Don't be embarrassed. You're not alone my friend, you're not alone. I could quote you the script just as, if not better than Julian Fellowes himself.

[@ebriggs3498]

What I loved about the scenes of the tourists in the house, was how little the family really knew about their estate! I suspect that was very true. They had all these portraits of the former earls and ladies and there was history behind all of the China, knickknacks, etc., but they didn’t know it because they had lived in that huge house all their lives and thought everyone lived like they did! It was rather sad! I’m glad that the current Earl of Caernarvon who owns Highclere Castle, the house used as Downton, knows and treasures his family’s history!

[@roweng.4245]

Gwen had determination and talent - but she also had a great deal of good luck, and considerable help from Lady Sybil. There were many others, equally talented, equally determined, who had no such good fortune.

I disagree-you make your own luck.Gwen had light,determination,and was dynamic.She PUSHED the boundries.She shared her dreams with Sybil and thankfully Sybil had the same mind and wanted to transform her life as well as Gwens by helping her!As you walk the way the way appears!Some people have to push and push for their dreams.

[@marinazagrai1623]

Bobby...Edith was the middle daughter, insignificant, less pretty than Mary or Sybill. All this is due to the make up and clothing she had to wear - the problem with her is she always fought with Mary. Sisterly relations (you can only understand that if as a woman have a sister that you didn't get along with)! She had to earn a better disposition when she decided to get out of Mary's shadow - thank goodness they lived when they did, because 20 yrs earlier she was supposed to be looking for a husband and nothing else! That was their world and after 1919 (with the vote) they were able to get out and do something worthwhile.

[@OzmaOfOzz]

I hated her hair. It was so unflattering and she didn't change it when the 20s hit. She had the same hair throughout the series 🤦‍♀️ I know it was a wig but they could have chosen a better one at some point...

Faccio di nuovo o miei complimenti al signor Fellowes... dall'alto dei miei 59 anni mi permetto d' affermare che sia stata una delle migliori serie televisive di sempre. Ad oggi non so ancora determinare quale dei personaggi di tutto il recitato compreso i due film e sia il migliore....(Sig.ra Maggie Smith a parte) ha solo individuato l' episodio preferito (forse ho già visto una decina di volte tutto ) e credo sia l'ottavo episodio delle terze serie...ma in generale la delicatezza di come sono trattati tutti gli argomenti presi in considerazione nella serie la silente e arguta giustizia con cui vengono puniti tutti i personaggi dei loro risvolti peggiori ed infine lei la granduchessa con il suo lungo sguardo e la sua arguzia nonché alla fine il suo vivere nonostante tutto da generico umano. Grazie ancora signor Fellowes!!

If an opportunity is presented, grab it. Do Not hesitate. Fear is one's WORST enemy.

My dad had left his stable, well paying government job in order to move into a city, so that I could have a good education. At the time of his leaving, every one of his colleagues, even his own family and my mother's family had told him that he was making a grave mistake. Now, I have managed to go farther in life, than the children of his friends who had stayed back in the tea estate. Now, the very people who had once snubbed at my father for being a mere private accountant, are jealous of the way our family has prospered. Take the chances which are made available to you. Don't wait sitting around for some divine providence to come your way.

Having binge watched this series again, my first time view was that Mary was the bitch and screwed over Edith. However, my second viewing changed my opinion, I think Edith was the bitch and was very jealous of Mary and worked to screw her over (she nearly ruined over the pumuk incident). I also observed Edith's jealousy may have started over the first heir to downton, Patrick (who died on the Titanic) as I think Edith was in love with him and he was earmarked for Mary and Mary didn't even want him.

[@tompahdea9263]

My friend in the 80s had a brother that liked to enjoy his long holidays as if back home so he bought into a share of a manor house that was quartered with a great look over a huge valley in the Cottswolds that didn't have much to loose as the lawn in the front of the house was separated from the outlaying pasture by a ha ha or ya ya, one of those ditches from the high side you would not even notice until you fell over the descended portion from the approach. When I did my semester abroad I looked at their furniture and found with the china that they had taken the sugarspoon from their mother's sterling set. Don't know how long they enjoyed it as my friend was gone by the time he was 71 and his brother was in much worse health and a good 7 yrs older. I wonder of the otherside of the road driving di him in as one of the other students in my group had planned to visit his son in the program and before i knew it the parents after starting out their driving portion of their visit in the cotswolds had returned after an unfortunate incident driving. He probably was on the wrong roadside?

[@Xfranman]

The series was, in many features, a more reserved Brideshead Revisited though more contained. But the art of it was the perfect casting to fit the incredible writing framed by the expertise of Maj- Gen. Hon Alistair Bruce of Crionaich whose real life involvement with Her Majesty, the late bereaved Queen, of happy memory, placed him in a unique position to authenticate the fine authorship of Lord Fellowes who daily rubbed elbows with aristocracy.

WW1, Universal suffrage and 1929 had significant impact. But it was WW2 and the unexpected maintenance of war time tax levels into post war (to fund the Welfare state, NHS and war debt) that finally ended the means to run a large stately home as a family home. Full employment also meant rising pay and a large staff was impossible to find or finance. Most owners also had Edwardian values, that thought tax avoidance to be immoral: The ones that did not are the ones whose fortunes survive today. Houses appropriated during WW2 were not often returned in good condition, needing significant rennovation and repairs. Few realise quite how extreme post war austerity was, which lasted until 1950s.

11:10 - Interesting comment regarding wedding. The end for some.

Ironically these big houses are now making more monies than the plot of lands the other lords demolish their houses for 😂

[@AlexS-oj8qf]

@Kuchi Kopi Most of these houses were in the middle of nowhere, it's technically a plantation, a farm house. The land doesn't worth as much because there's no high demand in housing around the area, especially when you happens to lived in Midlands or Yorkshire area. Many lords demolish their house to avoid paying taxes that's implemented later by the Labor Government, more than often they simple remove the roof because demolition cost more than it's worth.

Kuchi Kopi in the 1950's grand houses like this were being demolished at the rate of two a week. We lost hundreds of beautiful stately homes. Primarily it was due to labour governments increasing taxes for the "wealthy" to eye watering levels, and death duties finished off many big houses. Others barely survived by selling land, furniture etc. Many were handed to the government to use as hospitals, schools etc and have since been left to rot. Whatever your thoughts on the aristocracy, they did at least maintain the historic buildings of this nation for hundreds of years, at no cost to the taxpayer.

@@spencerwilton5831 "at no cost to the taxpayer." Obviously they worked full time to make the amount of money to maintain the house and never explored the work of others, by lets say lend them money, properties, land etc at an extorcionary amount of money and interests. Yeah they deserved it because they've worked their butts off, meritocracy works!

Spencer Wilton No loss to anyone except the owner. Ain’t no “we” How did the 1% of the 1% convince everyone that these ostentatious mega mansions were “national heritage”? Only when they needed our money was that the case 😂

[@AlexS-oj8qf]

@@tfh5575 Actually a lot of historically significant treasure such as paintings, statues, and a lot of other art objects were lost during that era, many purchased by rich Americans and ended up in American Museums, stuff that otherwise could decorate Britain's Museum and attract tourist.

"The Lady Mary Tudor" was she named after QM1?

[@harringt100]

Who played the little boy at 1:40? He looks so familiar, but I can't seem to place him.

[@Amandine951]

As far as I remember, Thomas had no success in his hunts at Downton Abbey .....

[@StarOnTheWater]

Who would have thought this was produced by Ed Sheehan?

[@mol9842]

What?

[@philsarkol6443]

What I like most is not so much the differences between upstairs and downstairs rather than the things they share. The women are looking for more equality and freedom to choose their path in life. The men are trying to cope with an everchanging post great -war period that is shaking up the powerstructures, where women are more and more of influence. This historical accuracy in social devellopment that is within the storyline, is to be applauded, and is one of the many contributions to the succses of the series. Downton Abbey just hits the mark on so many levels!

14:13, but what the hell are they doing throwing CONFETTI at the couple? Rice, man; RICE!

[@FavreianVengeance]

Thank Goodness, Robert doesn't have to call her Mrs. Carson.

[@michaelmurphy5916]

I haven't keep up. What happened to Daisy inheritance of William's father's farm?

[@meinachance4696]

Does anyone know the name of the music at the beginning of this scene?

[@frankclarke6624]

Men supply muscle mass and DNA. Women create civilization.

[@OmgAuntySuzanne16]
