I'm Tom Branson which is just as well seeing as I do all the driving!!

Carson. At least the gender was right.

Mr Bates. Well, I liked his character....but I'm female!

Another Dowager Duchess here - she's one of my favourite characters but I'm a big Maggie Smith fan

Mrs Hughes!

Never watched it, but I'm the butler

Nothing personal Joan but I don't particularly want to sleep with you. grin

annodomini Sun 05-Jan-14 12:55:43

I haven't watched it, but I am the Dowager. grin

Kitty I am also Anna and had the exact same thought when I saw Joan's post. Think I'd rather stay with Master Bates grin

Looks as though lots of us are the Dowager Duchess, goodness knows why I am too although I do admire her strength of character

So far I am the only cook, I hope I get some staff soon, smile

KatyK Sun 05-Jan-14 14:40:39

I am Anna! That suits me fine - I wouldn't mind snuggling up to Mr Bates!

jennycockerspaniel Sun 05-Jan-14 22:06:08

I am the lord I, love dogs and Pimms would that help to be him?

Well I'm the Earl of Grantham! Actually I thought I might be before I realised it was a quiz and then that came out. I found the colours hard to choose from they were all so garish ( my computer?)

I'm definitely not Lady Edith. I liked Sybil the best.

Another Dowager Duchess here! Quite pleased really, I think she is hilarious. Really love this era, my husband and I had a 20s/30s themed wedding in June 2012. I walked down the aisle to 'Always' by the Ink Spots and back up again to 'Me and My Gal' by Al Jolson. We had a beautiful 1926 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost which was all red velvet inside, it was gorgeous. Nearly everyone dressed up as flapper girls and gangsters etc. and we had a great day! smile x

MargaretX, The actress who played Sybil will be starring in Jamaica Inn which is something to look forward to. Can't remember her name though.

I am Thomas, oh deary me

MargaretX Mon 06-Jan-14 16:48:01

Good for you, Annie Secretly I rather like Thomas and would prefer his company to Mr Bates any day. Sorry he's gay.
There are so many Dowager duchesses amongst you all. That explains why GN is so interesting.

Anniebach Mon 06-Jan-14 17:03:19

True Margaret, at least he isn't boring , and rather dishy too

MargaretX Mon 06-Jan-14 17:08:31

You said it Annie he is dishy.......

kittylester Mon 06-Jan-14 17:12:48

Tom Branson gay - nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!! Say it isn't so sad

Ana Mon 06-Jan-14 17:14:23

Noooooo, kitty - Thomas the valet!!! grin

kittylester Mon 06-Jan-14 17:15:57

Phew - he's far too oily for my liking!!! grin

Lona Mon 06-Jan-14 17:19:27

In my dreams, I'm Mrs Tom Branson wink

Iam64 Mon 06-Jan-14 18:40:27

Thomas the valet is also one of the baddy characters,never let's us down, always behaves appallingly.

broomsticks Mon 06-Jan-14 20:48:37
