Just finished watching that last very last Downton Abbey programme... yes it was all sloppy and sentimental, but really absorbing too.. I have enjoyed all the episodes over the years, and the actors have always given their best.. a series truly worth watching every time** It evokes a time in England when all the old ways were finishing after the first world war, and it is so interesting to return and see a little of what was lost*.. this generation that we live in, does not have the grandeur, but we have the poor and impoverished with us still..the rich are still rich and lead different lives whilst the poor get poorer... as they always said, the more it changes, the more it remains the same... the last scene of the house standing tall as ever, as the snow blankets the ground.. perfect!
Just random thoughts on my day to day world, now that I am retired.

ReplyDeleteI love Downton Abbey and will be so sad to see it end. It is just starting the last season here and I am looking forward to watching it. It is absolutely one of the best dramas I have ever seen.
ReplyDeleteyou will carry on enjoying with each episode the tensions remain and the acting superb so well worth watching!!are in a series of such length././
ReplyDeletemeant to say it was rare in such a long series to have such complete attention from the audience all the way through five seasons..
