It speaks highly of Robert that he immediately predicts (correctly) that only the ladies in first class would have been gotten off the ship and that he acknowledges the tragedy of the lower classes. Thus establishing him as a sympathetic character, rather than an obnoxious aristocrat who ignores those below his rank.
it immediately sets him (and therefore the family) apart from what we expect from aristocrats of that era. Subtly and brilliantly done.
Surely if an fficer saw ladt by herself she be put in a boat
@Sir Goth Nerd Third class had no access to the boats on their assigned deck and had no direct access up to A Deck that was previously open to them. This is without mentioning that the boats were not filled to capacity and two were unable to be launched properly. Whether she was alone or not didn’t matter.
I honestly doubt any aristocrat in 1912 would care about the poor devils below 😀😀
@@caspervanelli6502 As much as I enjoy the hell out of this show...yeah that right there, lets be honest. Show me a 1%er that cares about the 99% and then that conversation MIGHT be able to start.
Love the bit of social awareness the apparently main character shows when he says "you mean the ladies in first class?"
I agree I like it, I wonder though if that is a realistic quote from an earl in 1912. I also wonder if an earl woud really discuss it with the butler that way he does?!
Never would of happened in real life. Just liberal Hollywood BS.
notnek202 yes because you were alive in 1912 and in every household so of corse you know what you are talking about
NSTK and you were there in 1912? Most servants were never seen or heard by their employers. It’s call history learn something.
NSTK check out Servants the true story below stairs. It’s here on UA-cam
Robert probably doesn't even know that the servants iron his newspaper every single day, because they've done so his whole life and he's never known any different.
Teddy 97 and he’s not told either, most things are as if magically ready-made
I don't think an earl in 1912 would care even if he knew.
Do your servants not?
@@georgeprchal3924 No they don't because I don't actually touch the newspaper. I have my butler read the news to me while I look upon my castle grounds.
@@teddy9770 yes the yard wolves have finally grown, a sign the cold-dead winter is at an end.
The scene at 1:38, where Robert makes his first appearance in the series... the music, the slow walk down the steps... perfect introduction to the viewer. Before a word is said you know who the boss is.
Oh yes. The dog respectfully at his heels, the camera framing him through the arch...it all adds up to his quiet power.
That is class and power.
Below Deck.
@@jennymacallan9071 👍
We can also easily tell that Carson runs a tight ship downstairs from the first time he appears.
who would of thought that james cameron's titanic is a prequel to downton abbey
Julian Fellows made a Titanic miniseries.
And sadly the Titanic miniseries is full of bullshits... I can't understand how Julian Fellows could do a so nice work on Downton Abbey and not on Titanic. :(
*have
The sinking of the Titanic (a historic event that Cameron used as a plot device) is also integral to the plot of the original "Upstairs, Downstairs."
It would have been quite the easter egg had he said "We dined with the Hockley's last month"
My mate from school, his great grandfather had a ticket for Titanic but was a raving alcoholic. He got hammered the night before and due to his hangover/being poor, couldn’t get there in time as he had to walk from his hotel. That entire family would never have been if he had got there as planned.
So what you're really saying is.. cracking open a cold one with the boys really is.. the way?
@@sirtrollalot7762 I dunno mate, I got hammered watching the footy yesterday and work is tough today
welp a cold one with the boys really made you boys
Looks like your mate's great grandfather dodged a bullet there.
Obviously it wasn’t your mates great-grandfathers time otherwise he’d have gotten on the ship
It's weird to think that this was the first episode - the show is already so mature and in its own flow. So many shows begin with shaky, awkward pilots but this show feels already established.
I know right! You really feel like you get thrown into the middle of the story 😃
I loved that you see Thomas for a quick moment and know that people better keep an eye on him.
I totally agree!! That's when you know it's a marvelous show in the making
It would be so cool if this was set in the universe as James Cameron titanic movie.
My thoughts, exactly. In Media Res, masterfully done.
“you’re late.”
“i know, but-“
“but what?”
“you’ll see.”
chills.
my mom basically had to tie me down to the couch and hold my eyelids open to get me to watch the first episode. i had been relentlessly mocking the show and it’s posh setting. i ended up sitting up ramrod straight for the entire episode and watched the rest of the series in the space of about three months. this really is The Best Show.
At first I was like what the hell am I watching but after a few episodes I was committed and obsessed with it
Omg same
Yes, I started watching because a co-worker of mine was always talking about it. I finally decided to give it a shot.
In Upstairs, Downstairs, this was the second season opener, except that Lady Bellamy died and her maid survived, so her husband, Sir Richard, was suddenly living in his son's (James) house. They also had the courage to go to the 1929 Crash, when James lost his fortune, as well as that of Upstairs (chief) maid Rose (the main character), and went into a rented room and "did the right thing".
SAME!
I knew from the moment I watched the first episode that Downton Abbey was going to redefine the period drama. My mom first recommended it to me because she knew how fascinated I was with the Titanic disaster. It really was like the 9/11 of it’s day, people woke up to the news of this bizarre catastrophe, and it shocked them and let us all know how our experience and intelligence can only take us so far. As one historian said, it is the ultimate fight of Man and Machine versus the powers of God and Nature. We can accomplish great things as a species, but “pride is before a fall.” Never underestimate the elements of this planet, even when the road stretching ahead of you seems to be free of bumps. Death and disaster are always waiting for those unaware of their presence.
Your comment is Gold. Thank you for that!
It indeed is like 9/11 for the time. The MAritime laws changed and still are the same (mostly) because of the sinking of that beauty in April. Same with 9/11. Airline laws where changed nearly the same day to prevent something like that. I Flew as a Flight Attendant under Europan lawas and in training there was a sentence that our instructor told us that still gets me today : " you are the last line of defense, no one shall ever use an Airplane as a Weapon".
Not that they used Titanic as a weapon but the premise is quite the same.
Realest thing I read in this comment section! 💯
My hubby and in-laws recommended it because of the fashion. (I love clothes ❤️)
One thing about this series is my hubby can’t stand anything that involves drama, but he LOVES this show!!! Lol
Nothing like 9/11 unless the iceberg purposely crashed into the ship.
The titanic is the most overrated disaster in human history. All because of the myth it was considered unsinkable. Which isn't even true. No one ever referred to it as unsinkable that was just Hollywood nonsense.
However he can be stuck-up sometimes, I always remembered that Robert's toughts instantly went to the lower classes onboard. For everything else, he was aware of unfair treatment between classes and did show genuine concern about it
This scene made me immediately love the character of Robert. Born an aristocratic, but empathic of those who are not. One line sets this up perfectly.
Throughout the series, the family has more empathy toward the lower class than Carson does. He is much more of a snob than the family is.
Damn when she moved that tray with all those dishes I would’ve been too scared to move it an inch lol
My Grannie’s older brother was born a month before the Titanic sank so his older siblings teased him that it sank because he was born. Then my Grannie was born in 1914 and her older siblings teased her that WWI started because of her 😂
This is so freaking cruel and hilarious at the same time lol
Watching this series, made me realize that Mary, Edith, and Sybil would have been contemporaries of 3 of my grandparents ( born in 1889, 1890, and 1891. My paternal grandmother was born in 1901) My maternal grandparents married in June 1912. My paternal grandparents married in 1917 before my grandfather went with his Army unit to France. He was injured in WWI about 2 weeks before the Armistice.
My Grandmother (my father's side) was born July 1912. She passed 2014. Its remarkable what a world she lived through.
Haha. My grandad was born I think about two weeks before WW2 🤣
@@marisolmedina4184 only family can make such jokes. After the dog died we teased our brother it was because of his farts. Family humor.
Love how the first episode mentions one of the biggest events in history. The Titanic wasn't small thing was swept under the rug it was a big deal. Because of it boat and ship safety was changed.
Yeah but no lusitania
there was also the sinking of the transatlantic the Empress of Ireland (1914) 1,012 people did not survive.
I have never watched this series but when I hear that the costumes, sets, manners and etiquette are correct, plus the show is British, that makes me so happy.
@jdslyman Yes, and its FINALLY on netflix! Watching the first episode tonight!
@@staaswolter641 so how far you've reached and are you liking it?
- A fellow britiah period drama fan🥺
For costume drama, Downton Abbey and Mr Selfridge were highlights of the 2010s.
Ironing the newspaper.. 👈🏻 Love the detail!
Yes. It was a morning ritual. Imagine...
Pressing the press
My father introduced me to a friend of his in the 1960's who was still at that time a "gentleman's gentleman" and this was in Canada. It's true part of his chores was to iron the pages of the newspaper.
It wasn't done for wrinkles. It was done because the inks back then did not set permanently like they do now. The iron heat sets the ink. I remember even when I was a teen your hands could be a mess of black after reading the daily paper. Later on you'd avoid the cheaper publications because they still used those soft inks. The better news papers used the modern fast set inks.
That is when one knows one has serious money.
@@elizabethlinsay9193 I can't. Lol.
JJ Astor didn't get off, he drowned and that " new wife of his" Cora mentioned did get picked up and was widowed.
ahmed ahmed they only got married a few weeks prior as well
@@jacobjacquin oh really? That's so sad.
Are you guys aware she was only 18
Colonel Astor- "Jack" to his intimates"- was crushed to death by the foremost funnel/smokestack falling on him, like Fabrizio in the Titanic film; his corpse was broken and covered in soot. Also, most Titanic victims died of hypothermia, not drowning.
@@jacobjacquin they'd been married some MONTHS before, not weeks- September 1911, to be exact.
This scene perfectly encapsulates how horrific and unprecedented the Titanic disaster was. Everyone knew someone who lost a relative. Since 1912 we've had two world wars, 9/11, the Asian tsunami, etc, and the world population has increased eight fold. People in those days simply weren't used to mass-casualty events.
A few days after the sinking, a news reporter went to Southampton, where 2/3rds of the crew had lived (75% of whom died) . He met an old lady on a busy street corner and she pointed out random faces. "Mary there lost two sons... that's Mrs Baker going into the shop, she lost her husband and brother-in-law. The shopkeeper lost his uncle, auntie and their three children."
They went to a classroom of 50 children, amd the teacher asked "If you knew someome who died on the Titanic, stand up". And every child stood up.
Weren't used to mass casualty events? Dude they used to hand out popcorn for public executions not long before that.
@@Fireglo that's not a mass casualty event... and didn't involve innocent people
Mine disasters were utterly common place. Underground coal mines made the WW1 front lines look like safe work places. And then there is the fishing industry - even today, half of all fishermen die at sea.
The Titanic was notable because of the number of ultra rich who died.
Allan Gibson not to mention the sensational press attached to the ship’s promotion.
You need to understand that the early years of the 20th century marked the highest point of Western society. European power is at its apex, it’s culture flourishing, and new technology kept on pushing our human limitations on experiencing and seeing the world. This is the age that gave the world the ultra-rich capitalists/industrialists like Rockefeller, JP Morgan, Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford, Vanderbilt, Thomas Edison, etc; all of whom had acquired their wealth in the then unregulated financial and industrial world with resources that the Industrial Revolution has given them (railroads, modern banking, oil, assembly line, electricity, cheap steel). This is the age that gave us futurist and early sci-fi writers like Jules Verne and H. G. Wells with its beautiful depictions of the future. Socially, society were advancing steadily in terms of human rights and standards. Labor unions began to gain power, women rights to vote were being considered and debated, and new health discoveries were applied into new health standards and laws for cities, food inspection, housing, etc. It was called the Gilded Age.
The Titanic is the embodiment of the apex of that age: huge, luxurious, incorporating the best technologies of her day, and a testament of the industrial capabilities of the day. Just like people thought the goods days would never end, people thought the Titanic would never sink. But then it sank in 1912. 2 years later, World War 1 began. Never again would the West experience such an optimistic world as was the late 1800s-early 1900s. The death of innocence, if I may say.
9/11 is not the only terrible act of terror that has happened since then, neithe is Asian tsunami the only devastating natural disaster. Currently the biggest and most devastating war in Europe since ww2 is going on in Ukraine. Genocide is ongoing, thousands died. Hope you are aware of that.
oh I just love this,the begining of everything,the script was beautifully written and the pace of the camera was perfect, we all got a sense of this family in less than four minutes.
Perfect, summary.
2:24 the way he flips that napkin though 👌🏾
I was so addicted to this show when I was younger. One of the first period dramas I got immersed into and binge-watched.
If you're a "Downton Abbey" fan you might also enjoy the earlier British TV series (1970's) "Upstairs Downstairs" which ran for a number of years, about the Bellamy family and their servants in the Belgravia part of London. One of the story lines involves Lady Bellamy being on the Titanic. I don't recall when the series begins but it ends shortly after the stock market crash of 1929. It's an excellent show. You may already be familiar with the TV series "The House of Elliott". I didn't plan to get hooked on a show about people starting and working in a couture business but I sure did! This is literally a costume drama of the 1920's, maybe extending into the 1930's.
@@andrewbrendan1579 I just saw this now but thank you for the recommendation! I'll look into it. There are few period dramas these days that capture my interest and it's disappointing since it's my favorite genre.
How it all began... ♡
This series is everything! It makes me cry, laugh and dream.
I just realized how Sybil haven't got her Debutante in the first episode, which is why she don't wear her hair up until her pant-dress scene where she's pressumably have her debutante.
Uh...that would be a good question. :-/
Debutantes in the early 20th century didnt necessarily dictate the hair up/down rule but it was something many people obviously abided by. In this episode, Sybil is 17 and (yes) didnt have her debut yet. However, this scene and the scene of the "granny" learning of Pamuk's death (when she is actually 18) are the only two scenes I know of where she wears her hair down. Most of the series though we see her with her hair up because it was common for many teens in this time period to wear their hair up. For my great-grandmother was born in 1901, she also wore her hair up often from about the time she was 6, and continued wearing it up her whole life.
The harem pants scene also occurred before she came out.
I believe she didn't debut until the season finale in season 1
@@MandieTerrier We never saw Sybil's debut, but yes, it seems like she came out prior to the season 1 finale, which would mean the summer of 1914.
2:42 Mentions of the Astors (JJ and Madeline), and then Lady Rothes (Countess of Rothes). Very nice touch to have the Crawleys know of a few notable passengers on the ship.
I'm old enough to recall the final scene of an episode of "Upstairs Downstairs" (the Downton Abbey of its time) that mentioned the Titanic. The episode involved the lady of the house and her servant getting ready to go on a sea voyage but the ship is never mentioned until the last scene which ends as the lord of the house dictates a telegram to be sent to "Lady Marjorie Bellamy, suite number XX, RMS Titanic". Great way to end the episode. Downton Abbey is basically a copy of Upstairs Downstairs.
Thank you for reminding me to watch it all over from the beginning again, it must have been 6 months since the last time I watched Downton Abbey ♡♡♡
I wish my breakfast was brought to me on a tray every morning.
Hire a maid/cook and your wish will become reality. :-)
flyboy152 You’d also need a husband, living or dead. Only married/widowed women were “allowed” to eat breakfast in their bedroom.
@@davidthaler7018 In Downton Abbey. But the OP was asking for it to happen to her these days.
Step one, buy a tray...
It would be nice, a bit lazy, but nice.
For anyone who doesn't understand why Downton is an abbey this is why - The reason it is called an abbey is that before the English reformation, these large houses were owned by monks and monastic orders. When King Henry VIII closed them down and turned England into a protestant country, these country houses were bought or given to Lords and Dukes and turned into country residences for them.
Correction. The EIGHT HUNDRED abbeys,monasteries,friaries and convents were suppressed by Henry 8th... they were then destroyed or spoiled. The monks,friars and nuns were turned out.Their stolen lands were then given to the kings favourites. ..who then built their grand houses. Gordon Carter. Adelaide. South Australia.
@@warrenfeatherstone3588 thank you for this truth telling! 🙏🏻 thank you!
Nope. Sorry, John. It was called "Downton Abbey because Julian Fellows is a huge fan of Ramsey Abbey. Downton Abbey is actually Highclere Castle, home of George Herbert, 5th Earl of Carnarvon and the sponsor of the excavation of King Tut's tomb. BTW, Highclere was seized in 1551 (4 years after the death of Henry VIII) by King Edward IV. The estate, dating from 749, was never an abbey, but was the residence of the Bishop of Winchester, until seized during the reformation in 1551.
@@maxsdad538 Hang on, I am not stupid. I know that a place called Downton Abbey doesn't exist and they filmed at Highclere Castle, a place which I have visited before. I was speaking about how some of these vast country mansions of the rich earls, lords, dukes etc are sometimes named with Abbey in their title, was down to King Henry VIII abolishing monasteries, and handing over their land and property to his rich lords.
Would make sense as there is a place near me which has the word Abbey in its name but doesn't have a church let alone a Abbey.
Downton Abbey AKA the best show ever made.
I love Downton Abbey but I am also enamored of Poldark. If you haven't seen it, please do!
I was obsessed with Titanic when my family started watching this show. I didn’t want to initially, but my father was like “Titanic is in it” so I agreed.
All I really remember now is the entire rest of the show and Matthews death utterly breaking me. One of the best period pieces ever!
Julian Fellows has a mini series about the Titanic
I love the concern for Mary lol because she could not care less 😂
She like well life goes on
The best English/British series I've ever watched and followed.
2:51 is literally the best line in the whole series
😭😭😭 thanks for reminding me why I love this show 💓💓💓😭😭
I miss this series.
So well done by such great professionals.
I didn't watch any single episode about Downton Abbey but i can say that they did an excellent job about the sinking of RMS Titanic. The scenario music and acting are all wonderful
Downton Abbey has the greatest opening of any television show, ever.
This is literally my Grandma's absolute favourite show. I've never watched it before myself, but she took the liberty of talking me through the entire plot of every series there's been, in detail, last time I went to visit her. There's not really much point in me watching it watching it at this stage... but she'll probably force me to next time I visit her.
Sounds like a great opportunity to spend some quality time with your grandma. And I don't think you'll regret watching Downton Abbey. It's a wonderful series.
Why not watch it? You might even like Downton Abbey. Someday if you're blessed, you might be a grandmother yourself, this could be good training.
@@murrayaronson3753 I actually did decide to start watching it since commenting that - and I was surprised to find it was actually better than I expected! I got weirdly into it - I'm halfway through season 2 already.
@@814912 I'm glad to hear that. Thanks for sharing.
I'm a middle-aged American man, primarily into science fiction. I never cared for anything like this series before. Nor much of anything produced by the BBC.
Yet, since I'd read about how popular this show was I decided to give it part of the 1st episode to explain itself to me and try to grab my interest.
I went into it not knowing anything about it. I assumed from the name that it was something about a Catholic or Church of England church...somewhere downtown...probably in London or some damn place, lol.
In other words I went into it cold, and fully expecting to hate it. And not even expecting to make it through the 1st episode.
Within the 1st episode it became like salty peanuts to me. And I raced through the rest of the show, which I think was still in season 4 or around there somewhere.
I was an addict after that. And remain so.
everytime I hear the music, I cry. This show changed me so much.
same
omg ! pure nostalgia ! A bit of a prelude to the movie this may
I miss them so much😭😭😭
*This series and the two films so far are incredible Downtown Abbey is absolutely beautiful! A favourite forever!*
You must tell Mary. She can’t hear it from anyone but you.
Mary: Oh, ok….well then. How long do I have to be in mourning?
My great-grandmother neighbour was on the Titanic. I never met my g-g but my nan grew up with the neighbours family and heard about their mother all the time, she in turn passed it on to me, tragic tale.
I've never watched this show. Now I need to do so.
Be careful, you will quickly become addicted as so many of us did 😉😊.
Started watching this with my daughter when she was little. Every Sunday on BBC. Then season two came out. Of course my mom was hooked by then too. So all three of us ladies are watching when hubby and my dad walk through. I don't even know which guy said what, but one sentence had all three of us shushing them🤣. And one was a toddler!.
The Dan LeBatard Show requires me so quote, "I Have a Child" every time the Titanic or Billy Zane is mentioned.
Never watched this show popped up recommend when watching some Titanic vids and clicked on but an old Dark Shadows fan. Never knew the 1991 revival series used the design of Highclere Castle for the Great Hall Interior of Collinwood in that show until now. Learn something new everyday.
Omg I haven't watched the first series for agesssssss!!

Unique is right.
@@reneebraxton1032 Not really unique. Quite similar to Upstairs Downstairs in the 1970s which was probalby the first show to have equal attention on the upper class and their servants

The good old days.
Danilo Castro depends who and where you are...
For the 1% life wasn't bad. For the top 1% of the top 1%... like the landed aristocracy, life was actually pretty good. For everybody else, life tended to be hard... and short. I'm no communist or egalitarian revolutionary. But anyone who looks back on that world as "the good old days" (unless their family was wealthy) has a seriously warped view of history.
@@jec1ny It's a psychological fact that humans in general tend to keep happy memories and discard/forget bad memories as much as they can. Add to that the exaggeration of both historians and artists and you find yourself admiring an age where child mortality was through the roof and average living quality meant having neither water nor heating in your 2-room hut for a family of 12.
@@jec1ny True but it wasn't any better anywhere else. In fact, it was probalby worse in many other countries, more poverty....
Can’t wait to see the movie!
When I started that show the first time I mostly did out of curiosity since Netlix recommented it after me finishing Anne with an E. The two things that imidately hooked me:
1. The accuracy of how the staff's everyday life is depicted (we had a pretty cool show back in the days in Germany of a bunch of folks living in a house like Downton for 8 weeks like they did in 1906. Downton imidately reminded me of that show)
and 2. Of all the things they could have started this story with they start with freaking Titanic - a tragedy I can't leave my fingers off since the day I watched the Cameron movie for the very first time.
What a way to start a show!
With all that has been written and said about Downton this stands out as a very powerful scene.
I really like how a highlights the weight of the tragedy of the Titanic. So many people died on that ship.
I love Downton Abbey! I don't like movie crowds so I'll just wait for the DVD. I may order it from the library again.
I borrowed season 2 or three from the library.
If you know someone with Amazon Prime, all 6 seasons of the show are available there. And I think the movie as well, or maybe it's on HBO Max.
“God help the poor devils below decks”
love that the cook makes kedgeree. it was a popular breakfast dish in those times.
Hate that that dish involves raisins.....
I eat kedgeree regularly, and for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner or supper. A delicious and versatile dish.
I watch the series over and over again. I’m probably on my fifth go through! I will be watching the second movie soon. I’m addicted to this show! I hope a third movie taking place in 1929 will be in the works, but somehow I doubt it.
The second movie was not a box office success - it did well, earning $92 million, but against a budget of $40 million, it was not counted as a success compared to the first movie which made $194 million box office with a budget close to just $20 million.
The Downton Abby storyline, the sinking of the Titanic, sending shockwaves through the house. Got series 1to 4 on DVDs
The opening chapter of Downton Abbey, the Titanic connection, sending shock waves through the house
First 3 seasons of Downton are so 👌🏻
yes season 4 wasn't terrible but it went downhill after that
Matthew & Mary were the show for me and I stopped watching at the end of s3.
Don’t really watch this show, but I do like of how they had the story start with the news of the Titanic.
This is the first bit of Downton Abbey I’ve ever seen! I must watch more. Should I start from the very beginning?
The resounding answer...YES!!!
THIS is the beginning.
Please start uploading clips again!
Funny thing is White Star line never claimed it was unsinkable, it was a coined headline that was very popular, the early days of going viral I guess
It was once again the newspapers and the journalists I think
It was one of White Star Lines employee who said in a magazine about Titanic while she was still being built that the ship was "practically unsinkable" and so it was over sensationalized till someone else said "Not God himself could sink this ship!"
but yeah white star lines never truly named the ship unsinkable. It was mostly the public opinion that named her so.
Downton Abbey is the only show that I've ever truly cared about
Superbly trained labrador!
Hugh Bonneville said that he had to put sausages in his pocket for the dog to follow him cause he wouldn’t listen
Always thought Patrick would suddenly reappear into Mary’s and Mathews life.
You might be thinking of 'Poldark'.
My God, this reminds me of the reactions after 9/11.
Amo Danton dublado
Sybil looks amazing in this scene, wow.
This was one of the greatest occasions Mr. Carson wore this tie
For those asking yes there is a Downton Movie due out in 2019 and the King and Queen are to visit Downton and Carson is back in his role as Butler.
Didn't know Carson was back as butler! I thought he could no longer do it because of palsy in his hands. What's Thomas ( who, last I knew, was butler) done to be sacked-I presume-and replaced by the man HE replaced? I've not seen the movie yet, btw...
Thomas is still butler in the movie. Carson comes to help organize things, but he never replaces Thomas.
I watch the first episode of Downton abbey, and it seems like everyone in just 6 seasons will change a lot, for example Mary and Edith look younger.
From the Edwardian Era to the Roaring 20s.
It's crazy how that as a massive tragedy, but today it's just kind of a historical event. :(
Following this entire thread I must say this: Lord Fellowes wrote a dramatic television series, not a documentary. Is every word historically accurate? No of course not. Were there Peers who treated their staff humanely, and as friends and part of the family? I'd like to think so. The British peerage was not a homogeneous lot who thought and acted the same.
This was a hugely successful series around the world, and a feature film followed. Obviously Lord Fellowes has some idea what people want to see. Again, this isn't a documentary.

"Why they iron the newspapers?" 🤔
I had that same question.
3:38 - This was a clever little bit here, as Americans pronounced the name "Rothes" differently to the British pronunciation. The Countess of Rothes was saved in a lifeboat, and indeed she was very well liked by passengers, with third class women in her boat comforted by her. She was not the stereotypical posh lady, far from it.
Boy, they REALLY toned down Mrs. Patmore's hair in later seasons. Wow! What a gorgeous show.
You’re not a true downton fanatic until you’ve watched it all the way thru at least 3 times- i’m on my 4th time now
God damn it that was a great show!!!
My great grandfather was 12 at the time of the sinking and my great grandmother ( his wife ) was 9 at the time! (on my fathers side)
This reminds me of others, especially RMS Empress of Ireland. May 29th 1914.
Both Andy and William received important news that got the plot rolling - William at the start of the show and Andy during the movie.
Oh damn this is literally the first 3 minutes of S1 Ep1!
Wow. I didn't realize the guy who plays Ian Fletcher on _W1A_ was also the dad on _Downton Abbey._
At 2.19. How ironic. This guy played in the film starring Kate winslet and di Caprio. He played cal's bullyboy right hand man!
oliver jumelle no, two different people... But the latter WAS in a different titanic movie in 1979.
@@Cassxowary really!?! They do have a striking resemblance
Cal's "man" was the iconic David Warner, known to most Americans for Star Trek 5 and 6 where he played a human and then a Klingon but looked identical in both roles. With the exception of the Mars bar sellotaped to his head in the Klingon role.
@@oliverjumelle Not to be rude, but there's barely any resemblance at all.
@@krashd He played 2nd-Class passenger Lawrence Beesley, an actual survivor who wrote a very lucid early account of the voyage, in the 1979 TV movie "SOS Titanic".
This seems like the last couple years of the upper class’s golden age. Life really was peaceful, and England seemed so buttoned-up and proud.
Thomas can't fight either? Too funny 😅
