But Jane, that is exactly what the upper classes did in those times; pose. Jane Austen made an excellent living out of sending up those types earlier, in all her novels did she not?. Poor thing even had to revert to a pseudonym initially for fear of reprisals and failure to be published at all. Re visit Maggie Smith's excellent one liners and surprisingly those of Cora's American Mum who is not doing too bad a job of it either.

"Downtons bad boy is back". Hmm,I take it then that the script writers were around in the early 20th century to gain firsthand knowledge re "bad boys". OR, ahemm, are they just making it up.........??

Anna and her husband, maybe one or two more, are the only characters that are convincing. They are the only two who don't look like they are constantly posing. There's just 'something' that makes the REALLY good actors in this production, lack depth and believability. I care about none of them and this is a shame, as I usually love period dramas. It looks good and the costumes are splendid BUT that alone, cannot carry it for me. Adding [predictably] a Hollywood great, has just made it panto-ish!
The productions may not have been as grand but I STILL watch re-runs of Upstairs Downstairs and All Creatures Great and Small. I love, laugh and cry with all the characters. I care about them. They are GEMS! They had such warmth and deph.
It must be to do with production. I don't know! I'm not an old fuddy duddy. My children [now grown up] watch the re-runs too and they say they knock spots off the Downton showpiece.
I'll keep on trying though. It beats X [Z] Factor plus that, now awful, dancing show.
