No greater scene ever recorded for television than the Sybil tragedy. A new bar was set for ensemble acting. Nothing will ever be more shocking and compelling.
@northwestprof60 I guess over 100 people agree with the statement. I'm not alone. Name a scene that packs a similar extended dramatic effect, without blood and guts being shot all over the place. I've seen a lot in my long life so far. Nothing quite like the Sybil scene. And don't watch these things on your frickin phone.
Love Downton Abbey and the talent and "class" they all bring to the screen. Amazing writing, balance and timing. It's wonderful entertainment and without the "garbage" seen so often on the big screen these days. Can't wait to see the next movie. Best wishes to all and thank you for the opportunity to enjoy more Downton Abbey.
He's very good in an Irish comedy, "Man about Dog", it's extremely funny but also specifically Irish. Was a big hit here, not sure if others will get the accents though. Anyway that's my tuppence worth.
Sadly Michelle dosent sound anything like Mary but she really does the accent so well but was so disappointed she dosent really sound like that.I love Marys Accent
I just binge watched the entire series during a recent illness. It didn’t matter that I’ve seen it all before…it felt new. I do miss the waiting for a new episode!
Truly loved this side of Allen....so funny!And they all still love you,after you impersonate them....what a great bunch you all are!The best show ever..thanks for that.🤩🥰🙋♀️
Always enjoyed any scene he was in ! That mischievous look ! And yes, what a Touch of Class, Downton Abbey brought into our homes, with all the ragged drivel one sees on TV.
Allen talking about learning Yorkshire accent. Tristan Rogers worked on an American accent for General Hospital, then the producers want him to use his native Australian accent.
I'm sure he can but as far as I can remember, he hasn't. During Imitation Game press junket, he did most interviews with Goode so he didn't need to. He's done Rami Malek tho.
I love how well he does Julian Fellowes. Edit - surname changed, lol. Though I wouldn't be surprised if he could do Julian Firth as well. (Also an English actor).
It's more than Downtown Abby for Dame Maggie, she's also held up on High as Professor McGonagall on the Harry Potter Movie Series. That opens her up to the younger ones.
The Julian Fellowes impression is of course fantastic, but the Downton Abbey/The Thick of It fandom will appreciate Allen's take on David Haig (Steve Fleming). LITTLE MAN!! LIGHT-NING BOLT!
I see through the other comments there's a queue for Allen Leech. I claim my place in it! I'm glad I haven't met him yet, as I wouldn't be able to conceal my attraction towards him. For some reason, I always fall for straight guys the hardest. Enough about me... Allen is as hilarious as he is handsome and charismatic. I agree with the other comment which said Allen should get into comedy. He'd be amazing at it. They should build in his impressions into the Downton scripts lol! Imagine Branson imitating Lady Violet :D
I think the House itself was the star of Downton Abbey. The actors brought it to life. Had it been all filmed on sets i dont think it would have done as well...
Couldn’t agree more, really didn’t like her character at all. She was so horrible to Robert. I guess Tom liked a strong woman, but she was just too much.
0:12 It was a soap opera. Well, to be kinder or more accurate, it started as a drama series which got ever soapier as it progressed. They were right to knock it on the head when they did.
I love Allen Leach for everything he does, he's also easy on the eyes! Hope to see him again .
And then some.
It's a shame he keeps getting FATTER and FATTER.
Yes I agree. I'd like to * him
He is a wonderful actor.
You can see his face and hear his accent when you watch Niall Horan.
"She came down with an awful bout of bad contract negotiations." Love it. Wish more of them would just be honest about it. lol

Always wondered what happened! Her death was so unexpected and sudden. I assumed she was leaving to do movies. 🤷♀️
Priceless
It was really a shame that Sybil left the show so early. Her character really brings a lot of sparkles to the show.
@@gemmab8626 Her death was so tragic too. Taught us a huge lesson on preeclampsia though.

You're kidding, right? I'm guessing you don't have much of a grasp of the entire corpus of television, do you?

Incredibly gifted agility in his acting, so laser focused I could almost see the swiftness of his thoughts.
Everytime I see anything to do with Downton Abbey I think of the Graham Norton/Bill Murray/Matt Damon interview. Best interview ever.

Allen Leach is just too adorable. 🥰
He is!

Absolutely Adorable.
He's showing off I think ..sorry my opinion ...I do love him as Tom on the show though
@@rashidahr4043he is an actor! Have you never met one? It's what they do.
He is truly handsome and with great personality killer combo!
Tom was one of my favourite guys in DA, and the most handsome one ever.
Just love this show and miss it, alan leech is just so handsome funny and very very charming, ❤
Loved watching these clips. Allen Leach is delightful!
Gosh, he's adorable. Small wonder Lady Sybil fell for him.
He's not only very handsome he's also hilarious. So why doesn't somebody in the business put him in a comedy?
Handsome yes but Ian McKellen does a much better Maggie Smith. Who has never seen DA, btw.
I don't think it's nice at all making fun of them especially Julian it's like he's momocking him bit cruel
And NO ONE could mimic Maggie Smith
Sadly Michelle dosent sound anything like Mary but she really does the accent so well but was so disappointed she dosent really sound like that.I love Marys Accent
@@jamesgough3938I'm sure he does
10:29 when you can see michelle go to give him a smack but realizes she has an audience 😂
I just binge watched the entire series during a recent illness. It didn’t matter that I’ve seen it all before…it felt new. I do miss the waiting for a new episode!
Giraffe at the water hole, lol.
Allen's mimicry is brilliantly hilarious. Thanks!

@@guyincognito8440 wouldn't that have been great?
I wonder if Julian was happy he made him sound a bit silly not nice at all
Painfully charming and completely adorable. Swoon. Sigh.
SAME.
I think he is fabulous...
Never tire of "Downtown Abbey"...
🇿🇦
Just love Allan leech, he is so funny
I miss the series, enjoyed all the characters.
_Rome,_ _The Tudors,_ and _Downton Abbey_ - pretty good career thus far. Top notch series. I've seen 'em all in their entirety.
The Imitation Game and Bohemian Rhapsody as well
Yes!!! They are wonderful shows!
Good Lord, he's both talented and gorgeous.
Oh my word. He’s hysterical!
I so love him and the show.
“Posh Soap“ 😂😂😂😂
Always enjoyed any scene he was in ! That mischievous look ! And yes, what a Touch of Class, Downton Abbey brought into our homes, with all the ragged drivel one sees on TV.
Why would the actress playing Sybil ever want to stop acting with this gorgeous gorgeous hilarious man?! She must have been bonkers!
Dude is so Irish, no bs, funny as hell..
All that's missing is a well timed and well executed explicitive.
@@TSquared2001 and a pint
@@l.sophia2803 now how on Earth did I miss that one?
@@TSquared2001 and a glass 🥃 of Jameson
Fantastic compilation. So funny. Thank you.
you're welcome. i had fun doing it.
@@cycl5168 Tom Branson is my favourite male character. It's tough to choose a favourite female character
He's someone who is adorable 🥰..
Can I be his first???
He does the BEST accents EVER!! LOVE HIM (Bad contract negotiations..... 😆!!)
I don't like his Maggie Smith but I do love his Robert James Collier. It is spot on.
Kevin Doyle (Mosely) is from a town that is a rival to my own home town, when I found that out I questioned him being my favourite character XD
Adorabile Allen❤😂❤😂❤😂❤😂❤😂❤😂

His impression of Rob was amazing
Never knew he was so funny! Lol. He's so cute.
I have seen this so many times nd it is just hilarious every time ! Love it !!
He's sooooo adorable.
So much fun, thanks for posting!
I love that man!
We just binge watched all 6 seasons as we had not watched it before. It was sooo good and we are seeing the new movie too!!
Did the same 2 weeks ago. Couldn't stop watching.
Charming Allen😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hysterically funny! The best impersonator since Rich Little!
Not quite. Imo.
He is absolutely gorgeous in every way.
His Impression on Maggie sounds just like my history teacher, and I've told my history teacher that he remains me of her 😂
'they should rub you out and start again.' So funny
that was great good to see them as themselves
He’s a delight.
His Robert ¨We´ll try that again, ok?¨ is absolutely perfect!!!!!!
He should be in comedy 😂
Great, great guy - obviously very popular with fellow cast members. I wonder if he can "do" Matthew Goode?
W0ulw love to see it, yes I am a Yank, that might be why I can't talk
I'm sure he can but as far as I can remember, he hasn't. During Imitation Game press junket, he did most interviews with Goode so he didn't need to. He's done Rami Malek tho.
I'd love to "do" Matthew Goode. Or vice-a-versa. Wait... are you just talking about impressions?
@@davidwelch8288 Don't be vulgar - impressions.
@@davidwelch8288 Ha ha ha, yep, with you on that one ;-)
i am his third biggest fan!
Love him!!! ❤️
11:05 I can see Rob’s face as he says that “ I won’t try that again ok
Brilliant at impersonating!!! 😮
Handsome and funny!
Allen Leech could play Dave Allen, the way he spins a story.
I love how well he does Julian Fellowes.
Edit - surname changed, lol. Though I wouldn't be surprised if he could do Julian Firth as well. (Also an English actor).
who?
Julian Fellowes?
just fabulous
National treausure at the back and me at the wheel 🤣
that's amazing! Thank you
Allen is gorgeous and he has a fantastic sense of humor . I just adore his accent 🥰🥰🥰
It's more than Downtown Abby for Dame Maggie, she's also held up on High as Professor McGonagall on the Harry Potter Movie Series. That opens her up to the younger ones.
I wonder how many people searched TH-cam for Teresa May's curtsey after that story
I did!! :)
Yep. Got me as well 😏
Me too 😃
He seems to be the guy everyone in the cast likes to hang around with. They all seem lovely to each other.
I like that guy.
Allen Leech. He is brilliant, hope he survives the backlash from his fellow actors…love it.
Allen is wonderful as an actor but epsecially as a person.
The Julian Fellowes impression is of course fantastic, but the Downton Abbey/The Thick of It fandom will appreciate Allen's take on David Haig (Steve Fleming). LITTLE MAN!! LIGHT-NING BOLT!

I think the House itself was the star of Downton Abbey. The actors brought it to life. Had it been all filmed on sets i dont think it would have done as well...
I think Tom's hotter than Matthew.
Absolutely and that accent too! He’s just yummy!
8:13 I’ve just done something very clever. 😂😂
Great video!
he is SOO funny
Branson's my favorite. 🌹
Maggie throwing shade off screen too lol
Lol Allen leach is great
He cracks Michelle up!
Very talented.
You just can feel the love!!😍
If they ever do a Father Ted remake, Leechy would be a natural as Dougal..:)
Maggie Smith is and always will be Gunilla Garson Goldberg. She was Gunilla long before she was the Dowager.
Too cute.
I'm glad he didn't end up with Sarah Bunting.
Anyway, a very likable actor, in a great show.
God yes, she was awful. Really horrible woman.
Couldn’t agree more, really didn’t like her character at all. She was so horrible to Robert. I guess Tom liked a strong woman, but she was just too much.
@@jessart6988 Tom made the right choice with Sybil and later Lucy Smith

1:26 is that Mrs. Patmore? wow
He is so cute.
He and Rob should do a podcast 😂😂
Allen Leech is a comedian.
He is really funny
He is really very funny. I liked him as Branson but he’s quite the comedian as well.
he is so cute
Thomas is a good character for this show
Very nice...
He's so good at Rob I- XD
I love him
