Episode #1.6 - S1-E6

Visible crew/equipment: When Lady Catherine de Bourgh and Lizzie are by the carriage (right after Lady Catherine de Bourgh questions whether Lizzie is engaged to Mr. Darcy), there's a camera or some sort of device visible. (00:36:40)

Episode #1.3 - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: When Elizabeth is about to leave for Hunsford there are three trunks (1 large, 2 small) visible in the hall. As Elizabeth moves into the study the servant removes the top trunk to take to the carriage. In the next shot of Elizabeth in background only the large trunk remains. In subsequent views of Elizabeth the large trunk remains in view. When Elizabeth farewells her father and leaves the room the servant is seen picking up the second small trunk which has magically reappeared. (00:23:30 - 00:24:10)

Episode #1.5 - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: The day that they received Mr. Gardiner's express letter, Jane is wearing a pink gown and Elizabeth a white. The next scene is possibly that evening before bed where Elizabeth tells Jane she wishes she never told Mr. Darcy about Lydia. The following scene looks like the next day, when Jane and Elizabeth tells Mrs. Bennet about the letter, and they are wearing the same outfits from presumably the day before. When Elizabeth goes down to her Father and they start talking, she says, "considering what we thought only a few hours ago." Which means the before bed scene was cut from after Lydia's and Wickham's wedding, because it shows a flash to Mr Darcy. Which is the same scene of him at the wedding which hasn't happened yet.

Mr. Bennet: For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbours, and laugh at them in our turn?

Trivia: Jennifer Ehle who played Lizzie is blonde - she knew Lizzie was to be brunette, so she dyed her eyebrows the night before the dressed audition to give her a better chance of suiting the part. (This is confirmed in the 'making of' book).
