Declared a compelling and exciting BBC adaptation of Jane Austen's classic novel, a privately owned house in Hertfordshire near Potters Bar plays the Dashwood family home of Norland. Despite promising his father that his step-mother and half-sisters would be well provided for following his death, John Dashwood (Mark Gatiss) is subsequently influenced by his wife Fanny (Claire Skinner) not to adhere to his father's wishes. Prior to the Dashwoods leaving the family home, Edward Ferrars (Dan Stevens), Fanny's brother, meets Elinor Dashwood (Hattie Morahan) and forms an association.
