Re: Downton Abbey
I find it very interesting from a historical perspective. It is a bit slow moving, but I enjoy the old buildings, the dresses and beads, and the recreation of the era. I can only imagine what a process it must have been to round up the antiques and other items to complete the sets. I think, but I'm not sure, Downton Abby is set about the time my Grandmother was a young lady. So, its not to hard to picture her as one of the characters.04-12-2014, 05:08 PM

Re: Downton Abbey
What a lovely episode of Downton for Christmas. I do enjoy that programme and its one of the very few programmes I can watch again on repeat.I had such a lump in my throat at the end, with wots-his-name leaving and taking his little girl with him, then Mr. Bates coming back to Anna for christmas, and Mr.Carson proposing to Mrs.Hughes, aah (sigh), I love happy endings. Brilliant acting all round.

Re: Downton Abbey
I usually love Downton but I was not keen on last night's episode, apart from the last 15 mins when they celebrated Christmas and it all happened within that time. Prior to that I found it all confusing, switching between houses and storylines.
I wonder if Tom will return from America in the next series or has the actor decided to leave the show? I shall miss his character.

Yes, its a shame he's going CC. I thought it seemed as if they had 'left the door open' for him to return sometime in the future, as he wasn't killed off was he.
