Why did Downton succeed worldwide? Great chemistry. Great writing. Good casting. It's just a wonderful soap opera.

[@mariaeddycesario3067]

It's my favorite mexican-brittish soap-opera EVER!!

[@Fcutdlady]

You forgot intresting. Well written stories and charecters

[@MTknitter22]

Fcutdlady Yes - there is very very little excellent writing/screen writing nowadays. Just a fact.

[@swetaganapathy]

I think its a huge huge hit because it has the kind of trouble free,gentle,humane beings with which we all die to live

[@eleanor7]

Yeah it helps that the cast are just magic together onscreen and off. People can see what a joy they have together.

[@JoJoMaMa_]

I could watch them chat on a little sofa all day. They’re so sweet.

[@wvanderwahl]

Rob James Collier is so handsome and talented - its a pity he hasn't done much work in Hollywood.

[@jknuttel]

Maybe he's too busy in England.

[@DeanMoxley87]

He was typecast after Downton he talked about it in a interview a few years back

[@gaynorpatterson2915]

He would have to adapt a new accent.. these type of ones are hard for Americans to understand unfortunately

[@juancarlosmontes]

Why? So he can hang with Brad and Matt and George and Ben? So he can spiral downhill like Colin? I think it's much to his good fortune if he has not worked in Hollywood.

[@brontewcat]

@@gaynorpatterson2915 Most British actors can adapt other accents. He modified his accent a lot on the show.

My face hurts from smiling at Robert James! I’m literally smiling like the Cheshire Cat right now!

Can’t wait to see “Thomas”. Rob plays him perfectly!

[@abbiejoliec3133]

I love the suggestion that he might get a true love interest!

[@JRobbySh]

He has his story in the film. Julian gives him a friend. Police raid. Quibble. No rent boys in the crowd, which would have been the case.

My favorite character! Well done Rob James Collier

[@ezrc9294]

Collier captured his role - impeccably. He is a spitting image of my Uncle Jim when he was young. I adore this character.. He triggers a empathy note with every line

[@strawberriez880]

thoughout this entire interview, all i could think of was how GORGEOUS rob james collier is. then i had to watch it again to actually focus on what they were saying.

[@MerileeGoLucky]

It's so nice to see these three in an interview together! I love Sophie and Rob's insistence that Mrs Patmore and Mr Mason are girlfriend/boyfriend lol. We definitely need Paul Copley in the next movie if there is one

[@layla-talmedina5733]

Oh yes, definitely! ♥️ he’s adorable!

[@charchaz00]

Haha them bickering the whole time, love their chemistry

[@Mu5096rdgh]

It’s nice to see Barrow looking so animated! He’s quite good looking.

[@akferren1]

One of my most favorite shows of all time❤️

[@angeladavies898]

I saw the film and it’s so lovely! I sat through the whole thing with a smile on my face!

[@christinamitchell6796]

Can't wait to see it here in the United states😊

[@Jodie513]

I loved the movie and i was so happy to see Thomas one more time. I wish we could see more of Robert James Colier now!

[@andywood5699]

It must have been fun on the set over the last 6 years. The gossip between these three multiplied by the whole cast, sounds like it was very entertaining.

[@su-rv2uq]

What I like is that Rob J-C and Allan Leech seem to be the best of friends.

[@nolagirl7082]

Great interview! It’s like hanging out with friends as opposed to some boring interview!

[@daniellevincent8325]

Loved swing a glimpse of Robert James-Collier true personality and would love to see him in a roll where he is light…funny and kind!

[@carolineandrews7231]

Downton Abbey is loved in New Zealand also! I have whole series, and have re watched it countless times. It has become like an old friend and frequent welcome visitor, and I especially enjoyed its company during lockdown.

[@marsbeads]

Rob James Collier is stupid handsome! My goodness.

[@magnacz]

Graham Norton was very funny commenting on the downstairs staff when he sees them on the red carpet thinking how nice Mrs Patmore borrowed a 👗 dress. LOL

[@carolannetitmus8878]

Robert certainly has the accent perfect.

[@tweetypie1978]

That is his accent. He's from Manchester by sounds if it and yes Salford, Manchester I looked it up. That's the next county over so it's not quite the same as a Yorkshire accent (where the show is set) I can only tell because I have a northern accent (Lancashire) but it's quite similar. It's just the odd vowel sound that's different.

[@sukilui33]

Thanks for uploading all the Downton Abbey interviews, been searching for these. Love all the cast so much ❤️

[@philsarkol6443]

What a wonderfull cast, just so nice to see how they interact as themselves!

[@sandraprince2200]

Rob is so sweet ! He is a great actor to be soooo different from his role as footman !

[@tracyroweauthor]

wow Rob Collier is a talker!

[@tracyroweauthor]

why is there always someone who feels like they have to "educate" commentors? I've worked with actors and I've worked in Hollywood. A lot of actors are down to earth and haven't let fame go to their heads. My experience has been that the more famous actors are usually the more down to earth and the "stuck up" ones are usually the less successful ones. Of course when you have groups of actors who've been working together a long time being interviewed, they're going to "chat away". It's not necessary to assume that someone who made a comment is stupid or doesn't know what they're talking about. I didn't insult anyone, in fact I find Rob's chattiness charming. That being said, he's still talkative.

I never changed my mind about Thomas. He never showed any remorse over the awful things he did. We discovered over time that he was a tormented soul, but that doesn't excuse his actions.

[@itsme-sn5gi]

I think he did show remorse, when he was recovering after his attempted suicide, when lady Mary visits him he says he's done some bad things and he doesn't know why. That sounds like alot of remorse to me!
