Well, not ours. Not sure if this is a Regency version or an Andrew Davies versions. His brief glimpse of Grimstock in P&P95 had dainty sets and turns.

A Matter of Time

You've got a few more days to listen to this show on BBC 7:

Click on "A Matter of Time". About 45 minutes.
If you don't have that much time, take at least a 5 minutes to listen to the opening. And see if you can stop.

Funny....into serious. Told with humor, some silly. A lot damned sharp.

Yes, fools_and_irish, this does take place in Wales, but I think you'll like the story, and the storytelling.

Hell, this is a lovely for any Dickens folk---takes place in mid 1800's, and the arrival of the railway in Wales. And watches.
