    Did not realize until Michelle's comment that the mourning dress was the same design as the wedding dress. Brilliant for a presentation that seems to want to pride itself with new and surprising scenes and wardrobes.

    This was my grandmother’s era. I have fond memories of the things she told me. Whenever my sis and I take tours thru the homes out in Newport Rhode Island it all comes back to me. If I could time travel this is a time frame I would love to visit.

    Matthew's death was handled extremely well by the series, especially given how late and suddenly Dan Stevens decided to leave. They don't have excessive tears, and yet there's that shock and disbelief conveyed in the first part of series 4. Couldn't have been done better

      At first I was angry that he took the part, then ran. Then I saw the other roles he took and I thought that for a young man I did not blame him at all, especially the Dickens role. After that, it was especially good to me because Fellows made Mary a perfect character without having intended to and likely she would have been anyway.

    I'm from Romania and I dare say the British, like no other , know so well how to make this kind of movies ! There was no need to repeat that but I felt I should because " Downton Abby" , following the tradition of "Forsythe Saga" ( the version with Eric Porter as Somes ) but in a more successful manner, is exceeding all the expectations and demolish any criticism...Personally I've seen all the versions of Downton Abbey ( the series, the 2019 version, etc ) more than once because every time I discover something new that I previously overlooked and enjoy every second of it...All my thanks and respect to all the people who worked and made a huge effort (i.e. actors in leading roles, supporting actors, director, script writer, make-up artists, technical crew, etc ) just for us....the viewers, to offer us so many moments of delight. THANK YOU AGAIN ..

This really was a production with some of the best talent. Both on and off camera. It is of no wonder that 'Downton Abbey' was and is so popular.

    what I liked best was that Lord G initially intended her to eat with the staff in the kitchen, not
    with the family. She was just "entertainment". In 1922, Melba was at the end of her career, and
    a legend. Hard to imagine that she would have been treated as just entertainment

    • @adamjeffries7235
      @adamjeffries7235 Рік тому +3

      no, she was meant to eat alone in her room. no one thought she was a chambermaid status. the problem with classism is the lord could not place her if she did not have a title. in the scene the lord was shocked that the opera singer understand claret

    But poor Anna 😕
    Why did it have to be Anna? She and Bates go through way more than their fair share, and they’re both decent people. I know bad things happen to good people, but for hell’s sake, they do push that too far.
    Don’t think I can forgive Julian Fellowes for putting Anna (and Bates) through that rape storyline. Should have been one of the lesser known characters. Those things happened to staff, sadly, so of course it’s a valid storyline. But to heap that misery on Anna again…
    Terribly cruel.

    English is not my native language, and the differences between British and American English really stand out. I know many obvious differences, but I never realized before Downton Abbey that in Britain a “season” of a show is called “series”. I believe in the US the word “series” applies to the entire show with division to “seasons” of it. Am I correct?
    I love this show. Amazing script, wonderful actors. And so many moments when I see time and again the reasons behind each nomination and each received award for this show. Brilliant actors - from principal characters to the characters that appear even for just an episode or two... Brilliant!
    Although I found quite a funny name - Dame Kiri Te Kanawa - [kanawa] in my language means “a ditch” on the side of a road, where one could find rain water, some roadside garbage. Looking at a beautiful glamorous singer, knowing who she is per script, made me giggle a bit because of her name... And at the same time I had to look up who she was - and I came across some snippets of her singing - her voice is so beautiful! And I was so glad about her name - sparked my curiosity and now I know of her and her beautiful soprano. I didn’t realize it was her real voice in the show and not someone else signing for the character of Nellie Melba... So ironic! Ashamed to say that I’m a daughter of a professional classic musician and I have never heard of Nellie Melba before - and a silly curiosity helped me learn something new and share it with my mother - who is a pianist and a conductor and she admitted she never heard of Nellie Melba before either... Thought I’d share this with the world :).

    Manchester-born writer, CA MacRae, met with Carolyn Reynolds, Executive Producer of Coronation Street over a script she wrote in 2004. Inspired by Carolyn's positive comments C.A. MacRae began research years later when life enabled her. So if you love Downton Abbey and conspiracy theories, then you will love C.A MacRae's Gemini Complex, The Cabal: After the final demise of the Cathars at Chateau Mount Montségur in the south of France in 1244, a heroic rescue by a Knights Templar took place. Six hundred and fifty-three years later a murder and spate of suspicious deaths of the clergy become linked in the south of France. Flo’s first day (10th November 1918) at Chandringham doesn’t work out quite how she imagined. A bright but humble farm girl finds herself thrust into the upper echelons of society. Rather than being trained in the everyday tasks of a maid, she’s told she needs to leave her old life behind and immerse herself in the life of the aristocracy, as Lady Mary Tavistock. Her world is turned upside down, Flo realises she’s not the person she’s always thought she was, and to make matters worse she finds out her life is endangered. In order to make sense of who she really is and what her purpose in life is, she’s sent to Switzerland to meet others of her kind. The Gemini Complex, The Cabal is the first book of a trilogy. It's going to be released later this year
