Simon Langton (born 5 November 1941 in Amersham, Buckinghamshire) is a television director and producer. He is the son of David Langton, the actor who played Richard Bellamy in Upstairs, Downstairs.

After he had directed a number of TV drama series and serials during the 1970s, his 1982 dramatisation of the John le Carré novel Smiley’s People was nominated for both a BAFTA award in the UK, and an Emmy Award in the USA. He later won a BAFTA award for the 1989 series Mother Love, starring Diana Rigg.

Perfect adaptation. Firth really captures what Mr. Darcy really is: a socially awkward penguin.

As close to capturing Austen’s seminal text as a screen adaptation could likely ever do. Firth’s acclaimed Darcy, conveying the gravitas and conceit Laurence Olivier so sorely missed a half-century earlier, is but the face of it: the setting and all the integral chemistry, humour and bite is recreated with not only precision, but grace, and to completely charming effect. Sensibly adapted, splendidly done.
