The 12 foot statue, which took a team of three sculptors over two months to design, construct and paint, pays homage to the show-stealing lake scene that was voted one of the most memorable British TV drama moments of all time and marks the 200th anniversary of the publication of Pride and Prejudice in 1813. New channel Drama is committed to showing the very best British dramas and is available on Freeview channel 20 and Sky.
