Downton Abbey

Yes, I do love the style of the period for women - being tall, I think I could have carried it off....
I just love the way Downton immediately wafts me off into another world - thought last night's opening episode was perfect!

John Lewis ad is really clever.

I really enjoyed it, I love to look at the costumes and the sets. The dresses are so lovely does anyone else envy the style of the day? Before any old misery points out, only for the wealthy, I know.

Mind you, you had to be tall to carry them off, so that's me out then.

John Lewis do good ads don't they? I particularly liked the one about a woman's life from birth to being a mother and (I think) grandmother to the song "Always a woman".
Good old escapist costume drama - thank you ITV!!

I loved it and I loved the new John Lewis ad. shown in several breaks thought it was very cleaver.

Oh, it is coming back to me now! (See thread on memory!) It was Lord Grantham himself who had a bit of a fling when he was very worried about Lady Mary. (Well, they always have an excuse).

I loved it too!
Greatnan That baby was someone elses not Lord G's.

Didn't they cover the illegitimate baby story in the last series - I think the housekeeper was very kind to the unmarried mother. I am going to have to google the story lines from last time! (Did somebody just ask about memory)

I've recorded it as I HAD to watch the last George Gently.

Well even if she did turn up with a baby, it could never be in line as it would be illegitimate so I reckon Matthew and Mary will probably produce the next heir at the end of this series!

I loved it too!
Is anyone else waiting for the servant the Lord had a fling with to turn up with a baby boy who will be first in line?

I loved it too!

I loved it!

I have only seen one episode so far and don't feel an urge to watch it, but I do enjoy the trailers that show Maggie Smith coming out with her brilliant quips.

It was everything you might have expected, including little bits of trailed plot that will come in for the next series. Bit disappointed with Shirley MacLaine; they didn't seem to have made the most of her. Maybe that's to come.
