Downton-The Season Finale
Dowton departed and left us with a lovely sigh. Until the Christmas special that is. This reminds us of what we fell in love with in the first season, country drama, upstairs downstairs angst and meddling grandmothers. I liked it. It was all so mellow and thank heavens there were no clichés; Ivy didn’t marry…

Downton returned to its old splendour of grand entertaining with an Australian opera singer for their evening’s entertainment. How very civilised. Much of this week revolved around romance and scandal. Upstairs, Lady Edith was…

Downton Abbey Season 4. Ep.2
It was a rather quiet week in Downton although there was more going on upstairs than downstairs but it was all rather &^%*9!£$!!! slow and steady and a tad tedious to watch because not a lot happened but something did… if you know what I mean. Footmen fighting over girls, grumpy old Mr Molesley, loving…
