description: Tying in with the 8-part prime time Channel 4 series, Regency House Party follows 5 men and 5 women as they meet, flirt, and court within the same strict protocols as Jane Austen's heroes and heroines. Each chapter focuses on a particular character or couple, and the houseguests take part in popular pastimes of the era, such as attending a public dissection, amateur dramatics, fencing and, of course, dressing up and attending balls. They are all looking for a suitable marriage partner, whose wealth and social standing will enhance their own.
