I haven’t seen Gosford Park but I bet it’s the kind of film I’d like! If you get the chance to give Downton a try you should – it’s brilliant!

And I shall try to include the word “swoonsome” more often, if it makes you happy. x

They did pack a lot in the second series, granted. But I loved the pace of it. Saying that, as long as they keep Granny and those pretty costumes I’ll be a fan for life.

Oh totally agreed! I love a good costume drama and particularly Downton. I have a major crush on Matthew and LOVE Lady Mary’s dresses. I am so glad that ITV have commissioned a 3rd series!

See, I just can’t do costume dramas as they really irritate me – Gosford Park is the only film I’ve walked out of in the cinema. Well, actually Chicago too but that’s a different story. I hear so much good stuff about Downton Abbey I’ve wondered what all the fuss is about, it’s clearly touched a lot of people.

p.s. I LOVE the word swoonsome and shall try to use it today in a sentence.

Yes, yes, yes to all though I’m not a fan of thrillers and felt as though I’d run a marathon by the end of each episode. And the coincidences and cliches were too cheesey, even for a die-hard sofa-bound Sunday nighter. I’ll miss it, but hope they slow down a bit for the next series.

Not yet, but I definitely want to now. I missed the first series of Downton but found it so easy to pick up with the second it didn’t matter. It’s addictive viewing – and Maggie Smith is BRILLIANT!
