Austenland...starring Georgia King and Rupert Vansittart

Georgia King! What a delight! She blew us all away as Lady Heartwright. She's best known in the US for playing Goldie in the NBC series The New Normal but has loads of UK credits. This clip is her guest appearance in the BBC series Merlin and gives you a sense of her marvelous comedic timing. I love Georgia.

Our Mr. Wattlesbrook (the character replacing Sir John Templeton) is played by the fabulous English character actor Rupert Vansittart. He was in Four Weddings and a Funeral, Dr. Who, Braveheart, and loads of other shows. But naturally I'm showing the clip of his performace as Mr. Hurst from the BBC Pride & Prejudice. So fitting, since Mr. Hurst inspired the creation of Sir John/Mr. Wattlesbrook.
