How come the teacher can not only drive but has a car? Even if she didn't recognise Lady Grantham by sight, how come she didn't realise who she was as soon as she opened her mouth? How many simpering Americans live round there?
Why has Branson apparently forgotten that he used to dislike the Crawleys and the class system too?
Wouldn't Edith be showing by now? She asked Lady Rosamund if she minded spending the next four months in Switzerland.
I thought Bates hadn't killed Green because surely he set off too late to get to London and back in a day. But then I thought it's Downton Abbey so anything could happen, including just happening to bump into the man who raped your wife in the street. And how convenient that Green gave his exact address at the servants' lunch table. I'm always saying: 'I live in this place, it's between this road and that road.'
Wouldn't at least one person in the tea room where Rose met Ross stare at them?
Why did that lord send Isobel's flowers to Violet? He knows where Isobel lives. Maybe he forgot, just like he forgot that Isobel was Mary's MIL, or did he spend the entire lunch chatting to her well enough to fancy her but not well enough to say: 'So, how do you know Violet and Edith then?' That's assuming that Violet is the only person in the world who invites people to lunch and doesn't introduce them to each other.
And I was disappointed there was only one clunking reference to the time period in it: when Lord 6 referred to Prohibition for no particular reason at all.
It was a wonder he didn't say 'I bumped into that Nucky Thompson while I was in America' - that's reached 1924 too.
