Lady Edith: So he slipped the hook.
Lady Mary: At least I’m not fishing with no bait.

I just loved “Downton Abbey”… the story, the people, the way of life, just everything!
It was a wonderful show. There are rumours of a film. He wrote Gosford Park so he knows how how to write a successful film too.
Yes, I heard about a film… Interesting project!
This sounds fabulous!
Fabulous is the best way to describe it.
Yes. A wonderful set of characters. All really distinctive and with their own motivations and insecurities.
A classic period drama.
Loved the bitchy one liners there. And Maggie Smith owned the show.
She did. There’s one I remember which I shall have to put up sometime. She is criticising someone and her son says that the person is a friend of hers. “Just because we’re friends doesn’t mean I like them.” – Ha
So funny and cutting, with effortless class.
My favorite show! The animosity between these two sisters reached staggering levels at stages.
I thought you might make an appearance 🙂 Their scenes are great. Funny to think they became close friends in real life and were flatmates while filming. The scenes between Violet and Isobel Crawley were delightful too. The classic irresistible force versus the immovable object.
I loved this show!! Pity it had to end!!
I know. Exquisite show.
I absolutely love Downton! So wished I could have been around in that time. Fly on the wall so to speak
I know! So much going on at both ends of the house. Would be fun to go to Highclare Castle too.
True! I’d love to visit there
