I don't get the appeal of Colin Firth with wet hair -- in the tub or in the pond. And my daughter always shrieks "What a nasty, scummy pond to be jumping in!" It's amazing that he didn't come up greener! lol

Oh, Darcy loved the outdoors. He didn't mind the scum. He was much more boyish than is realized! He needed a break, take care of some stress, he had a lot going on. Now you know you have seen worse things than Colin coming out of a pond!

LOUD laughter as your reply!

I just watched "Lost in Austen" and there was a scene where the main character has Mr. Darcy come up from the pond/fountain thing. That just made me crack up so much!

Haven't watched the series yet. How funny!

I thought it was cute, but I had some disagreements about the ending. My husband (who I was surprised that he even wanted to watch it with me) liked the ending.
