I'm 73. My Grandmother was a milner :) But I watch this, it's the second time, as the class divides were very real, and very unfair. Yet we still have the haves, and the have-nots. At least back then, the have-nots in service were housed, fed, and clothed.
No they weren't. Only those who were the priviledged mainstay of the rich (their servants) were clothed, housed, and fed - becaause if they weren't, the rich would flounder in a sea of resentment and spite. Those who were not the priviledged mainstay of the rich lived in poverty. Get a grip on reality.
@gordonbennet1094 Are you floundering? Do you have a grip on reality? There is no, and really never will be - truth - re any past event. Era, person, culture. Perhaps, general ways of being can be garnered by future peopes (us), about past peoples and eras. None of us really know. And of course, not every person working in a house belonging to others was treated right. No workers unions back then - and no tenants union here in Vic AU. Throughout history people have been sat on (by cats, dogs and babies in the main, and by authority gone mad with power - at other times. 1'm 73 there will be typos. Downton Abbey: horses, beautiful trees and lawns, and a magnificent house. PLUS: Maggie Smith.
When my Nan was alive (she was born in Dublin) she used to watch Upstairs Downstairs every week. She used to criticise it all the time. She had worked for the Aristocracy in Southern Ireland so was very knowledgeable about how things were done.
Dear TheBeliever... 👍👌👏 They're not more than typical unloyal a__holes. There's not a bit decency in them. But in the end it's: Lies have short legs and truth will out. Until then they're unfortunately extremely annoying (I even don't like the actress and the actor). Best regards, luck and health in particular.
The "Winning Rose" storyline was taken from Mrs Minerva (1942), where Lady Beldon, the habitual winner of the local flower-show main prize for a rose, ignores the Judges decision to yet again give her the prize, and awards it instead to the perennial runner-up, Mr Ballard.
I could never tell which is my favorite character. Another thing, we know why Robert married Cora against his mom's wishes but how did they first meet?
She was sent to London once she finished her education in America. Her family were very monied ( although new money - and Jewish). Her mother wanted her to meet English gentry to make a good marriage. She met Lord Grantham who was also searching for a marriage - of convenience - whoever he settled on had to be very wealthy! She would marry into a very good titled English family in return he would get a very decent dowry - the estate needed the money at that time. The good news is Cora fell in love immediately and he after several months of marriage found he had fallen in love with her too. Old lady Grantham could never be happy about the marriage as she wanted a good marriage for her son to another likewise titled old English family. She frowned on Cora because a/ she is American not English and b/ her family are ‘new’ money not ‘old’ money. Hope this helps😂. Xx
The difference between the girls' bedrooms is very telling. Also I just noticed but it's ridiculous how they dress for dinner as if they're going to a party.
From Wikipedia: "Both the words "recipe" and "receipt" come from the Latin verb recipere, which means "to receive or take". In the 17th century, both words were used to refer to cooking instructions. However, "recipe" is used by modern writers on cooking." This show is not set in the 17th century, but maybe the usage remained in whatever little village Mrs. P. comes from. This kind of thing usually happens in the writers room. One of the writers likely had a grannie who used the phrase when the writer was a child, and they put it in for atmosphere.

O'Brien is such a villain.
watching again in kind remembrance of Maggie Smith
Sybil is so pretty and kind.
When my Nan was alive (she was born in Dublin) she used to watch Upstairs Downstairs every week. She used to criticise it all the time. She had worked for the Aristocracy in Southern Ireland so was very knowledgeable about how things were done.
The série was made after another film, " Gosford park", where aristocrats are stupid and have no moral values, and servants taking advantage of it .
What did she use to say?
👍👌👏 2) Thanks a lot for uploading and sharing this great series.
Best regards, luck and health in particular.
Ooh innocent Daisy
The scene where you see Mary laughing out loud and just after Mrs Patmore crying gets me every times
❤❤❤ love this, watching each segment with sheer glee.
Sybil lovely
Saturday night was the last night I had
Mrs O'Brien is an example of "misery loves company"
Please please upload series 2 or all of them 👍❤️🇦🇺
Mary is such a Madam..
Thomas & O'Brien are so dangerous
But their schemes often backfire, it's the risk plotters have to take
It is like Thomas is the Son O'Brian never had!
They're a couple of rats...
@@Noone-m1f
She can't be that old.
He's probably just a decade younger than her !
Both their souls black as tar though... 😮

Beautiful handwriting...better than on my formal qualifications.
Anna is so precious, I hope that she and Mr. Bates find their happiness at some point :( Mary exasperates me sometimes.
They will 😊
If Gwen and Sybil had asked Branson he would have kept quiet and helped😊
My thoughts exactly. Although he never was one to lie
thank you for this lovely gift you're sharing with us! God bless
Poor Daisy
thank you for uploading this
Matthew ❤❤❤
❤
Thank you very much!!
O ' Brien is so dangerous
Sow 😂
Waarom wordt er zo ingeknipt? Mis echt belangrijke stukken. Sabels bal bijvoorbeeld!

You mean 'Mrs Miniver'.
@ I do mean Mrs Miniver. Thank you for pointing out my horrendous error. 🤒
There's a woman in my office, unfortunately part of our team, who is just like O'Brien-venomous, like a snake.
Thankyou 💜

Did he just say "bravo" to a woman? An earl should know enough Italian to say "brava."
Thankyou
Sybil devious to get it out of daisy .
You mean Edith, there's nothing devious about Sybil
Thomas proved his worth in time ❤
How? Yeah he waa a good butler. But very dangerous
@@TheBeliever1204 watch the show ! 😂♥️✌️
EastEnders with Hats
"Game of Thrones" with less blood and fewer boobs.
Welp, Dragon moved...
It’s ‘ambassador’ with an o, not an e!
It's the way she writes o's. Compare it to her London. She writes her o's like her c's and e's.
The difference between the girls' bedrooms is very telling. Also I just noticed but it's ridiculous how they dress for dinner as if they're going to a party.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sybils revenge
You mean Edith
Mary stupid to decline Marhew if she loves him
Matthew
Mary such a cow taking Anthony Strallen away from Sybil. And ignoring Marhew
Sybil?! Are you sure it's not Edith?
RECEIPT?????????????? The word should be RECIPE.
I think before those days or was called a receipt or a recipe.
From Wikipedia: "Both the words "recipe" and "receipt" come from the Latin verb recipere, which means "to receive or take". In the 17th century, both words were used to refer to cooking instructions. However, "recipe" is used by modern writers on cooking." This show is not set in the 17th century, but maybe the usage remained in whatever little village Mrs. P. comes from.

@@steverosse Hi, thanks for your comment. That is just so: I knew that both words were interchangeable in the 17th century, but not in the 20th.
