Duchess of Duke Street

I have only just finished the whole thing. They skipped through a few bits that gave it a bit of an unfinished feel, I thought. Like how Lottie decided to come home.

Charlie's death, I thought was done well. I am welling up now, thinking about it. I thought I was a total cynic, but that was a real love story.

Ah GagaJo I finished all the episodes on Thursday night! I’m a loose end now.
Thank you so much for the recommendation. I’d have never known about it but for you!
?
Yes, I cried too at that episode. It’s been great acting.

Urmstongran! Have you got as far as Series 2, Episode 3 yet?

I am watching it now in floods of tears (but no spoilers).

Yes, I looked that up too. Sad. I'm onto the 2nd series now and Charlie isn't quite as much fun anymore.

The gorgeous Christopher Cazenove who played ‘Charlie’ (Lord Haslemere) apparently died in 2010 of septicaemia at the age of 66y. This photo was taken the year before he died.

How could we NOT notice Starr's squeaky shoes?

I binge watched both series over 2 days - found myself getting attracted to the Colonel

Shielding since last March+lockdown's doing strange things to me!

I've never knowingly watched any Soaps, just visited clients who always had the TV on - June Brown's voice is unmistakable

I watch on bflix which is completely free and haven't had to register or log in.

I’m on Bflix too. I’ve noticed that when you play anything, it has no sound, then when you click on the sound icon, an ad ( usually something about ‘Britain’s Stupidest Man’), then when you close that window and click on your programme again it’s fine. I presume that’s how they make their money from advertising.
Has anybody else noticed Starr’s squeaky shoes?

I’m on 10 now and agree with you GagaJo about Louisa being the lynchpin. The episode when she went on holiday to France seemed a bit flat without her in it!

I'm on 12 now. I prefer the episodes with Louisa front and centre. I'm less interested in the others.

I’m up to Episode 8. Will be watching it tonight (again!).
Here is Gemma Jones nowadays in her late 70’s.
I loved her hairstyles in the series. Probably a wig, what do you think?

On the Bflix site I saw a film called Harry and Meghan- Becoming Royal. I only watched bits of it, but definitely the best ‘lookalike’ actors, especially Prince George and Meghan. So much so, I’m not convinced it wasn’t her!

Correction, watching it on YouTube, not Google Play.

Thanks to reading about it here I've spent today watching the first 5 epis of this - it came up on Google Play, so that's the next 2 days viewing too. Loving it!

Watching Mary in DODS now.

‘Mary’ in the DODS in 1976
A real fresh faced sweet girl.

And today at the age of 68y.
Very attractive still.

It’s all PC now though isn’t it?
‘Chair’ instead of Chairman or Chairwoman. No gender assignment.

@Urmstongran, I always want to say actress, too, and often do. I can’t for the life of me see what’s wrong with it.
To insist that the female version of the word can’t be used, suggests that it’s somehow inferior to the male version. And by association, that a woman who acts is inferior to a man who acts.
What is remotely feminist about that?

I have decided it will be much simpler to buy a set of pre-owned DVDs from Ebay, so I have bought the cheapest I could find. They can then be passed around friends and family when I have watched them. DD had never seen Downton Abbey so I bought a set for her birthday and she is hooked and loving it.

That is really odd Shysal. I have never had that and have watched on a laptop, my phone and an iPad. Weird.

Thanks Littleannie

Shysal - you can watch D of DS on YouTube, a lot safer than a pirate Internet site.

I watched the first episode then a warning of 'unsafe content' came up and it was blocked.

LOL I better not watch THAT on the school wifi!
