Down On One Knee: Every Downton Abbey Proposal | Part 2 | Downton Abbey

[@12classics39]

I love how Mr. Carson doesn’t go over-the-top with his proposal. That’s not his way and it’s not Mrs. Hughes’ way. It’s just a special quiet moment of honesty and rare vulnerability from him.

[@NurseSue425]

When Mrs Patmore say “ Blimey, he puts a lot in a letter”. I cracked up.

[@librarybeasts3344]

I literally laughed out loud. 😂

[@ockmf]

Oh how I love Downton Abbey. Admit I've watched the entire series nearly a dozen times.

[@northernpianomusic]

Yes. Same here. Favorite go to series. ❤

[@Robert08010]

Your bucking for my record on Star Trek!!! Is ther esuch a thing as a "Downtonie" like trekie?

[@jilledmondson6894]

I just stated again from the beginning. Such a wonderful and relatable show.

[@Agnoletta]

At this point, depending on what “feels” I need, I pick out an episode and I’m good! ❤️

[@echoesofwar]

When Mrs Hughes says, "I thought you'd never ask"

[@amethystanne4586]

I so agree. They worked together all that time, and have romance bloom so slowly and deeply.

[@12classics39]

Their chemistry is wonderful. They have so many little moments throughout the show that build and build and make the proposal not only satisfying but just plain fitting.

[@Shakespearelover1717]

But wasn’t it hilarious when it hit Mrs. Hughes what total marriage was all about and she sends Mrs. Patmore to deal with Carson??

[@amethystanne4586]

@@Shakespearelover1717 Mrs. Patmore acted like a true friend to the both of them. She chose her words very carefully. I can almost feel my own cheeks blush every time I watch this portion of the episode. For that time period, “marital bliss”, as a phrase, would have been too risqué.

[@Shakespearelover1717]

[@Gwantsa368]

Lord Merton wins the proposal of all proposals ❤

[@bhavanithillai]

Totally 💯 Agree 👏

[@Robert08010]

@13:00 "I thought you'd never ask!" Gets me every time.

[@JJSparxx]

I love the proposal scene between Mr. Carson and Mrs. Hughes. It's simple, cute and sweet.

[@feg3akatrey144]

Perhaps being single in my mid-50s makes me extra-nostalgic about the Merton/Isobel and Carson/Hughes proposals… it’s never too late in our relatively short lives to find a partner who completes us. We all just want to feel wanted/needed and loved, and it CAN happen later in life. What a wonderful takeaway from those two scenes ❤

[@deolindamendoza5102]

I got married at 46 and I wasn't thinking about it. It just happen

[@margareteplaetzer3127]

Weii in my 70's still single. All I can say is hooray

[@sunflowerz54]

One of my favorite series of all time !! A Masterpiece

[@PernellHillMinisterP]

Lord Merton! Wow, what a proposal!

[@GuardinBabe]

Lord Merton knew what he wanted and boy oh boy did he get it!! lol

[@P.MoMoney61]

His response to being "kidnapped into marriage" with Isobel in the series finale is my favorite scene.

[@phyllishannah7203]

Lôve Downton Abbey ❤truly. Could watch over and over again forever ❤

[@pamelafaerye7941]

Her: "You've done a very good job of living without me lately" Him: "I've done a very bad job" Me: *snatches up a hankie*

[@nicolasdiez7688]

Isobel got the biggest price, Lord Melton's proposal was the best

[@houseoftyrell1544]

I was really rooting Marry and Lord Gillinghan, it's so disappointing of her but he's too good for her anyway. Glad to see Isobel end up with Lord Merton and no longer all alone, also Mr Carson and Mrs Hughes. What a good writing to involve middle age and elderly still can find love and happiness in relationships.

[@12classics39]

“He’s dead and I’m alive” - Lord Gillingham says about the love of Mary’s life who died in a sudden tragic accident less than a year prior. Too good for her? I don’t think so.

[@annkynaston3605]

All we need is for Mrs Padmore and Mr Mason to get together.

Lord Merton is so nice..

[@jessicab2202]

This was such fun to watch, thank you! I was a bit disappointed that you didn’t include Carson’s line after seeing Mary and Henry, ‘Give it a moment, James. Give it a moment.’ So delightful!

[@jacquelineadams8363]

I loved Bertie's personality for Edith. Such a sweet, communicative man. He was so perfect.

[@amethystanne4586]

Starting at about 6:24 ……. I loved this. How romantic!

[@arleen1011]

I love Edith’s entire story line, through all of the ups and downs. In the end Edith triumphs 🎉❤❤❤

[@Peppi94]

Well, that was a whole lotta Downton goodness!!!

[@camerong5513]

the loves scenes are touching

[@keeshiabrie]

I’m excited for the third film! I hope we see more of Mary and Henry’s marriage ☺️

[@Stepniki]

I have a feeling they've broken up or will. The actor was only available for a small portion of the last movie

[@merrylmarsh9037]

Love Edith and Bertie. Such a sweet, gentle couple.

[@TheBeliever1204]

You go Mrs Merton!

[@kiskatalin2206]

I loved this film every minute

[@abebabeyene6779]

I love this show so much I adore each character👮‍♀️

[@TheBeliever1204]

Lord Merton so gentile. Why cant modern men be like that

[@norahdenovan8658]

I always thought Lord Gillingham was drop dead gorgeous

[@raraavis7782]

Indeed. Such a handsome man. And smart and kind and well-mannered at that. I can't believe Mary turned him down 😭

[@FranM-m5y]

I am an American and I love Downton Abbey

[@nicolasdiez7688]

18:15 well, that doesn't quite forgives what she did to Edith, but still a good move to show she regretted for what she did to her sister

[@TheBeliever1204]

Awh their live story is lovely

[@bkzone8]

Carson and Mrs. Hughes! ❤❤

[@MilotheShrike]

I know they dont end up together, but tonys proposel was so earnest and true. I hope i get something as sweet.

[@SerenaOkoli]

Edith's attitude with men is the classic result of a child overlooked by parents and not given sufficient attention but let sibling put them down. Easily involved with older men to heal the father wound and easily falls into physical touch/ pre-marital affairs since seeking comfort and reassurance lost from the mother wound. WELL PLAYED Downton, WELL PLAYED. In the end she gets the Marquess, because somehow, when such people heal from the wounds, they turn out to be the most altruistic and end up with the best partners. RIGHTLY PLAYED Downton.

[@isabelc2131]

Wow, being with older partners and having 'physical touch' and even, goodness no, 'pre-martial affairs' are flaws to you delicate little flower? Maybe something needs to be set straight in YOUR life, huh!?

[@MCM-sc6mb]

My favourite drama

[@anujkalra6145]

Mary spent one night with Gillingham and decided not to marry him! How bad was he really? 😅

[@ockmf]

I suspected he was boring. That'll do it 😊

[@lauramcgowan3740]

Or unsatisfactory as a lover .. you know what you want after one great mate 😎

He wasn’t Mathew, that’s all.

[@lucianasalles7272]

Boa noite familia linda! 👒👑🎩☕🍵🥛

Mary and Matthew...In the snow... perfectly dreamy. And not included? Did i miss something?

[@CP-gk4ri]

It's part 2 !

[@BlissfulDee]

That scene was in Part I, this is Part II.

[@Shakespearelover1717]

Poor old Tony Gillingham. It brings to mind the song Elton John came out with where he sings, “You can’t take a woman when she doesn’t want you…you can’t be a man…man may be strong, true love is stronger…”

[@SerenaOkoli]

Larry oh Larry

[@Serendipity989]

I always thought Mary should have slapped Lord Gillingham when he said Matthew was dead and he was alive

[@c.a.savage5689]

???? Merely stating the obvious. You can't mourn forever. Life goes on.

[@coloraturaElise]

"I do want to be stuck with you."

[@CriticalThinker798]

Poor Edith always has to ask for or demand a kiss.

[@TheBeliever1204]

Hi we're last to know what's going on in this place. Nobody asks or tells us. We have to guess and feign trust. I think it's needing unpacking and dividing up the right way. Cheers

[@Robert08010]

I was just thinking about Carson marrying Mrs Hughes and her NOT quitting to tend house and sit at home as his wife... When all of a sudden did he become all modern and progressive? Seriously, am I wrong? Wouldn't any woman in that era automatically be expected to quit her post and tend house instead?!?

[@jennifermizutani6230]

From what I've learned, It wasn't uncommon in the servant class, especially if they served the same house.

[@cor3944]

The house where they only go to sleep to?

[@jennifermizutani6230]

@cor3944 well I think that part was a special case, but considering their position it would be strange but perhaps not unheard of

[@mirabellestarr7679]

What? She wasn't the mother of his children. The homemaker of their home. They both were equals in work and in a social environment. Extend your mind a little.

[@Robert08010]

@@mirabellestarr7679 Are you totally clueless? This was a different era with a very different mindset. I'm not shaming her for not doing that, just pointing out that it would be considered far more progressive than I would have expected Carson to be prepared for.

[@audreykennedy90]

I never liked him for Edith. Not really handsome and married too...

Well he had a good excuse.
