Downton - great fun 13 Years, 7 Months ago
Maggie Smith... "no-one wants to kiss a girl in black" - possibly my favourite TV line this year. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

Re:Downton - great fun 13 Years, 7 Months ago
Didn't like it I'm afraid. Maggie Smith the only saviour for me. A sort of poorer version of Upstairs Downstairs. Disappointing. Anything though is better than George Gently and his awful geordie sidekick. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

Well FC I'm sorry but I'm absolutely loving it; I actually laughed out loud several times. It's as good as Upstairs Downstairs but different. I'm totally hooked. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

I'm sure Maggie Smith is already a Dame but if she's not she should be. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

I'm completely in love with this series; it is so incredibly well done - it views like the best of BBC Sunday drama yet it's ITV (I suspect Peter Fincham deserves the credit). A serious addiction.

Yes, it's good fun. I get the impression they worked on the general idea, and then the cast, then the characters and only finally the storyline, but that's probably the only way it could be sold in the first place. It's certainly a refreshing change from endless contemporary crime dramas. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

Funnily enough I watched an old rerun of Upstairs, Downstairs and the plot and characterisations are very similar - sardonic butler, fat cook, dim maid etc. Still a market for this kind of drama.
