Ooh, I did not know the BBC was taking JS&MN. That should be fun. (And yay for Susanna.)
If you don't, I am not suggesting that you read them, because twenty books: but if you have a familiarity with the Aubrey/Maturin series, that might serve you well with either project (tho' I cannot say how the Novik series holds up in any way; I read the first and felt that was enough). Also, of course, if you don't, then - when you have time, he said, with appropriate hollow laughter - the A/M books are a delight to become familiar with.
