I loved it and it was lovely to meet up with MawB yet again. (The last time was at the ballet). I can tell you that Maw looks very well, if she doesn't mind me saying, and she enjoyed her holiday very much. And I felt quite teary at the end as well, and found myself thinking that the last time I watched Downton was at home with late DH..... I can thoroughly recommend the film. (Going to see The Goldfinch in a couple of weeks).

Went to see it last night and loved it. Clearly everyone else in the cinema felt the same as it was punctuated with bursts of laughter, a few sniffles then a spontaneous round of applause as the credits came up!

That would be good Doodledog, apropos of the film maybe it will return. There's the 1930s, plenty happening then!

I saw it yesterday, and I loved it too.

It was a bit too long, and the production was obviously different as it was a film rather than TV; but there was a lot going on to keep interest, and the costumes and settings were gorgeous.

TerriBull It was definitely left open for another series on TV smile

I really liked "Downton Abbey" on tv, I suppose it's synonymous with small screen for me. I have to really, really want to see a film these days to go to the cinema. Last one I saw was "Once upon a time in Hollywood" and the next one will be "The Goldfinch" because I loved the book.

Would definitely put the "Downton Abbey" film on my list from my through the post dvd club once it goes to DVD, I do miss it not being on, it was part of Sunday evenings for me.

What a lovely feel-good film this is! I heartily recommend it and would even suggest it should be available on the NHS!
As an added bonus I met up with Bluesapphire who was there too and we agreed it is a lovely film.
My neighbour did have to pass me a tissue at one point as 3 of us sat in a row having a little teary moment!
Do go and see it!
