 A.Davies, H.Fielding and N.Hornby's take... on P and P - and Colin Firth
Davies said that you could always recognize his works because he favors scenes with "head and shoulder shots", usually between two characters in a bedroom with bed clothes slipping off one shoulder.
The letter writing scene gave Davies a chance to undress Darcy, since he reckoned that the letter being longish took most of the night to write, and he could gradually reduce Colin to an undershirt during its writing.
Davies also mentioned some other Austen related scrips: his main contribution to the film Bridget Jones's Diary was bringing a more general closeness to Pride and Prejudice.

 The Way We Live Now, The Film Adaptation
In this Yates and Davies' work differs from most film adaptations of 19th century novels picked up or made by the BBC: for example, Wives and Daughters (written by Davies but directed by Nicolas Renton) is a highly emotional "women's emotion picture" in disguise.
I was entertained, and in a way Davies and Yates have produced the equivalent of Trollope's text for our time, for Trollope was attacking his very readers, putting something before them by which (if they were able) they could recognize themselves.
I would say Davies and Yates were not consciously dismissing the novel: they made such efforts to include all the characters and all the plots.
