Luvachicken Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 An excellent start...............but far too many adverts !!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Ahhh - not disappointed You're right though - too many ads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 I really enjoyed it - shame about O'Brien though - she was always good value. Lovely to see sweet Edith being happy - but for how long, one wonders? I did want to slap Mary I am afraid, widow or not And that young Jimmy needs to take his shirt off more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarrisonFamily Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I recorded it so I could fast forward the adverts....I am sure last season for 90 minute show there was 35 minutes advert... I HATE ADVERTS.......except the drumming gorilla in the cadbury advert.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I'm probably being very dim but I'm struggling to place Cora's new maid ... she said she's worked at Downton before and there was obviously a scandal, but I can't remember it I know she's not the maid that had a fling with one of the soldiers (when Downton was an army hospital) and ended up with a baby, so who is she? Told you I was being dim. Great start to the series though ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 She is played by a different actress - she is the one who Tom Branson had a flirtation with in last seasons final episode. She was blonder before, & more chocolate-box pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Thanks Cinnamon, don't remember that at all ... Figured Mr Branson came into somewhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfer_chicken Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I couldn't work out who it was until Branson was talking with the servants about her. It could've been more obvious, especially with the face swap. I caught up on itv player this morning, much less adverts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I'm going to have to go back an episode or two to put it all in place and headphones went flat on me half way through. Hope it's on I player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Yes had urge to slap Mary too - god that monosyllable voice - thankfully she pulled herself together at the end of the episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it's on I player It's all on itvplayer but it's 99p an episode https://www.itv.com/itvplayer/downton-abbey/ Alternatively, if you already have lovefilm or netflix I think they're online on those sites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 Well, after 2 weeks of loveliness but not very much happening, last night was a bit of a shocker, wasn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitchHazel Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Yes, it was rather a shocker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 It certainly was. Well acted by Joanne Froggatt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good acting I really felt for her. Though I think she's gone through enough already with Mr Bates going to prison, and it seems like the new ladies maid is planning some nasty against her and Mr Bates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 I bet she falls pregnant. Superb acting, as others have said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
