Here comes the clash of the titans! Oscar-winning actress Shirley MacLaine (now 78 years of age) and Maggie Smith (who is a year younger) will share numerous scenes in this series of Downton Abbey. I'm sure all of these will be acting masterclasses. Take note, thespians!

It would of been great if they had done womans rights, as far as I'm aware woman were fighting for rights then the war came along so they settled down. But it would of been good if they had shown that period in Downton Abbey.

Try as I may I cannot watch Downton Abbey, I know it is history. the cast superb and all that, but an awful sense of deja vu, seen it all before, claustrophobia, and a strong desire to watch something else takes over. It may be an age thing, but personally I have moved on from this era.
