , is set in Wapping. But what do we know of the area? Wapping is a district in East London, in the Borough of Tower Hamlets. The north bank of the River Thames and the Highway (formerly called the Ratcliffe Highway) border the area. The Nazi bombings of England during World War II destroyed many of the original buildings.

I previously posted part 2 of this last week when it aired back-to-back on Bravo and had first  posted about this last May 24th , when it aired twice in a row on Oxygen. I guess this will be a series of posts whenever this movie is broadcast on TV (but of course, it depends, If and when I get a chance to see and live tweet it). Yesterday, I  live tweeted during both airings (starting from 5:40 pm and at 8:45 pm East Coast Time ), since it was on much earlier and as always, I had a lot fun with other fans who live tweeted and stayed up until midnight to watch this movie again (with all 3 of these hashtags : #pandp2005 , #Pride&Prejudice , and #PrideandPrejudice ) on Twitter, and to watch and live tweet at the same time with fellow fans of this movie.

I previously posted about this last May 24th , when it aired twice in a row on Oxygen. I guess this will be a series of posts whenever this movie is broadcast on TV (and If I get a chance to see it and live tweet it). I didn't expect to have live tweeted , but I'm glad I did as I always have a lot fun with other fans who live tweeted and stayed up late just to watch this movie over and over again (with all 3 of these hashtags : #pandp2005 , #Pride&Prejudice , and #PrideandPrejudice ) on Twitter last night, to watch and live tweet at the same time with fellow fans of this movie. So many fans (and even a few non-fans) live tweeted randomly too during the back-to-back airing. UPDATE : Pride & Prejudice movie is scheduled to be broadcast (back-to-back) on TV on Ox

I previously posted this here almost a few years ago, but I thought It's worth posting it here again as it's been exactly 10 years ago ( June 1st, 2005 ) today since the first UK trailer for Joe Wright 's  P&P   movie was released by Working Title Films (then Working Title Productions).

In retrospect and for the nostalgia , watch both the UK and US trailers (with transcripts included, which I've transcribed and compiled a few years ago) for P&P movie below...
