Downton Abbey - Making - Extended Interviews

[@66jediknight]

It's 2021, who thinks there should be more episodes of Downton Abbey made?

[@STSGuitar16]

I would absolutely LOVE to see a season 7 of the show, but something just tells me it wouldn't work. Presumably, it would need to take place at a point in time where all the children are older (George has grown up, Sybbie and Marigold, too), which would mean starting over from the beginning again. But idk, I do think there are so many potentially awesome storylines between Matthew and Mary that really weren't explored that much while he was alive. I think we all would love to see more of that era of Downton. Nothing against the later seasons, but the earlier ones had some magic to them that kinda faded away in the later seasons. Nevertheless, I'd love to see more of the season 3 era stuff.

[@ericseabury3968]

I’m on Season 3 and just watched Sybil’s death. Holy hell, what a powerful scene. That was emotional.

[@joehanneedenbergnielsen7244]

[@michaelheath5615]

I love how the Dowager ALWAYS turns to Carson to back her up when she disapproves of something, and he ALWAYS does. Like the cocktails: "They look a bit exciting for so early in the evening. Don't you agree, Carson?" "Better avoided, Milady." "Yes... I think so."

[@dajw7540]

Maggie Smith’s performance was magic. The Dowager Countess of Grantham was the most marvelous character ever. I was thrilled and mesmerized by her.

+Random Maybe THAT'S the real reason she never wanted to watch herself:-)

[@gameXylinder]

3:22 I love this moment so much. Imagine not only meeting your hero, but working with them on a daily basis! Penelope seems so genuine in her praise, and I'm sure it does mean a lot to Maggie as I imagine they both respect each other and their craft greatly.

Buckets! No kidding. Watching all episodes from start to finish and thoroughly enjoying it without the long gaps .......but I think I cry more easily now that I am older. Love the wonderful characters and caustic lines!

[@lindabroussard7305]

Phyllis Logan, she's brilliant. Every time I see an interview of her in real life, I'm amazed by how she doesn't resemble "Mrs. Hughes" at all. It's not the hair and make-up -- it's her ability as an actor which turns her into Mrs. Hughes. All the actors are great. I am such a fan, such quality acting, cannot think of another television program which comes close.

[@kellinepickett4979]

I'm addicted to Downton. Where I live it comes on at 9 p.m. every Sunday night and I'll break my neck falling over chairs just to get to it on time.

[@tammylewis9324]

I thought all of the actors did a great job. Mrs Patmore and Thomas were my favorite characters but as far as acting Penelope was the one actress that I could not separate her character from her true self. Her character acting was so on point that I could not imagine that she lives in the present and has a current life. I could not imagine her being anywhere except Downton. It’s a very weird feeling. Maybe in a past life she was.......?

[@jaiga15]

awww i looove seeing evil characters being all smiley and nice offset :D

[@2772ruby]

I have watched the series 6 times. So many tears have been shed, so many times I’ve laughed. I wish there were more episodes. Brilliant show.

[@jameslovesalaska]

Nothing like British Period Dramas. We lived in the UK during the 70's and I remember watching Upstairs Downstairs with my parents, that's when I got hooked.

[@downtoncatbey8596]

That’s so interesting to hear! I’m currently rewatching all of it! I mean, with a name like mine, I obviously love it. 😹 It’s much needed during this time, along with humor!

[@missharrington4452]

I've come to Downton late, and slowly worked my way through 6 Series and fell in love with the complex characters, the acting, the whole thing. What I love about this is all the actors seem so genuinely humble and collaborative and understanding of their role in such a brilliant piece. Great to watch this. :)

[@mattcattxxx]

i love how Thomas and O'brien seem to get on as well as and be as mischievous as they are on camera as well as of it :)

[@ellietaccetta6088]

The deaths of Sybil and Matthew were the only things I didn't like about this series.

[@WondrousEarth]

They were such tragic events, with the death of Sybil all of the cast members were stunned by the intensity of this scene and its effect on them. I too felt so sad when Matthew, in his moment of pure happiness, had the accident which he did.

[@YTUse601]

@@WondrousEarth The death of Sybil is one of the most well-acted death scenes I've ever seen. It was raw and not overdone, I think helped by the lack of any dramatic soundtrack. You just felt all the air get sucked out of the room. Elizabeth McGovern and Allen Leech did an amazing job.

[@snodrod420]

It almost stopped my wife and i from continuing passed season 3 lol

[@kittybitts9530]

@@YTUse601 it also looked like a real death scene. When William died his eyes were closed and his mouth was closed. I've been a nurse for almost 30 years now. I've seen a lot of people die. They usually have their eyes at least partly open, or one eye open and one mostly shut, and their mouth falls open because their muscles relax. Sybil looked like a woman having a post partum convulsion, and she was pale and dusky after she died, her mouth was open and her eyes didn't close. She really looked like she had died.

[@WondrousEarth]

Grazie, Gabriella, that is so good to hear!! I agree that the people playing the parts get along very well, and as you, I admire Maggie Smith. She has such a good sense of humor and is the one character in Downton who consistently says something witty, and due to her position in the family she can 'get away with it' :)) I wonder if this is one reason she was selected because of her gift with humor? *.* Tim :)

[@KizzyLou88]

Why is Siobhan so naughty though 🤣 She's like a big kid and i bloody LOVE her for it! 😍 She's literally the polar opposite to O'Brien which only shows how incredible her talent is! I love Downt9n and i love behind the scenes things so this was incredible to watch xxx

The fashions constitute a star of the show as well, in my opinion. I particularly liked the roaring 20s dresses in later series.

This is right about Downton Abbey, Diane, as it does show the human side of all characters. I like that Hugh Bonneville, who is lord, says that there is a mutual respect between the owners and the servants, that one could not really live without the other in the society of that time.

sam mortazavi Sam, I was unsure about this so checked on TVLine, which states 'Downton Abbey‘s doors will remain open for another year. Brit broadcaster ITV has ordered a fifth season of the international phenom, to bow next fall in the UK and (presumably and unfortunately) January 2015 in the US on PBS.' So far as I know, it is season 4 which starts in the U.S. in January 2014.
