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.
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."
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.
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!
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.
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.......?
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.
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!
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. :)
We, in Upland, California, love Downton Abbey. Our family and friends are so incredibly thankful for the creation of this wonderful, multi-faceted gem of a series.
I do wish Dr. Clarkson had a romance. He really cared for Isobel, but it was not to be. He also took a lot of flack from Robert and Violet. Good ole Dr. Clarkson.
It’s 2024 and I’ve only just started watching this. It’s fabulous, I’m on season 2 at the end, looking forward to watching every season! The plot twists are great too
Everything about the Downton Abbey series; music, acting, production and direction is amazing, breathtaking, amusing and really quite unique. All characters perfectly acted by a brilliant cast. Thank you.
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.
@@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.
@@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.
When I first heard of it, I didn't really care. I heard Maggie Smith was there and that it had won a bunch of awards and I still didn't care, but now I'm completely in love with it! I especially love the 3 Crawley sisters, Thomas and Daisy!
Besides the upstairs cast, young Daisy - Sophie, is a terrific little actress. She is really very good. All the actors are so good. I fell in love with Mr Bates voice. And fell for Mathew Crawley. A gorgeous gentleman.
I love the character of Thomas Barrow! It was so well written & acted! Remarkable performance. We were angry with Barrow, we wanted to slap & shake him and then to embrace and love him forever 💕💕Thank you ❤️
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
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.
I love the fashion of this time. Yes- there was the great catastrophy of the 20 century; but it was also the time of the sufraggettes and the working women. Many invention makes the life easier, beginning with the telephone and electricity.
I enjoyed the comment about midway through. It was something to the affect the actors of the downstairs staff are to treat the upstairs as a soap opera.
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 :)
Interesting how die-hard stage actors rarely allow themselves to be interviewed in costume. Don't think I've ever seen Maggie Smith interviewed in costume.
Man, Lighting is so important. 1:14 it looked like it was day, but you zoom out and its 'night' but you gotta light it so the camera can pick them up and still look like night. HECK. I shouldve gone to film school
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.
Me too :) He's my favorite. S1 hate completely his guts but he's so damn hot. But season 2 and 3 you see glimpse of his humanity finally...awwww...my heart melt everytime now. He is still arrogant but yet sweetness in him. Rob is amazing. Totally different from Thomas. Love this guy to pièces!
Really was a shame that the costume department let down the under garments. You do not wear a corset next to your skin...at no point in history would someone wear their corset without under layers...
I wonder why Hugh Bonneville said what he said about Thomas Howes Here. Everywhere I have seen him mentioned in print or here on TH-cam, Mr. Howes Has been described as most pleasant and easy to work with.
@@cllk115 Thanks so much! I had no idea that anyone on here was a personal friend of Mr. Bonneville. Tell me: is he as much fun privately as he appears in interviews?
It's 2021, who thinks there should be more episodes of Downton Abbey made?

I’m on Season 3 and just watched Sybil’s death. Holy hell, what a powerful scene. That was emotional.
Oh absolutely I know it could be difficult but they could do a jump in time where we see them several years later
Me 🙋🏾♀️Me🙋🏾♀️Me🙋🏾♀️
Yes would Love to see more

Maggie Smith’s performance was magic. The Dowager Countess of Grantham was the most marvelous character ever. I was thrilled and mesmerized by her.
Maggie Smith and Penelope Wilton have great chemistry.
I have great admiration for both these great actresses ❤
M?mm?m? 0000?ll
Mmm

They do! Both timeless. ❤️
Absolutely '
At once
😅
Maggie Smith looks so much younger when not in her character's outfits and makeup
+Random
Maybe THAT'S the real reason she never wanted to watch herself:-)
Loved it watched all 6 episodes in a week during in isolation from coronavirus . I wish it never ended .

Yup!

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.
Lol..you're funny Kelline
I love awaiting Maggie’s story lines, facial expressions...
Short, sweet, and big surprises 😎💕
There is something so charming about this comment.

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 :)
I admit I cried several times during the whole story. These are such top notch actors.!❣️
So true, the death of Lady Sybil moved everyone in the cast, as if they were really experiencing it. Many exceptional moments.

Just saw the second downton abbey movie and it’s way better than I expected lots of storylines neatly tied up
Thank you for sharing about the second Downton Abbey movie, I am looking forward to seeing it ☺
I love this wonderful series. i could imagine how realistically all actors played here. i am simply thrilled and watch it more and more often🥰
I love all the casts. Just started watching and really addicted to the show.
You're so right, it really is addictive in a very good kind of way
Rob James-Collier would make a great James Bond.
Yes please, im hooked on this brilliant drama, the best on TV by far,
Great actors make magic! It is nice to see how much they enjoy there work and how friendly they get with each other. Very human! TY Tim! @----

Thank you so much for this great show....Just a great show!!!!!
I am looking forward to the new season, to start in January, I imagine you are as well :)
Thanks for saying that, I thought I was the only African American that watched
Can’t get enough of this show-we definitely need more

I love this show so much it takes me away completely so elegant and beautiful , beautiful scenery beautiful clothes!! ❤️ Saved my sanity during Covid.
PS: and I love the character 'Mr Bates' ;)
I am impressed with Hugh Bonneville's acting in Downtown Abbey most.
Top notch 🌟
the documentary was really really good I love everything
Carson looked so smug when the dowager put down Isobel. He was a bigger snob than the family.
I love the character of Thomas Barrow! It was so well written & acted! Remarkable performance. We were angry with Barrow, we wanted to slap & shake him and then to embrace and love him forever 💕💕Thank you ❤️

When we all thought isobel and Matthew would only be there for a little and ended up becoming someone we saw every time watching it!
My life wouldn't be the same without Downton Abbey in it.

Watching Penelope & Maggie I thought I was watching an episode of Downton Abbey.
:-) so many lovable people in the cast, O'Brien plays her role so well!
Bravo! All of you! 😌
Love that series.
I hope it'll continue.
Oh I wish they would make more series just loved it
Me too, what a wonderful series Downton was, and they could bring it back and imagine that many of the actors would love to bring more adventures ☺
Maggie and Penelope are like a comedy team. 🤣
I'm in love with Matthew.
:C
Interesting how die-hard stage actors rarely allow themselves to be interviewed in costume. Don't think I've ever seen Maggie Smith interviewed in costume.
I assume they don't want to be known as just that character. You can't pick just one character you associate with Maggie Smith. 💜

Really was a shame that the costume department let down the under garments. You do not wear a corset next to your skin...at no point in history would someone wear their corset without under layers...
As a man I will take your word for this ... it certainly makes sense what you say
got sucked in by getting a show in such a perfect time period in the partial pov of the house staff, stayed for maggie smith's character.
daisy is adorable :3
Love them truly ✨💋✨💋✨
What's the name of the soundtrack or song that starts around 11:45, someone pleaseeeeee tell me!
I don't dislike O'Brien so much any more. :))
This video explains perfectly why English series (period or not) are *far, far* better than American ones.
How did I just find this lovely thing? Thanks so much many years too late!
Its August 2022 and i wish there would be more...
XD Love the show
Originality is the key
11:42 Jessica brown findlay :)
I really hope they do a film version of marple and Maggie plays her.
2024❤ best series ever
My favorites are the Butler and the Butlerin
Imádom ezt a filmet. Nagyon várom a folytatást...
I certainly would love another episode. Thoroughly enjoyable. Just don’t change the cast too much. Hard to relate to new actors.
I agree it would not be wise to change the cast too much, each character becomes someone special to us.
I wonder why Hugh Bonneville said what he said about Thomas Howes Here. Everywhere I have seen him mentioned in print or here on TH-cam, Mr. Howes Has been described as most pleasant and easy to work with.
He was being sarcastic.
