 Dvd's arrived yesterday afternoon and i have now finished the series - not totally disappointed but it did get a bit "Barbara Cartland" towards the end. Too many ends to tie up in so little time. 'Fraid Matthew got on my nerves at the end - all that being cursed rubbish...and feeling he's to blame for Miss Mousies death... Think Mary will have a better time with Vita, though she may have to scrap with Ginny over her....

First series. Firm hold kept on realism. Lauded with praise. Success went to it's head. Second series went off on too many fanciful, unbelievable storylines. Expect the third series to begin, with Lady Mary awaking from a little nap in the morning room, by which it's then revealed that in fact the whole of the second series was some strange sapphic/erectile dysfunction, dream. Second episode of the third series will see the Queen of Moldavia, played by Sarah Ferguson, arrive for a stay at Downton...courtesy of a spaceship which lands on the roof.

Re: Downton Abbey
Was talking to my mum earlier on the phone and she said she'd heard there would be some kind of Christmas special episode of Downton Abbey. She was rather vague about it -does anyone know anything more....?

Re: Downton Abbey

Thought it was better than the second series - got fed up with all the soldiers in that. And Violet had some brilliant lines which I can't remember offhand. |
