DOES YOUR IDEA of romance involve a 12-foot statue looming awkwardly out of a lake in your local park?
If so, then hold on to your bonnet: A British TV station has plonked this ginormous statue of Mr Darcy – as portrayed by Colin Firth in the 1990s smash-hit BBC series Pride and Prejudice – in The Serpentine in London’s Hyde Park.
Apparently the perplexed-looking statue is to celebrate the launch of a new tv station which is either going to show live footage of statues of Colin Firth in memorable roles or else some British dramas. Probably the latter, we’re guessing.
Here he is from lots of different angles.
And just as a point of comparison, here is Colin Firth as Mr Darcy in the BBC series from the 1990s stripping off some of his Victorian layers for a swim. Lawks!

Fourth week? It hard to believe it’s been that long. It must be torture for the families knowing their loved ones bodies are out there somewhere
@Tweety McTweeter: I hope the two people will be home soon . A brilliant community at work giving their time freely. God bless all of them.
The strength and resilience of those people in the search for their colleagues is unbelievable. And also that of local volunteers & those from further afield. Ciarán Smith’s sister was so strong in her appeal yesterday, I don’t know how she remained so composed in that interview. Hope they get closure very soon
We are such a wonderful close knit community when tragedy strikes, it really is fantastic despite the tragedy that brings the people together.. fair play to everyone for helping in every way & pray that Ciaran & Paul will be found soon so they can go to their final resting place.
@Veroníca: hear hear
The big hug in the photo says it all. Thanks guys!
have your say
