I’ve mentioned before that we sometimes have special in-house preview screenings for various donors and dignitaries and the like. Here’s a sign I caught sight of a while back welcoming attendees to just such a sneak peek at the MASTERPIECE series SANDITON.
No idea when this was held. Based on the characters in the poster, it appears to have been for the third series, which premiered in March 2023, so the screening was most likely presented earlier in the year.
Based on an unfinished manuscript by Jane Austen and set during the Regency era, SANDITON follows a young, naive woman as she navigates a seaside resort on the cusp of dramatic change. Now that the third season is well underway, let’s take a look at who’s who on SANDITON.
The show is adapted by Andrew Davies (To Serve Them All My Days, House Of Cards, Bleak House, Mr. Selfridge) and stars Rose Williams as Charlotte Heywood, a quintessential Jane Austen heroine. Unfortunately, Williams has not appeared in anything PBS NC has broadcast other than SANDITON. The rest of the cast, however, might offer a few more familiar faces.
Kris Marshall co-stars as Tom Parker, the patriarch of the Sanditon resort. He may be best known for his role as DI Humphrey Goodman in the series Death In Paradise. Prior to that, he was eldest son Nick Harper in the Britcom My Family.
