| | |  Michael Gambon cast in BBC Jane Austen adaptation
According to the BBC Press Office, Michael Gambon (Dumbledore) has been cast in their new adaptation of Jane Austen's Emma. He will be playing the role of Emma's father, described as an "affectionate, neurotic [...] who unusually allows her to be mistress of their household."
Other actors cast in the drama include Romola Garai and Tamsin Greig. The adaptation will be shown on BBC1 in serial form in four hour-long episodes and will air in the autumn. Filming starts next week in Kent, England. Quote:
Kate Harwood, Controller Series and Serials, BBC, says: "I am very proud to announce such a strong and wonderfully talented line-up who will bring both youth and experience to Sandy Welch's creative vision of Austen's Emma, a wonderful mix of comedy and romance.
"In Emma, Austen has created a fascinating heroine, and our four-hour canvas allows us to explore this multi-faceted character in detail. Emma was Austen's last novel to be published before her death, written when she was at the height of her craft."

Apparently it's the first series of Emma since the 70s, for the BBC.

Looking forward to a new series, I love Jane Austen | |

My goodness; where does he find the time to do this while filming the last HP movie? I would imagine that he can do it when he's not on the set or scene. Good actors are sure busy, right?

Good actors are sure busy, right? Dumbledore doesn't feature in the story much and the schedule is like 18 months long.
