Downton Abbey

DH was driving me mad throughout the Dame Kiri bits.....'Isn't she supposed to have a bowl of fruit on her head?'

Dear God! Don't they just love winding you up?

Just getting silly now!

Don't mean you merlot

The image of Dame Kiri wearing a Peach Melba on her head singing, 'I Yi Yi Yi Yi Yi Like You Veeeeery Much' IS rather silly but that's what I have to put up with.

Stewth indeed! Whatever next!

( I think that should be a ?) Time for bed, said Zebedee.

Poor Anna - wonder if there will be a baby as a result of this? What cads the card sharp and his chap were. Maggie Smith just gets better and better. What will happen to baby Sybil if Tom goes off with the dodgy ladies maid? Loving the costumes, and that black horse ridden by Lady Mary's new eye candy was wonderful. Great Sunday evening viewing, even if it is going on perhaps rather longer than it's sell by date. Carson's outrage at modern ways makes up for it though.

It is definitely perking up a bit now. I am sure that there will be a baby on the horizon with Anna.

I thought it had!!

I think there must have been a page two which I didn't notice this morning as my comment was about the early postings re last nights episode!!

Just as it starts to get really interesting.....it ends.

We were laughing at the fields of rape. So 1920's

They should rename it "Much Ado About Nothing", but it's pleasant, easy watching. No swearing, no violence and the rather lovely Tom.

Lona I think rape and murder qualify for violence even though it was committed off screen...
I agree though its pretty easy watching and there is a 2hr Christmas special on Christmas day and they've just said they are making a 5th series so thats good news..

Yes, tanith, You're right, and actually some of it was on screen! That's how good my memory is!

Perhaps the anachronistic fields of rape were an ironic reference to the unhappy plotline.

I agree it paints rather a rosy picture of life below stairs, and is enough to turn anyone into a communist, but it's a bit of escapism for a Sunday night by the fire. I'm sorry it's finished .ah well now I can watch homeland live!!!

I love watching Downton.O.K., its slow and full of one liners, but I must admit its my ideal Sunday night viewing.So genteel!
And during every crop of adverts(which I mute), my DD texts me saying OOh and eeehs and things like, I always baton my carrots!(re the ads)

A good review I'll miss Downton on Sunday evenings but hopefully the Christmas Special will shake things up a bit.

Yes, it was gentle Sunday evening viewing wasn't it, a bit predictable, but how lovely to sit and watch something which looked good, I could actually understand what they were saying, and no bad language. A 'feel-good' piece of television I think.
