Downton Abbey anyone

[CMP69]

Or am I just an old gimmer with a period drama fetish

I especially hated the horribly inserted line of, "I've only just realised that I've never made a proper will." Oh, as if, Julian Fellowes! Clunky, clunky, clunk. Does he know ANY of his own characters?! It was like poorly-written fanfiction.

I've been watching Season One back, which I enjoy very much. The time before all plots were carried out at the speed of light. Just watched one of my most favourite sub-plots: Mrs Hughes and her old boyfriend who comes back to propose again. I think that was very beautifully done. I'm tearing up a little bit at the shot of her framed in the kitchen doorway, standing all alone.

Oh, and now Sybil's walked in wearing her new "trouser dress". And Pickle is leering at her through the window. Love Season One!

Can anyone remind me if there was ever a resolution to the soldier who turned up in the hospital saying he was the heir to Downton? I can't remember anything which makes me think it was conveniently forgotten.

He left Amandine without confirming if he was or wasn't Patrick, Edith thought he was, I thought he wasn't.

Well that was a bit of a damp squib! I agree with you, I didn't think he was either but you would think they would have made a bit more out of it. Thanks.

Dog's bum time!

"violent scene that some viewers may find disturbing" wtf??

Did the announcer just say "scenes some viewers may find upsetting", or did I imagine that?!

Yes he did.

He did - I wonder what's in store...

Dogs Bum!!!

They should start the X Factor like that too IMHO.

Oh god, lets hope not more Mr Bates nekkid.

Maybe he doesn't want to make small talk about his dead wife?

Poor pickle

So is there going to be a rape do we reckon?

Oooh flirty Anna!

Why do you call him Pickle?

Lots of small talk. Everyone sorry for Lady Raven who Is Nouveau Pauvre.

NK5BM3 Big party. Someone's valet flirting with Anna. Lord Somebody flirting with Mary. Edna flirting with Tom. Rose loves Al Jolson. Maggie Smith is amusing. Carson is a snob.

Oh clunk. Here goes Twatty fucking off the rest of Coras dads money.

Just had a giggle about Anna being asked to check on two people "they're in the Chinese".
Is the food so bad they've headed for the takeaway?
