Terribly sorry I haven't posted this past week.
You see, Lady Town and Country, er, I mean Town and Country Mom came rather late to the party at Downton Abbey, and she used all her usual writing time soaking up the brilliant Masterpiece Classic! Really, waiting until September for the next episodes seems impossible! Thank heaven for Netflix!
This wonderful clip features one of my favorite lines from the series. No one but Maggie Smith could play Lady Dowager Violet Crawley.
No one.
And, what will become of the beautiful and cunning sisters, Syblil, Mary, and Edith?
I think Elizabeth McGovern is delightful as Lady Cora Crawley, and Lady Cora handles her mother-in-law with true Yankee ingenuity.
Once I finished watching the seventh episode, I went straight to the PBS website where I found this interesting interview with the series creator Julian Fellowes.
So, tell me, are you a Downton Abbey fan?
And, if you are, please tell me how you are getting your Brit fix between now and September!
Ahhh, did you just love that????? It is on my wish list!!!! It just takes me away! I have missed you, but you have a legitimate reason!
ReplyDeleteAlexandra and I snuggle under a well worn cashmere blanket watching period pieces whenever she comes home. LOVE THEM!!!!
I was obsessed with Downton Abbey - what a fabulous show!! But I found the ending very frustrating!! They are filming this month - hopefully all goes well so that there are no delays for the next installments! I've seen the PBS segment as well - have you read Snobs?
ReplyDeleteLove it. Just trying to wait. Impatiently.
ReplyDeleteL.O.V.E. it....can't wait....I hope someone has an answer!!!
ReplyDeleteMaybe I can snuggle up and watch IF this weather doesn't get any better! I'll have to look this up - never heard of it!
ReplyDeleteLoved it! Watched 39 Steps (2008 British remake) on Masterpiece Theatre this past Sunday and the new Upstairs Downstairs will be starting this coming Sunday with Jean Marsh!
ReplyDeleteI adore Downton Abbey! I cannot wait until Season 2!!!
ReplyDeleteI came late to Downton also but caught it during the remainder of its original airing here. Just last Saturday my cousin and I were telling her daughter about it and how she needed to catch it on netflix. We were so funny trying to communicate our fave moments without giving it away to the newbie - we were finishing each other's sentences with a lot of "ohs" and "I know"...too funny. Lots of good stuff should be in next season, some weddings perhaps????
ReplyDeleteHmm...right up my alley. I can get it on Netflix? The whole season?
ReplyDeleteFollowing you.
Loved it and am eagerly awaiting Julian Fellows next series. By the way, are you familiar with Monarch of the Glen? Julian is a regular character in the series...it is an old show but just as much fun to watch...you will want to go to Scotland after this one :)
