Every Darcy For Himself

From the 1995 mini-series version to the 2008 (kinda weird like) mini-series version, all the Darcies appear to have the moment of being wet.

In the 1995 version of Pride and Prejudice Mr. Darcy was riding a horse and then maybe thought "hmmm, I should go for a swim" and jumps to the nearest lake he saw.
In the 2005 version the scene where Mr. Darcy was wet was when he proposed for the first time to Elizabeth Bennet in which Elizabeth replied "And those are the words of a gentleman? For the first moment I met you, your arrogance and your conceit, your selfish disdain to the feelings of other made me realize that you were the last man I could ever be prevailed upon to marry!" whoopack!
In the 2008 mini-series "Lost in Austen" where Amanda Price was lost in a Jane Austen book which happens to be Pride and Prejudice she asked Mr. Darcy to go into the lake and go back wet. "Post-modern Moment".

Now it is your choice. Colin Firth (1995), Matthew Macfadyen (2005) or Elliot Cowan (Lost in Austen 2008)? Which one is the best?

For me, they're all the best! Just as long as they stay in character (which is Mr. Darcy, of course) they will stay perfect. :D
