Thumbs up Downton Abbey
Has this already aired in the USA?

It's only just started here in Australia. It is absolutely delicious.

Makes me wish I had studied set design instead of what I did study. So beautifully set and filmed.

Tonight's quote for me was... "We all have parts to play Matthew, and we all must be allowed to play them". Maybe it's the English in me. Loving it.

Yes, we have this on PBS stations here. It is also offered OnDemand with some cable.

We watched some of this season, on a recommendation of a friend.

It IS very very good. Very realistic and good scripts etc. The acting is also very professional and elegant. A very satisfying view IMO.

Shirley MacLaine is going to be on next season... they are filming it
already, and news items are coming out now about it.

Shirley MacLaine? My heroine. In old England?

I'm not so sure about the acting and all the rest so far but I have an eye for period decoration and costuming. I wish I'd followed my dreams in that direction early in my life.

Thanks for posting that. She's quite wonderful!

I'm starting to think that the character Shirley Maclaine plays may be the Aunt/Great Aunt in the USA. Just guessing of course. Maybe Mary does go abroad and stay with her.

They're replaying the first series here as a catch up so the 2nd series must begin soon. I look forward to it. Hope it's not on too late though.

I love the show too Lara but with Series 2 about to start in Australia, we're going to have to wait to see Shirley MacLaine because she doesn't join the cast until Series 3.

Quote:
... set during the Roaring Twenties. The series will open in 1920 and cover eighteen months.......
Academy Award-winning American actress Shirley MacLaine will join the cast as Martha Levinson, Cora's mother.....
Wiki : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downton_Abbey#Main_cast

From what I can work out, series 2 covers the war years and ends with a Christmas special. They may even be a wedding on the horizon

I'm thoroughly enjoying Downton Abbey. Watching or reading anything about Great Britain, especially during both World Wars is fascinating for me. I'm so glad you're getting a chance to see this fabulous program.
