Downton Abbey - ITV1

Well f---lip, I didn't recognise him at all!

On another note, I normally don't watch period-drama types of programmes, and usually just switch over, but as it came on straight after The X-Factor, and there was nothing else on, I thought I would give it a go, and I am glad I did, plus I liked the music in the trailers lol :o
 
It certainly looks that way, hence my 'oh' in my last post lol

Plus if you saw the previous trailers
wasn't there someone saying something along the lines of I know your secret, or I know what you're up to, or something like that?
 
I wanted more between the Duke and Thomas the evil footman. I was very disappointed when that little sub-plot was over so quickly.
 
It's common sense to write as people would have spoken rather than using phrases like 'at the end of the day' for example. After all, if you are writing about a certain period it is, or should be, important to portray that period. I am not saying that particular expression has been used, but a couple of similar phrases jarred with me.

It is not the quite same premise as the drama in a modern soap or police drama etc, and the point is not mainly about the drama. If you were setting a police drama in Victorian times you would hopefully have the details and manners of the time correct as a matter of course and good workmanship. People wouldn't be expected to say "Leave it aht!" for example.

As Dame Maggie might say "StandarRAB, my dear!"
 
Since we had already seen that Thomas considered sex with the upper classes as a way to a better life, I was waiting to see if something would develop, but was really surprised when Thomas caressed Pamook's face as I didn't think he had been given a clear signal that such an advance would be welcome.

BTW- Any idea what the relationship between OBrien and Thomas is?
Apart from being as obnoxious as each other!
 
Lady Edith is bound to do well for herself - it'll be the moral law.
Perhaps the heir will fall for her instead of her elder sister?
 
Thank you , I would hate the rest of the world to have seen it and I missed it , I came back and the maid was in the room so I presumed I had missed the crucial moment .,
 
Can't help feeling that just unscrewing that calliper thing and chucking it in the lake wouldn't have sorted things out in reality.

Those wounRAB would have been open to infection and they ddn't have antibiotics in the way we do today. Still I'm very pleased that Bates seems to be none the worse.

I wonder what Thomas and O'Brien are up to. She really is monstrous.
