Lost in Austen is a four-part 2008 British miniseries written by Guy Andrews, that reimagines Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, where a contemporary London woman, Amanda Price, swaps places with Elizabeth Bennet, finding herself in the novel's 19th-century society and disrupting the classic story. In order to get back to her own time, Amanda must set the plot right.
