Hate Matty since i saw him on the Review Show haughtily dissing the books on the Booker shortlist. Smug spiteful little public school boy!

It'll be the best Christmas TV - EVER!!!

Thanks

No Sybil I see. Still being Pickled.

Who's that standing between Mrs Hughes and O'Brien?

I finally bought Series 1 and finished watching it last night. Loathe O'Brien and Thomas even more. The way she kicked Bates' stick away Shock

Cora's a bit dippy to think O'Brien is fond of here and so loyal. I was surprised to hear her bad-mouth Cora so much as in S2 she's guilt-ridden and not at all caustic about her personally.

Mary and Edith were both alternately vile and pitiable. Not sure I got why Mary changed her mind about Matthew, especially after what she told Cora about being in love with him. Shall have to watch it again...

Fiderer · 29/11/2011 10:44

Ah, Lady Rosamund's maid probably.
Cora is gurning terribly - perhaps she stood on a bauble.

daveywarbeck · 29/11/2011 11:04

ooh the press pack is fantastic. So Mary and Carlisle haven't married - they were planning to in the July following Lavy poo and Matthew in the April. Presumably postponed due to mourning? Would the house have been in mourning for an heir's fiancee? (consults Debretts)

ScatterChasse · 29/11/2011 11:32

Ooh, am going out now, but will definitely look at that later.

I'm not sure about the picture, it looked they've all been cut and pasted in from different scenes!

If the family's is supposed to be in a similar hierarchical order to the servants, poor Edith!

LadyHarrietDeSpook · 29/11/2011 15:05

Note bene:

Lady Edith character: "She?s had a rough war in the sense that another couple of men have come and gone and she has revisited her feelings for Patrick. Even though I think she knows it wasn?t actually him it?s still really painful that the family didn?t take it seriously.?

So, I think that's the Patrick Gordon storyline finished off.

diddl · 01/12/2011 18:33

How much longer can Mary´s wedding to Sir R be put off?

ScatterChasse · 01/12/2011 19:29

Not much, surely. It's been at least a year and a half by now. It depends when the special's set I suppose.

They said summer, but might not want to stick to that, with everyone having been ill.

ThePsychicSatsuma · 02/12/2011 19:55

Fatty bumbum wouldn't have had a giraffe how to cook an egg, let alone a turkey (surely would still have been goose back then anyway?) and full trimmings.

According to Stephen Fry on QI recently, mucking about with a ouija board was considered harmless spooky fun until The Exorcist was released and then basically everyone in the world stopped doing it.

Bossybritches22 · 03/12/2011 14:34

OOOOh Cora finds Lord Fatty's diary!!!!!!!!!!!

NorfolkNCarolSingers · 03/12/2011 15:06
