Full of intrigue. Did anyone else watch? I am so excited for the grand finale next week. If you all were near me we could have a party with drinks served on a silver tray. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-downton-abbey#post-285254 Mon, 24 Jan 2011 18:36:25 +0000 Patty 285254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I read about Downton Abbey about a month ago--found it on Youtube-(in chunks but good!) and sat and watched the whole series in one go at my kitchen table--soo good! And twisty turney too!! Can't wait for season 2! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-downton-abbey#post-284630 Sun, 23 Jan 2011 04:55:58 +0000 anne 284630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just wanted to chime in here to thank Fi for her recommendation of the Kings Speech. Because you had mentioned it here I chose it to watch with DH for our anniversary dinner and movie night out last week. We both really enjoyed it . Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-downton-abbey#post-284556 Sun, 23 Jan 2011 02:09:45 +0000 Kari 284556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, I'm watching them all online too, since I don't have a TV. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-downton-abbey#post-284540 Sun, 23 Jan 2011 01:15:18 +0000 Laura 284540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Turkish guy??

Do not tease! (Love your outfit, BTW)</p> <p>Laura, get yourself over to PBS. We can't do justice in a mere description. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-downton-abbey#post-284499 Sat, 22 Jan 2011 23:29:43 +0000 tarzy 284499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura - nothing much happened. Oh, wait - there was the the hunky Turkish guy in Mary's bed ...</p> <p>(Go watch the episode!!!!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-downton-abbey#post-284494 Sat, 22 Jan 2011 23:17:21 +0000 Beth 284494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no, Laura! Quite a bit happened that you missed:/</p> <p>I think PBS has the episodes available for viewing on their website so maybe you can catch up.</p> <p>Edit: Here you go:<br /> <a href="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/watch/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/master.....index.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-downton-abbey#post-284491 Sat, 22 Jan 2011 23:08:32 +0000 Laura 284491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I missed last week! Can anyone give me a quick synopsis? Will I be completely lost tomorrow night? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-downton-abbey#post-284472 Sat, 22 Jan 2011 22:05:34 +0000 Kari 284472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tara, I love your Downton Abbey-inspired outfit. The equestrian-style jacket is fabulous!</p> <p>My mom and I are really enjoying the show together. Maggie Smith just cracks me up. "What is a week end?" Hehehe. It sounds like she is a pretty feisty/fun lady behind the scenes, too.</p> <p>I also love the dialogue when she first meets Mrs. Crawley:<br /> "What should we call each other?"<br /> "Well, we could always start with Mrs. Crawley and Lady Grantham." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-downton-abbey#post-278258 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 01:00:31 +0000 Beth 278258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just loved it. But then, I've been a Masterpiece Theater nerd since I was 10:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-downton-abbey#post-278257 Tue, 11 Jan 2011 01:00:24 +0000 tarzy 278257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why yes - I did watch. And today, I felt compelled to dress like this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-downton-abbey#post-278216 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 23:40:34 +0000 judy 278216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loved it too! </p> <p>Thanks for the reminder, Tara, and for the heads up about the new Upstairs Downstairs, Diana. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-downton-abbey#post-278156 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 22:37:56 +0000 Laura 278156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, "what is a week-end?" was classic! I don't know how she said that line without cracking up.</p> <p>Loved it, loved the intrigue, the setting, the Titanic timeframe, the doublecrossing household servants - everything! Even my kids were watching it ... until Thomas wound up making out with ummm, what's his name, the nosy potential "suitor" for Mary. Then the channel mysteriously changed until the kids were ushered upstairs for bedtime ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-downton-abbey#post-278133 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 22:11:53 +0000 Diana 278133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I watched this last night and really enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to seeing the remaining episodes. Loved Maggie Smith (my favorite line was "what is a weekend?").</p> <p>BTW, the new Upstairs Downstairs will be on PBS in April. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-downton-abbey#post-278128 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 22:03:26 +0000 Debora 278128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Tara! I watched this last night and loved the period setting, plot and intrigue. Did anyone else see it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-downton-abbey#post-277476 Sun, 09 Jan 2011 22:44:41 +0000 April 277476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh -- thanks, Tara! This is the sort of thing I love, though I'm not sure I can stay up until 11:00... how pathetic is that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-downton-abbey#post-277336 Sun, 09 Jan 2011 17:33:36 +0000 judy 277336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just find out about this on Friday, and I'm recording it and watching for sure. </p> <p>LOVED the old 70's Upstairs Downstairs....and before that, the Forsyte Saga (series 1) : <a href="http://www.ceejbot.com/EricPorter/Forsyte/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ceejbot.com/EricPorter/Forsyte/</a> </p> <p> Haven't seen either since, I wonder if they would seem dated now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-downton-abbey#post-277258 Sun, 09 Jan 2011 12:14:52 +0000 Laura 277258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, must see TV for anglophiles like myself! Thanks for letting us know, Tara. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-downton-abbey#post-277238 Sun, 09 Jan 2011 08:27:54 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 277238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Downton Abbey was wonderful - love Maggie Smith!</p> <p>The new Upstairs Downstairs is set in the period just before WWII broke out in Europe and around the time that King Edward VIII abdicated. It was only 3 episodes and I really enjoyed it too.</p> <p>You may also be interested in seeing The King's Speech. I saw it last night and it was fantastic. Colin Firth is fantastic and there are actually some very funny moments in it! I can completely understand the Oscar buzz, it is a very subtle film and is beautifully shot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-downton-abbey#post-277083 Sun, 09 Jan 2011 00:51:38 +0000 Kari 277083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yay! I didn't know this was coming to PBS. (I don't have a TV.) I've heard wonderful things about the series, though. Thanks for the heads up.<br /> Hooray for PBS for putting the episode online for those of us who are internet-only TV watchers. Although I think the cardio machines at my gym have PBS, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-downton-abbey#post-277041 Sat, 08 Jan 2011 23:52:23 +0000 anne 277041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Will watch for this coming to Aus. My sister gave me the complete set of the old Upstairs Downstairs for Christmas and my birthday last year. I watched it over the whole year. Seriously one of the best presents I have every been given! (I had missed quite a lot when it was on TV in the 90s)<br /> And I have been checking out an Upstairs Downstairs web page so I knew about the new one though didn't realise it had actually started airing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-downton-abbey#post-276989 Sat, 08 Jan 2011 22:35:43 +0000 Louise 276989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We got this last year on the UK, I haven't watched it myself but I know mum loved it. Did you know we (UK) had a new version of upstairs downsatirs on over Christmas? It was fabulous and I've put the DVD on my birthday list hope it makes it's way over to the US for you x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-downton-abbey#post-276918 Sat, 08 Jan 2011 19:27:09 +0000 Beth 276918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, I'll be watching, too:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-downton-abbey#post-276917 Sat, 08 Jan 2011 19:26:02 +0000 tarzy 276917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know there are quite a few fans here of this type of show (in the vein of "Cranford," "Upstairs, Downstairs," etc.) I know I'll be watching!</p> <p><a href="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/downtonabbey/index.html?gclid=CJf5-oqqq6YCFQQPbAod8RNZoA" rel="nofollow">http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/master.....bAod8RNZoA</a> </p>
