Presenting Mr. And Mrs. Carson | Downton Abbey

[@heathermetz6576]

7:33 “I learned that Downton is my home and that you are my family.”

[@dastrnad]

Man, that line! The trials and tribulations the entire family had to go through in order to reach that place.

[@kenziecullen4434]

The scene I had waited for from the moment Carson was happily polishing silver while singing “She Stole My Heart Away.” Add Tom declaring Downton his true home and you have one of my favorite scenes of the whole series 💜

[@annec6200]

I 💯% agree❣️ And if I may say, write at least, in a British accent bc I’m Canadian, to borrow what Mrs Crawley has said on many occasions: « Brava» 😊

[@tanamonteiro6123]

Me too. One of my all time favorite scenes

[@gregh7927]

“Dashing away at the smoothing iron, she stole my heart away.”

[@m.layfette6249]

"We've come to dress the bride." 💜

[@capture_diaries]

Loved the bagpipes! I often forget that Mrs. Hughes is a Scotswoman, so this is a nice reminder.

[@jacklynlawson]

My absolute favorite part is when Tom walked in with Sybbie and repeated "To the bride and groom". Mary's face lit up like a Christmas tree. She was so happy to have her brother back. Even Carson who once said Tom would bring shame on the family was happy to see him. Carson came a long way in accepting Tom as a member of the family. Truly one of my favorite moments season 6.

[@imogenonscreen8054]

As sad as Sybil's death was I think that's what really lead to Tom being accepted as a member of the family

[@rebeccadakes]

The fact that Barrow was so invested in Mr Carson's day is so beautiful to watch. Barrow, the man of many shades

[@m.layfette6249]

0:45-1:35 Is it just me or seeing Carson nervous and flustered the Absolute Sweetest thing on God's green earth?!? 💗

[@jwpaulson2360]

"I've not got any ushers!" - probably my favorite line from the whole run-up to the ceremony. Tom's return caps off the episode (and the reception) wonderfully.

[@bhinoyj]

IT was their souls that fell in love ... not bodies or minds or egos. Love the Carson and Mrs Hughes storyline. And also whatever succeeds from here. Especially the Carson cooks episode.

[@TinaButcher-r6m]

Love the way she trolls his adoration of the family and he let's her get away with it

[@MilotheShrike]

Barrows little "What about me mr carson?" you know he actually rly wanted to be there, quarrals aside he has always respected the man alot, and mrs hughes is one of the few ppl who rly saw and understood Barrow from the beginning. Just a small line, but the delivery speaks volumes to me

[@delphinec9307]

Lord Grantham being one of Carson's ushers alongside with servants 🙂

[@guyledouche7939]

1:20 Thomas really did want to be an usher for Carson. Idh why, but my favorite scene in the whole show is when Barrow fills in for Carson, and when he returns he expects Thomas to have sullied up the Butlers room, or maybe even taken something, only to find that Thomas left the room spotless, cleaner than when Carson left, with a little paper in the door with his name in beautiful, careful handwriting. Thomas always wanted Carsons approval because he respected him so much and wanted Carson to respect him as a servant and a man. And it was all shown with no dialouge. Such a perfect scene that shows how tortured Thomas really is, feeling like hell never belong bit desperately wanting to.

[@delphinec9307]

which scene is it?

[@amyk6659]

Sybbie hugging George and Marigold -- just as her mother would have done.

[@judibethgamano2872]

7:05 “ I echo every syllable “ ❤what a great line 👏👏👏👏

[@ericaohenebekoe]

"A peer in favour of reform is like a turkey in favour of Christmas"😂😂😂😂

[@CathyHendrix1]

That little sigh by Ms. Patmore at the end of the ceremony has always touched my heart. I do hope that her and Mr. Mason will have their own ceremony if we get another film. Ms. Patmore and Mr. Molesey were my favorite 2 characters. Love seeing them both happy. Tom coming into the reception was another highlight! And I don't want to overlook the interaction between Dinker and Spratt. Wonderful actors who played so well off of each other, and never disappointed in their ability to entertain. What a great episode!

[@jennajayroe]

“Milady, Mr. Carson would forgive you if you attacked him with a brick.” 😂

[@garretthildebrandt428]

I'll say this as one of many praises for Downton, their food & drink spreads are always delicious looking.

[@emilydoe4139]

I know, right? It makes me wish that I was rich enough to have a private chef to cook such yummy food for me!

[@juliana22]

Tom's entrance always makes me tear up. He is my favorite, after all, so I may be biased. 😊

[@harringt100]

It's very dramatic and all, but I highly doubt anyone would have done that. 😂 Take a steamship all the way across the Atlantic and then come back and surprise everyone without knowing whether they've hired a replacement? Probably not.

[@suerose7479]

Me too ❤ ….. it’s just done it again happy tears

[@delphinec9307]

@@harringt100 well, as the father of Sybil, he could do that even if his professional position was no more available. He is part of the familiy.

[@peterwilliamskelhorn6675]

@juliana22 Tom is my favourite as well

[@junewilson1629]

@@harringt100 I don't doubt it. Back then in those days things were done a lot differently. Back then in Europe things were done a lot differently than they are done in the US. Even these days things are done still a lot differently overseas. And Europeans for the most part have always had a longer-lasting loyalty than Americans. It is only now changing that I have noticed. And you don't just "replace" family. Tom had little Sibbie. Even if the Granthams had found someone else to run the Estate - they would have made room for Tom to co-run it. And I can tell you from personal experience, sometimes it does take a trip to the other side of the grass divider to realize that the grass over there is just not greener. And then comes the real challenge. Coming back without loosing face when admitting, ooops, I realized this is my home. Not too easy that one. So no, I don't doubt it for one NY nano-second.

[@callicordova4066]

I love the bagpipes for Elsie. I love how she says "for richer for poorer." I know in one episode she said something about a "poor bairn."

[@junewilson1629]

I still laugh about Mrs. Hughes (ahem, make that Mrs. CARSON) her statement "Oh my Lady, Mr. Carson would forgive you if you attacked him with a brick." And just how right she is. Hilarious.

[@josettelecoquette8997]

😂 he would excuse her for murder and think it outrageous that they would dare charge her😂 iirc, she says to him at some point I’ll do something even *you* can’t forgive w/his response being that he doubted it! 😂♥️

[@TinaButcher-r6m]

So glad Mary didnt get her way with the hall, first time she realized her way of life wasnt envied by the majority

[@junewilson1629]

Mary - at times - was an arrogant missy with a hissy fit. She needed to be taken down a notch or two at times.

[@margaretharypkema9290]

😂😂 Silly of course, but I got quite emotional when they exchanged their vows! ❤

[@northernlight4evah]

I watched Upstairs, Downstairs years ago on PBS. When Downton Abbey came along, i figured it was a copy and never watched it. CBC is currently running Downton Abbey, and I can't wait for each episode to air!

[@mavisrosemond7346]

Love Spratt so straight forward Danker plays into his Hands

[@3lli0]

2:31 has anyone noticed that Lord Grantham is also Mr Carson's usher? He too has a rose

[@choryllis6646]

Ah HECK not the kids of the three sisters having a little reunion and all hugging

[@amaryllis7482]

seeing Carson rehearse his lines was so terribly cute

[@assassino1480]

Wound up here after a marathon of Sharpe clips and had the jumpscare of a lifetime seeing Mrs. Hughes and Carson's wedding being officiated by Henry Simmerson.

[@TheMostExcellentPeer]

That's my style sir

[@ginafromcologne9281]

So beautiful, I loved everything about this wedding! What a beautiful couple. :) I wish it was real and I had been invited. :D

[@juliea2864]

This is my favorite DA wedding.

[@mariaeddycesario3067]

I do not know for sure, but these 7:35 mins of the series are my favorite!!! (Well, there's the minutes that Carson propose to Ms. Hughes, too) When I first watched this, I cried with joy!!!

[@f.-j.j.5738]

Marriage is such a beautiful and sacred thing ❤

[@waltertaljaard1488]

Always had to get used to it seeing Sir Henry Simmerson as a vigar.

[@fernandonascimento4692]

Lord Simmerson from Sharpe officiating a wedding? Now that's soldiering!

[@JMac7395]

I'm just going to say what everyone refuses to acknowledge, part of the reason why Tom returned isn't just because he missed the family. It's because he became accustomed to a certain lifestyle. Going back to the lower-middle class lifestyle, after living the upper class lifestyle for a few years, must've been an awkward transition for Tom. Even though Tom still had his opinions regarding the upper class, one can't deny how comfortable he became in his position once he finally ignored the judgment from his lower middle class brethren. The same can be said for Matthew. Once Matthew moved past his stubborn awkwardness regarding servants waiting on him, he became fairly comfortable with the lifestyle too

[@SerenaOkoli]

Edith was so confident and beautiful here

[@mariapiabassetti8759]

Che nostalgia,io aspetto sempre...una continuazione???❤

[@alking7655]

It was even funnier (and cuter) when they put the inside joke in the second film, with the hat salesman in France. Having Lady Maude Bagshaw walking in the shop and how the assistant says "you and your wife" when she's helping him pick one. Dear Imelda, now there is a woman who knows what her husband looks good wearing. Even though she was never recommended by Jim to audition.

[@seanwolslau-holdren6731]

6:35 Mary's face lighting up when she's sees Tom and Sybil.

[@avi.chan23]

That's just what I needed today ❤❤❤

[@Serai3]

See? It's perfectly possible to be gracious when someone makes an unrelated announcement at your wedding. You don't HAVE to get in a snit and decide it's been ruined.

[@harringt100]

LOL, that's true. Tom didn't see the need for Matthew's or Mary's delicacy. (Or maybe just wasn't as reluctant to make the announcement.)

[@ericascott9645]

really appreciate Barrow's story arc, from being hated to becoming an unwanted usher lolol

[@AlexS-oj8qf]

6:30 I just realize how awkward it must be from the perspective of the people who don't know them. Imagine in the middle of a toast someone just arrive randomly and all focus shifted from the Bride & Groom to them, even worse they do the reunion there in front of everyone 🤣

[@Cik_Siput.Luar_Biasa]

It’s so awkward to watch….very cringe😅

[@AlexS-oj8qf]

@@Cik_Siput.Luar_Biasai knew right, at leas finish the toast, have them ongoing to be seated, then Tom arrive so people don’t stand about since the toast is unfinished 😂

[@JoshuaTDillard]

Cei, thankyou!

It's a good thing Tom came back. They'd have been at each others throats and surviving on cat food otherwise.

[@beabelon9035]

[@bigbob1699]

All weddings should have bag pipes!

[@andrewcoogans471]

Most of them do! Well most of the ones I have been to anyway in Scotland. It's strange, I just assumed they were part of most weddings, but of course why would they be in England?! The problem with bagpipes is the sound does carry!!!

Mrs. Hughes could do better.

[@harringt100]

Oh, sure. But where was she going to find someone who deserved her?

[@jimmyjohnsonjnr]

The Earl of Grantham wouldn't have attended this wedding. He'd be taking advantage of the absence of the staff to stay at the house and trawl around the maids' rooms, sniffing their undergarments, drilling peep holes and unlocking doors so that he could return late at night for his perverted games, prying on those who can't hit back. He truly sickens me.
