"Eligible" er en veloplagt og velskrevet opdatering af Jane Austens endnu mere velskrevne klassiker "Pride and Prejudice". Rammen er stadig en familie med fem voksne ugifte døtre, og en mor, der ser det som sin vigtigste opgave at få dem godt gift. Men som hos Austen har døtrene også her deres egne meninger og ønsker for fremtiden. Det klæder historien at blive flyttet til nutiden. Så man er absolut godt underholdt hele vejen igennem de mange mange timers oplæsning.
