#DowntonAbbey
I think it says a lot that Edith later invited Thomas to her wedding, even though he was no longer working at Downton at the time. She never forgot that she owed her life to him.
I'm so disappointed there isn't more scene of this two interacting lmao
"Lady Edith chose to set fire to her room..." Mary could never resist throwing shade!! 😂😂😂
I had tears at that part 😂😂
She was put in fear for her son's life, I'd be throwing shade too.
@@Elizabeth-hc3mi let’s be honest, Mary doesn’t even care about this boy, she doesn’t take him right, i think her creation with him would have been better if mathew hadn’t died! And she always wants to blame Edith as if she wanted to have done it!😐🙂 Oh, and that’s my opinion, okay?😊
I agree!!!😂❤
@@Laurafernanda2010 Her first response when she was told of the fire was "Oh my God! George!" And when Carson tells her to take an interest in something she says, "I take an interest in George"
The whole point of Downtown Abbey is that these are supposed to be real like real life people. No cartoonishly evil villians incapable of doing anything good. Just because Mary behaves very questionably sometimes doesn't mean she's incapable of love. She loves George, just like she loves Anna, Sybil, Mathew, Tom, Thomas, Carson and many others and does genuinely good things to help them.
Thomas was an army medic who was in the trenches of WW1, he ran into that fire like it was nothing
TO SOME DEGREE ANY MAN OR ANY WOMAN WHO HAS BEEN IN THE LINE OF FIRE AND WITNESS TO THE HORRORS OF WAR CAN BE AS THEY CALL IT "CALM UNDER FIRE" THOMAS BEING IN THE GREAT WAR HE'S WITNESSED SITUATIONS OF EXTREME DANGER
Because this is what real combat war-veterans do--even to this day.
The dead look on Roberts face and resigned "there's a fire." will never not be funny
It really is! And I don't know, maybe it's just me but if I were engaged in an extremely frowned upon tryst, I'd keep one ear open because you just never know.
@@rosequartz4102 Or lock the door
@@arianebolt1575 without a doubt! I lock my doors even if I stay my parents house. If I'd been in their position I would've locked it or if it didn't lock, slide a dresser in front of it!
My parents never shut their bedroom door. And so neither did I. I still don't.
@@ronnie7075 So?
Lord Grantham : Fire! Fire! 😱
(Sees James) : 😑 *There's. A. Fire.* 😒
Has me CRYING every time! 🤣🤣🤣
Am I the only one who completely and lovingly appreciates how Tom kisses Baby Sybiee before Lord Gillingham carries her off to safety. 💕😘
Yea he definitely loves that girl.And ThomAS might be a total scoundrel but he always protects the family.
You are not the only one!! I noticed right away. So sweet.....and I think this may have been an ad lib moment. Not written into the script, but so intuitive on Tom's part.
Yes, you are the only one.
@@westlock you are just EVIL lol.
My two favorites along with Mrs Hughes
The best bit of this has to be when Robert breaks in on Lady Chatterly and her lover and his blind panic is suddenly replaced with shock, so he straightens up and says "There is a fire" in a fairly dead-pan tone. Its like a record scratch for the series.
True I I laughed a bit too loud😂
The happy couple: 😶😶
Robert: 😑
A good scene where you can see how brave Thomas is!
I have a soft spot for Thomas. He's REAL. People love to villianize him, but who among us has never behaved vengefully? Or acted out of spite? I can think of a dozen times I have just off the top of my head. He's a product of his backstory. And when it comes down to it, when it really matters like with the fire or nanny, he does the right thing.
@@rosequartz4102 fr, earlier seasons was a bit harder to tolerate some of his behavior, but he still quickly became a fav
@@rosequartz4102 agree! And let's not forget when he got beaten up at the fair by those sore loser creeps, to protect Jimmy & to show him he could be relied upon as a friend. Thomas for the win! 😊
"And save the dog"
Most valued member of the family. I love dogs.
He loved Isis. That’s why Barrow had to use her as a pawn to get back in the Crawley’s good graces. But it almost backfired on him; he was lucky that morning.
Barrow was definitely a user and spiteful. He became better after O’Brien left with Lady Susan Flintshire. But I realize it was very difficult for Barrow being the only homosexual man on the staff and perhaps in the village. As far as I remember we never got a hint of him having any relationships in the village, just with the lord who used Lady Mary, in order to to retrieve his indiscreet letters in the staff’s quarters. I did feel sorry for him in his situation.
priorities
@@thamarachaves5842 It is important to save pets. They can get totally freaked out by the noise and smoke, and might run and hide.
Thomas finally showed his true colors: a hero. He did not hesitate to rescue Lady Edith putting himself in extreme danger
Can't you spell the word colour
@@melaniekendall4903 It is color over here
We really get to see Col. Grantham in action here. Takes immediate control of the situation, barks out a string of clear, concise orders and makes sure everyone knows what they're doing. It's a damned shame (and something of a shock, given how young he is) that the army didn't snap him up in 1914, and if he came home at all, it would surely have been as a general officer.
If it was my house, I would be barking orders too.
believe me, if he had been my dad, I wouldn't have wanted him to go off to a war...
Actuó muy bien aquí pero esto es muy diferente a un puesto de mando en la guerra
I love how the fire isn't the only dramatic thing going on at the time
I find it funny Robert was initially thanking his luck Branson hadn’t burnt the house down. And here he is saving it from fire
“Lady Edith chose to set fire to her room.” The absolute best line Jillian Fellows has ever written!
Ya, sure.
There are many best lines throughout the series. I liked when Jimmy told Thomas " I can never give you what you want"
Everyone panicking upstairs, meanwhile in the basement just calmly "yes please hurry along. The house is burning" in like the calmest voice
They were actually coming down from the attics where they sleep which is even scarier because they could all easily be trapped.
Love how Jimmy and Ethel both basically did the same thing, but one gets turned out on the streets without a reference, and the other is gracefully fired with a good reference.
because Ethel is a women. Its a mans world unfortunately.
That’s a good point. I never even thought of that!
Ethel was given a good reference the first time and she returned with a thicker plot.
@@MM-pw6de and a thicker middle
@@MM-pw6deNo, that was Edna
love how Robert took control of the situation
“We’re fine. Lady Edith chose to set fire to her room, but we’re fine.” 💀
Just one more dig.
I now see Tom and Robert working together in this scene as a father-son team up.
Another fantastic scene! I live down the street from our town fire company, so close I can hear THEIR bell even before the fire trucks head out. It really makes you grateful how far we've come in fire management. It's so much faster and more efficient now, no sandbuckets or waiting on estate firemen. From the time I hear their bell to the time I hear sirens is well under a minute.
"And save the dog!" ♡
I absolutely loved Tom in this scene!
If Lady Anstruther hadn't been there to seduce Jimmy he wouldn't have had Barrow on the family bedroom floor to help him. If Barrow hadn't been there, Edith would have probably died. Lady Anstruther is the real hero here.
I never thought of it like that. The next one to notice the smoke would likely have been the dog and by then it would have been way too late.
@samantha smith The house is hotel large. Lady Anstruther is a considerable distance away. And they're distracted.
@@patd9898 Humor is a concept where a person can make a ridiculous or exaggerated remark at odds with the facts in an effort to amuse. It runs the risk of being misunderstood, especially when presented in a dry or straight-faced manner.
@@squireob the dry humour would have worked well in person. Apologies.
I think she was more than rewarded for her heroism. *cough* 😘
Just watched from beginning to end for the second time in a row. No better show nowhere.
I hated Barrow right until this scene, but in truth he really was good at heart and regretted his past, and wanted to be redeemed
Fun fact: I've been to Downton Abbey: The Exhibition, and you can see that photo of Marigold as a baby that Edith's looking at in that scene up close. The fact that Edith had a photo taken of a child she was told she was going to have to give up really tells me that, in a world where there would have been no risk of both Edith and Marigold becoming outcasts on all levels of society, Edith would have kept her and claim her. While I agree with people who say that Edith could have tried to be a bit more sympathetic to the Drewes, it's hard to completely fault a mother who wanted to find a way to stay a part of her child's life in a world where claiming Marigold could ruin both their futures.
Also, Mary's comment about Edith choosing to set her room on fire once again proves that if there was a prize for worst big sister, she would totally win it.
Mary and Edith were equally annoying at various times. Sybil was the sweet sister.
I totally agree with you! I can understand that she should have been a little bit more sympathetic towards the Drews. However considering the hell Edith went through losing Gregson I can see why Edith took Marigold because she couldn't bear losing anything else. And yes Mary is the worst sister ever!
Coffee Bean87 Mary wins!Mary wins!Lol.
@@gnostic268 What annoyed me about Edith was everyone would insult her to her face and she'd have this completely equal look on her face "How dare you!Yea,you're right."
@@kerriethompson2073 Edith dated a man old enough to be her dad who dumped her at the altar.Then her second chance on this miniseries was Gregson,who died.Marigold,Gregson's orphan child (yes I know she had Edith but she really didn't,not unmarried in the 20's),was Edith's last chance at children and passing on her line of the lineage,or so she thought.
So sweet of Carson to make sure Jimmy was safe even if he wasn t his biggest fan
Notice though he cared nothing for Thomas burning lol
He saw that Thomas was busy and preoccupied with checking Edith for injury. So he asked him for her status since Thomas would know best. On top of which, the house is on fire. He had other things to worry about
@@KoiYakultGreenTea You're confusing Carson with Robert.
@@KoiYakultGreenTeano Carson didn't know Thomas was upstairs
@@marionarda2790 read above comment
@@KoiYakultGreenTea i dont think you can make the difference between Robert and Carson
I love that final quiet moment of Downton with no lights on. She feels alive in that darkness, for some reason.
It is very true to form that the servants and family members would have been carrying artwork out of the house to save it.
They did this ar Windsor Castle when it caught fire.
Most of people might care about the crisis, but I only care about Edith crying over Michael... I'll just never be over them. I can't😭😭😭
I think she was crying for the baby too.
@@elisecooper1942 Yeah that's true. She had a premarital child of the dead love of her life.
@@rahaa.sh_307 Yes, everyone knows that.
People can care about several things simultaneously, darling, and don't speak for others.
Not me.
Your passive-aggressive comment is an obvious disguise of your blatant attempt to bully-for-the sake of bullying "
I suggest you grow up.
Poor vain silly James, it was not really his fault but being only a servant he was made to pay with his job!
Lord Grantham expertly took control of the situation 👌
He’s an officer with combat experience. Taking charge would be second nature to him.
Plus he probably know the danger of fire in a house that old and wants to prevent its destruction the best he can!
“FIRE! FIRE!”
“theres a fire…”
Mary was mean by saying Edith decided to set her room in fire.
Me encanta esta escena del valiente Thomas ❤️🔥
Edith's Room wasnt the only room in flames... 🔥
We all just sang the title of the video in the tune of London's Burning.
02:58 Aww the dog
Lady Edith choose to set fire to her room.... really Mary? 😒
Ikr thats her reaction? No concern at all. Also Cora being the only one to aknowledge Thomas
I think that comment was made in jest, it's called being ironic!
I’m not really surprised- it seems rather realistic for siblings to say that, even without the additional spite between Edith and Mary
@@saberthecoolest not im my experience, They would at least ask are you ok what the hell happend? And THEN call you an idiot you know to your face
It’s the best line Julian Fellows ever wrote for a character.
The water would have caused as much damage as the fire, particularly to the ceiling below. The firemen, who were unrealistically prompt arriving, would not have left so quickly. A fire like that can get into the laths behind the plaster and smoulder quietly before developing into a conflagration again. They would have been watching everywhere for signs of smoke and touching the walls for signs of heat for several hours. This was one scene which rather stretched credulity for the sake of a weak plot device.
This happened at my first apartment - the top floor in one of the oldest buildings in town. There was a fire in the basement. I called the fire department at about half past midnight, the firemen said they'd found the source of the fire about half past one and that we should be fine within a few hours, with some smoke damage. At three at night, my living room window blew out because the fire had spread through the walls and the whole building was overignited.
That’s good RL information, but Downton Abbey has to carry on smartly. I’m sorry to see handsome James go; he is easy on the eyes. No wonder his former employer imposed on the Crawleys; she wanted him back. He probably went back with a promotion and better pay, with fringe benefits. I hope he was allowed to get up later after working late at night.
I'm pretty sure the town is right down the hill and ALREADY on the estate. I had to remember this also at first lol
I am so happy that I’m not the only one who thought the fire dept got there way too quick. 😂 They basically teleported there. 😆
Save the dog 🐶
Really liked Lord Grantham's leadership there
Does anyone know the name of the musical motif at the beginning of this clip and again around 5:21? It’s shown up in quite a few episodes and I can’t find the song.
Such a tear jerker!
I'm so happy that Barrow stepped into help Edith here, proved himself to be a decent guy after all
James was able to leave with a good reference while poor Ethel was sent to ruin for doing the same thing.
"Lady Edith chose to set fire to her room" 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
"lady edith CHOSE to set fire to her room" mary I swear
FIRE THERE'S A FIRE
I thought, yeah in various forms * wink *
Base of the flames lord Granthham, base of the flames.
how can they all go back inside and just sleep when it stilll reeks of smoke and there's water everywhere that's now damaging the floors
Lord Grantham took control!
Weird how a character who started out being such a jerk becomes a real hero by the end of the series.
Wasn’t he a jerk cuz he was gay? I’d be mad too if folks basically demonized my sexuality to the point that I have to hide it and pretend to be something I’m not. It’s quite sad. 😞
@@janniegurl05 Nah, he basically sneered at William after his mom died and conspired with O'Brien to get Bates fired... then got caught stealing by Molesley. Thomas and O'Brien pretty much came across as jerks during the first season.
@@richardhall9815yes, but all of this is recontextualized with the later seasons. He truly loved being in downton (even though he only realized it after the war) but because he was always bullied for being gay, he felt the need to pull schemes and such to gain a more secure position at all costs as he thought he would be discarded as soon as possible if he stayed in the lower positions
Fires like that can gut great houses. That's what happened to Castle Howard in the 50s. They still haven’t finished rebuilding.
The woman Jimmy was sleeping with also played "Duckface" in Four Weddings And A Funeral.
Yes! Yes, she did!!
she was also related directly to Jane Austen's rich brother and the Finch-Hatton (a distanttttttttttttt relation of the herbert of highclere, because the finch was originally Fitzherbert and shared common ancestor)
There are 30+ bedrooms in Downton. But Edith had to sleep in Roberts dressing room?
The bed was already made . Easier faster etc.
Quite understandable. Unless they expected that many guests the bedrooms would have been left unprepared and by the time it would have been ready it might have been close to sunrise. Why wait for that when there was a bed ready to be used?
she just survived death by burning but she won't sleep in her father's dressing room next to her parent's bedroom🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Hoses, Firefighters. Practically the modern times. 😁 Good job your Lordship! 👍 (psst… aim to the base of the flames. Works better in most cases)
So James didn't hear the commotion before Lord Grantham walked in on him
They were otherwise occupied. 😀
I think its safe to say that his focus was elsewhere
@@thedarknesscallingme I guess I'm just able to multitask whenever I'm in a compromising situation.
What I never understood - did these large country greenhouses have locks on the bedroom doors? If I were going to sneak a footman into my room at night, I would certainly want the bedroom door to be LOCKED. And apparently such illicit, clandestine affairs and assignations were quite common at house parties and gatherings.
Can anyone PLEASE tell me the name of the soundtrack that plays at the end of this clip as well as when Edith throws the book away?
Pop quiz, what is the name ( not make and model) of the fire engine?
barrow saved her for better things
I was fearing for everybody's lives!!
Another example of a woman (viz. Lady Edith) being clinically depressed way back in the days of yore; and regardless of wealth.
Definition of sexism - Jimmy got a reference and Ethel didn’t !
I can't say I blame Lady Anstruther for inviting that specific 'guest' into her room.. xD
And save the dog most Britsh thing ever 🤣
The English upper class only care about two things their horses 🐎 and dogs 🐕 😂😂😇
@@davidcorruthers78 Yes, that’s why Robert immediately abandoned everyone else to find Isis. Oh, wait, he didn’t.
You always want to make sure to account for pets in a fire. Even the best trained dogs can freak out from the noise and the smoke, and trap themselves inside.
Porque lo despidio a Jimmy no entiendo ???
At least Lord Grantham had his priorities straight.
Why was Tom on the gallery?
Barrow? He was keeping watch for uhh Jimmy? The servant sleeping with the lady
@@3lli0 Why would he do Jimmy a favour? What was in it for him?
@@pneron2032 I honestly can't remember. Go and watch the episode
Fire in 3 places.
Notice Crawley said his daughter should be outside, not Barrow who was also coughing his own lungs up. I love the British class system.
Notice Crawley told him to get out immediately instead of staying to help .
2:15
Did they forget Violet in the burning building Oops🙊
Violet doesn't live at the Abbey, she lives at the dower (dowager) house, which is some distance away.
The fact that James was still chatting with Lord Grantham's guest outside after he found them both in bed just goes to show how much he wanted to lose his job. Don't know why they even gave him a reference
Pauvre Édith rien ne lui sera épargné et elle rendra coup pour coup dans sa jalousie envers Mary ... mais le destin est cruel avec elle....
I FEEL SO SORRY FOR JAMES HERE? GETTING FIRED FOR LOVE
This is what I don't understand about this scene. How could Edith be so dead asleep that she was completely aware of the fire around her, and why was she unresponsive when Thomas tried to awake her?
Maybe the smoke played a role in keeping her unconscious?
So, the house was saved because of a booty call. 😄
As was Edith.
Is it like a law that a British man can always take a moment to be shocked?
"Lady Edith chose to set fire to her room..."
Really Mary?!?! No decent person chooses to set their room on fire. Who says that about their sister?!
Then again, this might be a precursor to Mary corners Edith into saying half way into Season 6 of the show! 🙃😏🤫😉
People apparently do say that about their siblings, from what I’ve heard (only child speaking, so I could be wrong), although the relationship between Edith and Mary is extra spiteful
@@saberthecoolest I have siblings, and no, none of us would have said that. Even the ones I don’t get along with wouldn’t have said that. Our first reaction would be worry and concern, then maybe making fun of them. Mary has always been spiteful to Edith.
@@ziggystatdust6008 Mary is unpleasant and jealous of Edith
Mary was being flippant, she didn’t really think Edith had deliberately set the fire.
Mary’s comment was sarcasm.
Honestly, I could never bring myself to like Bates
1:59 It means happened After you watched Eragon and Read the books LOL
Eragon: Oh, *Arcaena me!
*Arcaena Is the religion that they use in Eragon books
I dont get it
How melodramatic and unrealistic. Everyone had time, in an emergency, to put on their dressing gowns, the buckets of sand and the fire brigade came awfully quick, the entire house had to be evacuated for a small fire in one of many, many rooms, and the furniture of said room just had to be removed to the front lawn! Oh, the drama.
Melodramatic and unrealistic is kind of downton’s trademark, haha
1. ppl can grab their gowns on the way out and put them on on their way down
2. buckets are supposed to be within reach, like a fire extinguisher nowadays
3. fire is very unpredictable and even a relatively small fire can get bigger and do immense damage ( see further Triangle Shirtwaist Factory and London Fire, both were ignored for too long)
4. that only leaves the fire brigade which was, i agree, way too quick to arrive, but then again films are usually not in real time - time is prolonged or (as it might be done here) accelerated.
I liked this episode!
You obviously don't know anything about fire and how fast it can spread. The fire brigade is on the grounds of the estate so it's not like they had to drive 10 miles to get there and finally, it's a tv show, not a documentary.
so it was the smoke from the fire that caused his ulcer to erupt?
More than a year later? Not very likely.
That was the funnest scene! ...Way too much blood for a ruptured ulcer.
Stupidity seems to follow Lady Edith…
💙 🙂 💜
James left Downton only to resurface years later as son of Picard. Not bad, m8, not bad at all.
It took me half an episode of Picard before I realised where I'd seen Jack before.
Once again Edith nearly destroys her family.
She just fcking slept through the fire 😂😂😂😂🔥
How did they not hear the commotion and calls of "FIRE !" ?
