Downton Abbey

maybe I didn't think you knew because you keep calling it Gosforth Park....not Gosford....

My bad. Gosford Park was 10 years or more ago. But the fact that Downton and Gosford have the same writer isn't relevant to what I was saying, which is, in essence, that the Downton doesn't have the weight or context of Gosford.

To pick up on one or two of the other posts, I'm not even saying that it should, if people like it for what it is.

But it then stays at a less ambitious level of costume melodrama, rather than more impactful drama.

Because the writing is, to at least to me, so far one dimensional, I don't really care about the marital fortunes of the girls in the same way that one does in say, Jane Austen. It is just romantic escapism, whereas it could have been that and then some.

The other thing that occurs to me is that, despite dealing with a gay character, Downton is short on good looking guys, which is never a good thing.

favorite moments...have to agree- Maggie Smith's 'What's a weekend' was priceless- she had all the funny lines, really....when she was in the swivel chair at Matthew's office- 'i was always a good sailor...' once she got her balance....hot Turk, Kemal Parmuk and the goregous hairy chest of the Duke....neither of them are listed on the IMBD page- anyone know who played them????

The Duke of Crowborough is played by Charlie Cox; Ottoman Empire embassy attache Kemal Pamuk is played by Theo James.

Which, ironically, is one of the more natural, realistic aspects of the show.
I don't think the polished "Playgirl"-type models are suitable for this particular ensemble (although Theo James as Mr. Pamuk came pretty close!).
Besides, the real hot actors are more suitable for shows with nudity in it, like Spartacus, OZ, Footballer's Wives and True Blood.

However (to contradict myself here) I do hope Henry Cavill will join the cast in future episodes since I had a big crush on him when he played Charles Branson in The Tudors.

Finally, may I suggest the movie "Up The Aristocracy", featuring The Ultimate Gayporn Couple, Daniel & Pedro? Some of the cumshots are very compelling and impactful and will certainly get you glued to the screen:badgrin:

LOL. I don't think one needs to go that far. But, just as an aside, it would be a pleasant surprise, if they showed a constructive gay relationship (I'm sure there must have been one or two during the period, despite the legal prohibitions). As it is, being gay is just associated with being a defective character. Who'd have thunk it?

I've been on vacation and just got to see this.

Ram, thanks so much for posting it.

I thought last year's Red Nose mashup/satire of Coronation Street and Eastenders was the funniest thing I'd ever seen, but these sketches are sensational. Jennifer Saunders as Dame Maggie Smith - hilarious.

The budget for this must have been phenominal by British TV standards.

Was Dawn French the cook? She had no lines, but I would think she'd be part of something like this.

And Simon Callow (it was him wasn't it?) as Julian Fellowes, Mr. Pomposity personified, was magnificent.

I know I've seen many of the others in British TV programs and films. Is there a list anywhere of who played whom?

Anyway, thanks again Ram. This was just a spectacular satire of both the plot and the backstage elements of Downton Abbey.
 
My favourite line and it's probably true to the days when workers worked a six day week and Sunday was the Sabbath.

 
^^She doesn't know what a week-end is because every day is the "week-end" for her. She lives a live of luxury and every day is just like any other.
 
Poor Matthew... I wonder if his cock is as beautiful as his eyes... such a shame it will never function correctly... ever again.

Yeah, thatgirl! Join the awesome club for awesome people in love with this awesome show.
 
My biggest pet peeve about this show is that the most boring, god awful storylines take up like 90 % of the episodes.. Sybil and Branson are definitely the most interesting AND most popular couple on the show. They have the most fan made music vids on yt too.. lol. Sybil is such a great character, an empowered woman, which was very unusual back then, especially in the upper class. Also, Branson has such an interesting history too.

Anyway, back to my point.. Mary and Matthew bore me to tears, and they get 90 % of the screen time every episode, while Sybil and Matthew, who are both much more more interesting, either alone or together got a whole of 1 minute screen time last episode. It pisses me off. I also love O'Brien and Thomas, and what they get up to together, yes, they are kinda mean, but at least they make the show more exciting, they also only get a few svcenes each episode. And I also think Thomas needs a bf soon.

OK, sorry about that.. rant over now, lol. To sum it up: not enough Branson, Sybil, Thomas and O'Brien.. too much Mary and Matthew.
