So I came across and devoured this brilliant series in two days. It is A-MAZING and with season two only a few days away, who else is excited?!

For those unfamiliar, it's set in 1912 (and the years that follow) and was created by Julian Fellowes who wrote the brilliant Gosford Park.

Here's the trailer for series 1:

And for those interested, here's the trailer for series 2:

Excitement.

Was giving up hope of ever again seeing anything as brilliant on TV as Brideshead Revisited or The Jewel In The Crown....and then along comes Downtown Abbey. Couldn't agree more.... amazing!
 
Downton Abbey is amazing. If you are interested in that genre, you might also want to try Upstairs Downstairs...

It's quite lazy of me but I've had it sitting on my shelf for a while and just haven't got round to it! Upstairs, Downstairs, that is.

I have seen Brideshead Revisited though, both the one with Jeremy Irons and the newer film. Both very good. I always feel so bad for Sebastian Flyte. Never like Charles. Ever.

is it playing that soon in the US?

According to Wiki, it played on PBS in January 2011. You can get it for cheap on DVD. Check out Amazon... especially the UK site which has it for something ridiculous like £8.

It's worth the buy.

Love, love, LOVE Downton Abbey and can't wait for the new season to start. `Upstairs..' is another all-time fave that I re-vist, and one other you're likely to delight in is The Duchess of Duke Street, my # 1 series ever, ahead of both Forsyte Sagas ....
 
I can't wait for this to come back. I fell in love with it earlier this year.
 
Downton Abbey was really good...totally worthwhile watching! I'm looking forward to season 2 which is airing in January on PBS. According to their website, Season 1 will air again starting December 18th, 2011...as a prelude to start of season 2.

They used to have full episodes of it on their website..no longer.

The entire first season is on Netflix and you can stream it.
 
I downloaded it from iTunes last year - great show, very well made and produced.

They started Series 1 with the sinking of the Titanic and ended with the outbreak of the First World War.

Can't wait for Series 2!


P.S. I love the theme music....

That's an awfully long time to wait, given that the UK is premiering the second series on 18 September, with the DVDs scheduled to be released on 7 November (the day after airing of the last episode.)

I must say, the US schedule is likely to be earlier than the Australian schedule. We didn't get series 1 until May 2011!!!!

ah....memories of hot Thomas and the Duke are coming back to me... :)

spoiler from part 1 if you haven't watched- DON'T READ

since Thomas was leaving the house/about to get fired...any word if his character will be in the series???
Click to expand...

IMDB lists Rob James-Collier who played Thomas as appearing in 15 episodes so I gather that he'll be in every episode of series 2.
 
I adore Downton Abbey. Dame Maggie Smith has all the best lines.

I'm really glad no-one has come in here and said "I hate Downton Abbey because it makes gay people look like villians" because of Thomas but I always really understood where he's coming from.

He's not a nice guy but that's because he hasn't been treated nicely. So his logic is, screw you if the world is going to hate me unreasonably then I will hate it twice as much.

WOW- it's 15 episode???!!! They seem to be going back to the Masterpiece heydays of long series- Brideshead, Claudius, Upstairs/Downstairs....anyone else thing the 'Downton' Abbey title is a play on Upstairs/Downstairs?

I should have clarified, its 15 episodes in total. That's 7 episodes in series 1 and 8 episodes in series 2.

I didn't nearly hate Thomas as much as I did O'Brien. I couldn't fathom what bond they had with each other but she fed so much of what Thomas did!!

These were hysterical! :lol:

Jennifer Saunders, Joanna Lumley, Kim Cattrall, and a few other recognizable faces whose names escape me...really brilliant cast!

I hope this ensemble continues with the parodies of next season.

:)
 
Dame Maggie has won an Emmy for her role on Downton Abbey. Extremely well-deserved, I say!

HUZZAH!!

Ha, I never would have known it was Kim Cattrall if you hadn't said something.

Carter is so gross in that lol
 
^ I didn't recognise Cattrall either until she mentioned Sex and the City. Haha.

Also, Downton won the Emmy for Best Mini-Series. YAY!!

Very exciting.
