Well, I've only caught a few bits of this show before but tonight I decided to go for the lot. It's a little bit like the 'owd 'Upstairs Downstairs' on acid. Anyway, I'm a bit puzzled....with a big estate like that, what's happened to all the gardening staff? Did they all sign up en masse - like at Sandringham - go to the front and get massacred? Presumably that's in some episode I missed.

And what's this buisness with the bloke turning up with his face burnt off? Where did he come from? It looks like Baron Fellowes has nicked this bit of the story line straight from the Tichborne case. I'll see what happens next week, because I should be back in Church & its no pub for me on a sunday night.

...and one other bit. Did anyone see that advert for perfume with Keira Knightley? I'm amazed they put that on....she used to be a smart tart, now she looks like she's just crawled out of Belsen concentration camp. Someone needs to get her fattened up, fast.
