Julian Fellowes' Belgravia - starts tonight, ITV1

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Anyone planning on watching? I loved Downton so I'm looking forward to this. It might be just the sort of escapist drama featuring posh people in nice frocks that we all need right now!

Not sure if I will watch, but as I have heard it isn't about posh people but the aspiring middle class.

I think the writer is trying to show he isn't just obsessed with the upper class.

I am sure it will be very slick.

I'm so ready for some proper escapism. Can't wait.

So looking forward to this, I loved the book.

this looks like pure shite. I cannot wait .

Can't wait, lovely drop of pure shite!

Tamsin Grieg AND Paul Ritter are in this? I'll be expecting her to scold him for taking his shirt off!

And Gene Hunt

I'm not getting it so far...

Why is the duke calling him the magician?

I'll watch on +1. Hope it's good!

The Duke of Wellington was young Sherlock Holmes back in the day!

I want to know that crinkle. What is trecheds job?

Ooh...Gene Hunt. Fwor!

The music is very Downtonesque isn't it? I half expect Carson or Mrs Hughes to appear around the corner!

*Trenchard

Yes @NCTDN I feel confused already.

Trench is a civilian supplier of food, arms, horses etc - the vital back up to any military movement.

Thanks Jellyfish.

Why magician then?

Because he must be very good at producing what is needed under difficult conditions .

He's the magician as he can get supplies to the front, I think.

Crikey it’s awful so far.

Quite a glower from Harriet Walter there

Bloody hell, half an hour in and we've lost most the cast.

Yeah puppymonkey it's certainly no Downton.
