I remember starting to watch the 1995 Persuasion when I was younger and getting bored and turning it off. I might give it a try now that I'm older. I've only just recently discovered that I can read Austen now and follow it, so perhaps some of the less 'ooh sparkly' adaptations will be more appealing to me.

I think the newer version would be so, so much better if they hadn't decided to shoot it like a documentary. Shaky-cam and Austen do not go together. And, like I said, the whole thing was shot up Sally Hawkins' nose.
