Downton Abbey - ITV1

I'm pondering over Mr Bates too. I thought about the mad wife somewhere scenario but am now wondering whether she is missing or lost at sea ot somewthing like that.

I can barely contain my excitement!;)
 
One to record or watch on DVD. The ad breaks (2 of nearly 5 mins apiece in the first half hour alone), trails and sponsorship are killing the flow of this. Typical ITV, they make something half-way decent and it
 
I am old enough to remember life before homosexual acts were legalised. I think that back then most people did know or at least suspect, that some of their acquaintances were "not the marrying kind" and were not at all bothered about it either way.
 
Not yet. I think she is playing the mother of the new heir, the third cousin who lives with his mother.

I have a feeling Bates will end up staying.
 
Okay, just finished Downton Abbey on catch-up.

Bloody hell - just about the best thing I've seen on ITV in years and years and years. Beautifully cast, written and performed by the WHOLE ensemble.

Thank the blessed saints of the former ITV Network Companies (RIP Granada, Thames, etc) that there's still some quality product coming out of that forsaken dungheap of a channel.
