Penelope Wilton as Isobel Crawley

My favourite programme, look forward to Sunday nights now, hope they have already started making the next series.  Please don't kill off the old grandma though and please don't spoil it by Matthew having an affair there is already enough drama in it to suit most. 

i have never liked a series better than downton abbey,(with the exeption of when the boat comes in,i found the series very realistic even down to the snobbish behaviour of the staff,my lovely mother rest her soul was born in 1907 and went into what was called service at 12 years of age,she worked right up to the second world war for the same family, and she was in charge,she met my dad in 1940 when she was serving as a trainee nurse,while still working for the same family,my dad a royal naval officer was here in liverpool because his ship was in canada dock getting fixed he was playing football at the local football ground for the royal navy,on finnishing the game in his rush to get back to duty he knocked my mum over after picking her up he took her home the rest is history,BUT STRANGELY ENOUGH,some 33 years later i met my lovely wife at the same football club and offered her a lift home we were hit by another car the rest is history,coincidence i don't know? also my wifes birthday is no 4 mine is no 8 i was born in house no 4 she in no 48 we live in house no 4,as for downton abbey mum used to tell us story's about her life, after marrying she carried on working for the same family until the late fifties but as she said life was more flexable after the war ,she my mum was a hard working lady who worked right up to her seventies god bless her

Not real!

Yawn!!!!! Too many boring cliche period drama's on telly that I almost fell asleep talking about it... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
