Downton Abbey

I just love it. Maybe because I already loved Upstairs-Downstairs. It is so much fun, well not all fun. With the Great War, the Inheritance Problem, Bates and his - fortunately and finally late - first wife....

But Dame Maggie Smith in herself is a winner. She is a genius. Every film I have seen with her so far just showed off the talent. Great!

Hugh Bonneville, too. He is great. I have seen several Films with him and heard one radio-show as well.

So far I have only seen the first two series and the christmas-special, but as soon, as the next DVD-Box is out, I'll buy it. And then watch it in about one go.

I can't watch it now, because I can't watch via my PC. It already doesn't like YouTube anymore and switches itself off and I do have a very fast connection... :-(
Well, was getting a new computer anyway. So there is no real worry. And DVDs are possible.

In the third Series there is Shirley MacLaine (I am never sure if I spell that right), she is great, too and she is almost exactly my Moms age. I say almost, because I know neiter, when my Mom was born (the hour, I mean), nor at what time of day Shirley MacLaine was born. But who cares.

All the other actors are great talents as well. I just don't know them so well. But it was sure nice to get to know them now.

Anyway, I love the series and I will not wait patiently for the DVD-Box...
