I wish I could talk to Jane Austen Doctor Who style and show her how much her books are still read two hundred years later

I would totally watch an annotated adaptation of a Jane Austen novel. We have so many technological options for this now, but like subtitles with historical context notes, David Attenborough-type voice over where he explains the mating rituals politics of ballrooms, a "directors commentary" but instead it's a literature professor and three historians.

Annotated novels are popular! This would be like watching footnotes. I would pay for it. I think other people would pay for it. I think it would be a delight.

Not quite what you asked for, but may I recommend the BBC documentary "Pride and Prejudice: Having a Ball" (2013), presented by Amanda Vickery, in which they staged a historically accurate version of the Netherfield ball for the bicentenary of P&P's publication, with candlelight only and the right size of room (not anywhere near as big as in most adaptations) and historically accurate food and clothing.

The commentary from the historians is great, and the thing that really struck me is that the professional dancers struggled with the stamina required for the accurate choreography. Turns out Regency ballroom is a crazy workout.
