Another great Статья I found on tumblr, this time by ladychauffeurs. I DID NOT WRITE THIS ARTICLE. I just thought it was excellent, so I Опубликовано it to the Branson and Sybil spot, but I felt I should post it here, too. That way the people who don't like Sybil/Branson или Branson (to whom this Статья is addressed), who are unlikely to go on the Branson and Sybil spot, have a chance to read it, too.

"DOWNTON ABBEY" – Series Three (2012) Retrospective

"DOWNTON ABBEY" – Series Three (2012) Retrospective

It took me a while to get around watching Series Three of "DOWNTON ABBEY". I had been inclined to watch it, while it aired on PBS last winter. But in the end, I decided to wait until the DVD release was offered through Netflix.

I suspect that some of my reluctance to watch the show's Series Three could be traced to my major disappointment over the lackluster Series Two. In fact, a part of me is amazed that the series' shoddy look at World War I could end up with an Emmy nomination for Best Drama. But I figured that series creator, Julian...

"The Wrong Class"

"THE WRONG CLASS"

After three seasons of viewing Britain's ITV series, "DOWNTON ABBEY", it occurred to me that there was something off about Julian Fellowes' portrayal of one of the major characters. That character is Matthew Crawley. And it is an error that I am surprised Fellowes had made.

"DOWNTON ABBEY" began with news of the sinking of the White звезда liner, the R.M.S. Титаник in April 1912. This famous event also caused the deaths of James and Patrick Crawley, the heirs presumptive to the Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham. This disruption in the line for the Grantham earldom forced Lord...

"DOWNTON ABBEY" – Series Two (2011) Retrospective

The debut of Julian Fellowes' series about an aristocratic family during the last few years before the outbreak of World War I garnered a great deal acclaim and awards, earlier this year. The success of the series led the ITV and Fellowes to continue the saga of the Earl of Grantham, his family and servants in a new season.

Series Two of "DOWNTON ABBEY" covered the last two years of World War I and the first год of peace during the years 1916 to 1919. Episode One began with Matthew Crawley, the heir presumptive for the Earl of Grantham enduring...

Why I Любовь Downton Abbey?

posted by deedragongirl

Season 1 cast?

Since this is my first Статья on this periodical drama, I will write down the reasons on why I Любовь Downton Abbey.

Interesting Story

I only watch bits of the series, but I hope to watch it from season 1. From what I heard, the story is very interesting and it is not like any drama that I had seen, may it be modern или period drama.

Lovely Costumes

I Любовь periodical costumes, especially in Europe. I was very familiar with Agatha Christie's Poirot and Miss Marple, so I have no single problem with this drama!

The British Cast

Although I did not watch season 3 onward, but when I watch the 2015 Дисней reboot of Cinderella. I found out that Lily James was also from this drama, ironically her Downton Abbey costar Dan Stevens will play the Beast/ Prince Adam in this year's reboot of Disney's Beauty and the Beast!

See Ты Soon!

So, here are my 3 reasons and I will be seeing this Показать soon. Would Ты all like to see it?

Christmas Special!

Downton Abbey Series One Episode Two Review

So, just to say, this Статья is not mine, all the credit goes to MarlyK from Basket of Kisses here:

Mathew Crawley and his Mum, Isobel, ride in one of those gorgeous cars that had to be hand-cranked. Matthew looks cranky. He is. You, too, would be in a foul mood if you’d been told Ты were about to inherit a beautiful castle, a large fortune, a title, and a household of servants to wait on Ты hand and foot. Isobel, his momma, chides him, “There’s no legal mechanism for Ты to refuse it. When Ты inherit, Ты can throw it away!” What else is an inheritance for, anyway?
Things get...

Фаны flock to the real Downton Abbey

posted by hugedowntonfan

I'm a huge Фан of Downton Abbey much like others on this site. My cousin in Australia is also raving about it too where its appaerntly a huge hit. I so fell in Любовь with the characters and places that I wanted to visit where they filmed it so I did a bit of googling and found Ты can do a tour. Without further ado I booked myself on this link which I can highly recommend as it goes to Downton Village and then finishes up at Highclere замок where they film the main scenes above stairs. So go on treat yourself like we did and see where its all filmed.

Concerning Branson and Sybil and *THAT* Комментарий He Made

posted by FlightofFantasy

I saw this brilliant Статья by GreenKneeHighs@tumblr, and I Опубликовано it to the Branson and Sybil spot, but I felt I should post it here, too, because I figure most Sybil/Branson Фаны are also Фаны of Branson, so would support this Статья without question, when the people who really NEED to read this are those Downton Abbey Фаны who don't like Sybil/Branson или Branson. I think this Статья really puts into perspective some of the Комментарии Branson has made that have proved unpopular with the fandom.

Once again, I DID NOT write this article; all credit goes to GreenKneeHighs@tumblr.

"DOWNTON ABBEY" – Series One Retrospective

The announcement of ITV’s new series, "DOWNTON ABBEY", had attracted my interest the moment I had learned it would air on American television, during the winter of 2011.

5 Real-Life Companies Cashing In on 'Downton Abbey'

posted by Kathleen_C

Realism, it ain’t. In the world of Downton Abbey, war is a weekend sport and young ladies can kill Turkish diplomats with sex. The characters, when not in the midst of a pause, race through history and the corridors of Highclere замок with breath-taking speed and dramatic flair. Some people swear by the show, calling it "compulsively watchable"; others ridicule its stylized dramatics and jump-the-shark antics, but you’ll be hard pressed to find a person who can’t hum the theme song.

Downton Abbey premiered on Great Britain’s ITV (ITV.LN) on September 26, 2010. It quickly gained...
