Plot hole: In Pemberley, Caroline Bingley refers to an utterance of Darcy ("I should as soon call her mother a wit") that he made after coming home to Netherfield after their first ball in Meryton. Falsely she says he made this expression "after they had been dining at Netherfield". This is a direct quotation from the novel and is not coherent with the film plot in which this utterance is made after the first ball.
Pride and Prejudice (1995)
1 plot hole in show generally
Starring: Colin Firth, Jennifer Ehle, Julia Sawalha, Susannah Harker
Character mistake: Mrs. Reynolds, the housekeeper at Pemberley, refers to Mr. Darcy's late mother as Mrs. Darcy while showing Elizabeth and her aunt and uncle the house. This is a grave mistake on the part of the filmmakers as she should have been referred to as Lady Anne, the way her sister is known as Lady Catherine. Their father was an Earl, making them Ladies by birth, not by marriage. Hence, they must be called Lady followed by their first name.
Mrs. Bennet: You don't know what I suffer.
Trivia: Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth were 'together' in real life during filming - their relationship lasted a year, but ended before the production was shown on TV.
