Miss Austen Regrets (2008)

Miss Austen Regrets: The Life and Loves of Jane Austen
A BBC production retelling a portion of Jane Austen's own life story.

Synopsis: As she approaches her 40th birthday Jane appears happily unmarried, displaying all the assured wit and charm of her novels' young heroines. Yet, when asked by her young niece, Fanny, to help her vet potential husbands, Jane's confident composure is threatened as she finds herself looking back on her own potential suitors and the choices she has made.
A chance meeting with a former acquaintance, Rev Brook Bridges, sees her reflect on a marriage that never was, while, when her family faces financial ruin, it is revealed that it all could have been very different had she only accepted a marriage proposal from a wealthy landowner. And when her brother, Henry, is taken ill Jane's passions are ignited by his handsome young physician.
