'Downton abbey' will be back soon - thats been alright up to now - the posh folks are nice
[/QUOTE]I loved Downton, found it quite compulsive viewing, but from what I read, a few of the previous cast have gone, so they'll be some new faces. Let's hope it's still as enjoyable.

(if I've remembered that bit right - I was in shock at the numbers). I don't know if any programmes pull in anywhere near that anymore. Maybe poor quality programmes meant people found other things to do which meant the tv companies keep better things for autumn and winter?

Don't like that pop-eyed twit with the horrible laugh on '8 out of 10 cats' though, can't remember his name, the one that was in troube a while back with the Inland Revenue. What's his name?
