I love it - recording it and watching BB

I'm watching it and recording it so I can watch it again

Really looking forward to it 

I fully expected you to be in my lack of fashion thread!!!!

 

not coz you are not trendy now, but the photos from your youth, you must have a tale or two?

A tale or two, I could probably instantly make the thread 150 pages 

I love it too.... recording it to watch at leisure 

OOOh Trouble at Mill 

Getting right into it now

I thoroughly enjoyed that It's great to see our favourites back, I like the transition into the new Downton too Vera was despicable! I'll be racking my brains thinking of how they can get rid of her I wonder if Gwen is happy in her new job, I hope they find a way to tell us how she's getting on I liked Mary a whole lot more tonight, she seems to have softened

I hope that lord such n such gets off his high horse stops his nonsense and makes amends with the Lovely Anna. 

I hope he gets rid of Vera and reunites Anna & mr bates!

A bit of arsenic perhaps, there will be Muuurderr in Downton before long.

Maybe she could drink too much and fall into a river

Maybe her corsets could be strewn with invisible deadly tarantula itching powder. 

I'd forgotten about Mr Bates **all of a dither** 

I watched it as well as sky+ it so can watch at my leisure! We warmed up for last night by watching the first series on dvd.... Brillo!

 

I lurve Bates, Matthew and the divine Lord Grantham and all the women apart from Vera (eeeeebil cah) and Ethel (that one's a tramp...mark my words!).

 

I actually cheered when Bates and Anna had a wee snog!! Then shouted when the eeeebil cah came along to ruin everything for them....they need to set Miss O'Brian on to her....good on Mrs Hughes and her magic listening grate...and I think Carson has one of the best voices on telly...ever!

Haha I enjoyed reading your post mrs b! And quite agree! I hope Matthew doesn't marry Lavinia! And he is rather fit isn't he I don't like Edith either, the madam that she is!

Mr Bates 

 

 

Hands up who winced when Thomas got his hand shot 

Saw it on catchup tonight! Nee adverts! So much signposting going on that we assumed it was performed with the US Market in mind.

Caught up at my parents' house earlier this evening (love watching these kinds of shows with my mum). It is so well made, well acted and well written. Totally deserved 4 Emmy awards.

Oh I've got a pic from the emmy's to post in here, I must remember to do it tomorrow on the computer I'm delighted they won 4 awards!!!!!! They also beat spooks in the ratings And I definitely winced when Thomas got his hand shot

Don't get me wrong Suzy! I think it's well made and well acted. We have never missed an episode! Not too sure about the writing though.

Mr bates really has become something of a heart throb hasn't he!

Sometimes I think Cora is a bit wooden

As for beating spooks in the ratings...... I assumed that people were sat there in shock after watching the shieght that is called the x factor (we caught the last 0.25 hour) They were unable to turn over! Though to be fair the script was well written. Spooks was below par and the last scenes were sick making. "I love you mommy!" mebbees they are writing spooks for the US too!

I have to admit, if I were a spooks fan, I'd have recorded Downton so that I could skip the ads when I watched it later. I dare say downton's ratings would have been even higher if this wasn't a factor.. Notice how BB didn't even get a look in #teamdownton

Garage Joe, what is this x factor you speak of..

Oh Joe, I love it....especially some of the lines Dame Maggie spits out 

I love love this programme especially the wonderful Maggie Smith! And I've always liked Mary ... (looking forward to seeing more of Thomas now he'll be coming home I guess )

 

He has a twinkle in his eye and lovely manners....he obvioulsy adores Anna (lucky mare) and he's honourable....it's not always the looks that make a heart throb!

A touch of Andi Macdowell in Four Weddings really.....mind you...I find Cora infinitely more likeable than Carrie!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAND...will Lady Sybil get it on with Branson the chaufeur?? She should  I would....but he would be behind Matthew, Bates and Lord G in the queue!!!

 

I don't want Matthew to marry Lavinia either....not cos she is nasty (she is a tad drippy at the moment though!)...but cos Mary is so fabulous! I also keep expecting Mrs Crawley to say 'I'm Harriet Jones, Prime Minister'!!!!

I hope cybil doesn't get it on with Branson, I think it would undermine her character, both her sisters have a naughty, bitchy side and I love that so far cybil hasn't. I'd like to see her keep up her positive, admirable qualities

But she is the one they are using to highlight the breaking down of the gap in the classes etc....I reckon she will eventually!!!!

You're probably right, I'll still enjoy the show regardless, it could be a very exciting storyline too! I thought daisy looked prettier this season, was her uniform a different colour?

I have finally managed to watch the first episode of Downton..... and thoroughly enjoyed it.  Maggie Smith was ace, as always, and I can see some potentially interesting story lines developing.....

well done Baz, glad you liked it I don't want to wish my weekend away but I'm looking forward to the show tomorrow

Well.. What did we all think of tonight's episode?! Lady Edith so she looked down on Mary for her fling with mr pamook and here she now is, snogging a married farmer! I'm shocked! I do love her tractor driving antics though (even if that tree stump wouldn't actually come out of the ground like that) Mary! Why?! You should have just told Matthew that you love him!!!!!! I think I've developed a little crush on mr Crawley he is looking and behaving rather dashingly indeed! Lady grantham had me chuckling tonight Carson, aw so sweet, what a gentleman I missed mr bates, I do hope there's plenty of time for him next week!

I love it, but completely missed the first series. Is there anywhere I can catcht up? Thank you.

got an image of hugh whatshisface with a rampant rabbit up his bottom
