bigmommasally Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I'm loving it too, missed the TV aerial though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I missed the ariel too,but am loving the series. There's some seriously good acting and the costumes are a joy. I would love the valet with the walking stick who used to be in Larkrise to have a romance with the pretty maid he gets along with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chucky Mama Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I don't do period drama but DD who is 14 watches in back with an elderly friend who is 80 and loves it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I too missed the first one, but found it fairly easy to catch up on. This is perfect Sunday night viewing, in my opinion - nothing too exciting, lovely costumes, a bit of romance/tension/drama and some of our best actors.

A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I met Michelle Dockery (the eligible sister) a few years ago in a pub. She'd just got her first big role in The Hogfather, and we spent the evening talking about acting and iguanas and entomology. She was very genuine and lovely and it's nice to see she's got another big role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted October 5, 2010 Author Share Posted October 5, 2010 Him Indoors and I went to a dinner at the Crucible a few weeks ago, a publicity thingy for Hamlet. We sat at the same table as Michelle Dockery (she plays Ophelia in the production). She was lovely company and is divinely beautiful in the flesh. She has a super singing voice too.

Chucky Mama Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I don't do period drama but DD who is 14 watches in back with an elderly friend who is 80 and loves it. Sweetness! She watched the latest one tonight. She said 'I can't wait to watch Down Town Abbey with Jean' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenNutter Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 It's a cracking series, Julian Fellowes is a master at writing this sort of thing. Wish it was on BBC though, the commercial breaks annoy me greatly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 That's one of the reasons why I sky + it, so I can fast forward through the ads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhoundgirl Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I saw the ariel too!! though ''this wouldn't happen on the BBC!'' Really love the tension between all the 'downstairs' characters. OH won't watch costume dramas so i get to indulge when he's out. Wine, chocolate and a good period drama; can't beat it really (apart from Mr. Colin Darcy of course).
