A fancy dress handler arranges Colin Firth’s ‘wet-shirt’ costume (AP picture) What’s arguably probably the most well-known moist shirt in TV historical past bought for 20,000 ($25,000) Tuesday – water not included. The white linen garment worn by Colin Firth as Mr Darcy in BBC’s 1995 TV adaptation of “Pride and Prejudice” was the star merchandise at an public sale of movie and TV costumes. Firth’s costume – together with boots, moleskin breeches and velvet waistcoat – fetched double its prime pre- sale estimate of 10,000 ($12,700) throughout a sale at Kerry Taylor Auctions. The entire value is 25,000 ($32,000) as soon as an public sale home charge generally known as purchaser’s premium is added. The scene wherein Firth’s brooding heartthrob emerges from a pond, startling soon-to-be real love Elizabeth Bennet (Jennifer Ehle), was as soon as voted the UK’s most memorable TV second.
