This is a mini-series shown on ITV. ITV have the episodes on their site and if you want to watch them, do so here!: http://www.itv.com/CatchUp/Programmes/default.html?ViewType=1&Filter=1839
I have, however, found online streaming incase ITV fails you (it did for me) and I think the videos expire on ITV anyway...

From ITV: Jemima Rooper stars as Amanda Price - the frustrated romantic who lives for reading and adores the characters in her Jane Austen books. Then one day she discovers a gateway in her flat and ends up being transported to her favourite world, the world of Pride and Prejudice. But is the “true” story in danger of being thrown off track by her presence?
I have to admit I was a little prejudiced (ironic no?) before watching this. I really thought the idea of a modern day woman in Austen times was going to be annoying and/or kinda stupid. However I have been proved VERY wrong. This little series has been really enjoyable and Jemima is really good in her part! It's funny and truly lovable (if not a little odd, seeing as the story is kinda outta wack) but yet I still am in love with it.
If you saw Life on Mars, it's kinda that sorta theme... except with Jane Austen. I love the moments where modern life just gets mixed up in this past life and the two times collide. I just truly love that.
This has got to be one of the best scenes in the series...
Ooh ooh. And do check out the Darcy in this one. (Elliot Cowan) There is something really very attractive about him (however noone can beat the Firth, never ever) *points to picture... see what I mean?*
