Grown-up Colin is a pre-Darcy Colin Firth, yes?

Yes. Which I didn't know for years, in the same way that I had to see I, Claudius before I recognized Archibald Craven as Derek Jacobi.

And poor old Dickon! Dead in the trenches!

I can't remember if Mary and Colin are de-cousinified, but Dickon having died in the trenches is one of the few pieces of this version I remember clearly, therefore one of the reasons I can't tell if I will actually enjoy rewatching it, because while historical statistics are against them, the shape of the story is that they survive!

[edit] See [personal profile] ranalore above: definitely not cousins.
