For those who yearn for the classic BBC productions of the classic Jane Austen works, aired in the '70s and '80s during the golden BBC "Masterpiece Theater" era, this is the collection to have.

You get 6 DVDs and 1336 minutes of that Jane Austen vintage era of an England long lost to history and and fiction.

From an online reviewer:

I'm not going to try to convince people who aren't already familiar with the videotape versions that they have to buy these DVDs. However, if you already enjoy them, then you're going to have a nice surprise when you get the DVDs. The DVDs contain scenes not found on the videotapes. We saw that for ourselves when we put on Pride and Prejudice which is one of our favorites. In this case, there's 265 minutes in the DVD version, but only 229 in the videotape version. That's a big difference! Not only do you get more to enjoy, but the DVDs are going to last a lot longer than the videotapes. The picture and sound are fine. This is an outstanding bargain if you already enjoy these versions of Austen's works.
