Me too!  I use the pause facility to gaze at the expression on Colin 
Firth's face, when as Darcy, he watches Elizabeth save his sister 
from unwelcome comments from Miss Bingley.

I have long been in favour of Colin Firth as Sirius Black, and have 
realised that I wouldn't mind him being Lupin either.  The only 
reservation I have is that he wouldn't be in GoF.  And just imagine 
how well he would act going from brooding and angry, to absolutely 
delighted with Harry wanting to live with him.  I can see them acting 
very well together - both are very understated.  It would almost be 
like Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson in The Remains of the Day.
