The cast and crew of The Other Bennet Girl, based on the book by Janice Hadlow and written by Sarah Quintrell, have praised Jane Austen's forgotten Bennet sister in the BBC–BritBox adaptation at a London screening. The 10-part series follows the forgotten sister of Mary Bennet, who was introduced as an unremarkable character in Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. Ruth Jones and Ella Bruccoleri play Mrs. and Mr. Bennet in the Bad Wolf production, alongside Maddie Close, Poppy Gilbert, Molly Wright and Grace Hogg-Robinson as Jane, Lizzie, Kitty, and Lydia. Jones and Brubboleri also sat with romantic leads Dónal Finn and Laurie Davidson for a Q&A ahead of the show's U.K. premiere on Sunday.
