Northanger Abbey garnered mostly positive reviews from television critics, with many praising the cast's performances.
Seventeen-year-old Catherine Morland ( Felicity Jones ), daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Morland (Gerry O'Brien and Julia Dearden), is a tomboy with a wild imagination and a passion for Gothic novels. Family friends Mr. and Mrs. Allen ( Desmond Barrit and Sylvestra Le Touzel ), invite Catherine to spend the season in Bath and she readily accepts. At her first ball, Catherine meets and dances with Henry Tilney ( JJ Feild ). The following day, Catherine makes the acquaintance of the Thorpe family. She becomes good friends with Isabella Thorpe ( Carey Mulligan ) and she meets Isabella's brother, John ( William Beck ), when she is reunited with her own brother, James ( Hugh O'Conor ).
General Tilney returns home from a trip away and orders Eleanor to send Catherine home to Fullerton that night. Catherine endures the trip alone and believes that Henry told the General about her suspicions. A few days later, Henry comes to Fullerton and explains that the General discovered that Catherine's family were not as rich as John led him to believe. He apologises for his father's actions and explains that even though he will probably be disinherited, he loves Catherine and proposes. Catherine accepts and the couple marry.

Whew. The Complete Jane Austen has been saved by the charming performances of J.J. Feild and Felicity Jones as Henry Tilney and Catherine Morland in Northanger Abbey. Had PBS opted to follow ITV’s tepid Persuasion with the very problematic Mansfield Park, they would likely have lost scores of viewers who might not have returned for a third dose of another truncated adaptation of a Jane Austen novel.
Speaking of fans, I am convinced this delightful production will influence many a young viewer to head towards their libraries to read a Jane Austen novel for the first time. And that thought gives me great pleasure. If you missed Northanger Abbey because of Iron Chef, check your local listing. Many PBS stations, such as the one in Richmond, have placed it on their schedule for a second night.
Thanks for this excellent review. I did enjoy this movie. I don’t agree with your critique of Catherine Walke as a drab Eleanor Tilney . I thought she was lovely and given how nasty the father was, wouldn’t we expect a slightly worn out daughter? But then, I haven’t read the book! Maybe I need to pick these up for my flight to Paris later this week…
