Jackson, much of Sundays episode would have been better understood had you seen the first 2 series We really need mr bates to be freed already because that storyline is drab. Anna is at her best when they're out & about together! Maggie pulled some terrific faces in Sundays episode I blooming hope she's in the Christmas special this year I want mr molesly to be Matthews valet, bless him And I'm looking forward to Edith's storyline next week, the trailer looked very promising

Oh, I understood it, that was part of the problem...

Downton Abbey is fabulous. I love it. End of.

I'm wondering if Bates did actually kill his wife after all.

 

Fans of the show were given a hint of possibly nuptials at the end of last  Sunday's episode, when a trailer for the third show in the current series showed  shots of Edith, played by Laura Carmichael, preparing for what appeared to be a  wedding.

The clips followed an episode in which she declared her love for Sir Anthony  Strallan (Robert Bathurst) and her intention for them to be husband and wife -  despite the disapproval of her family and the fact she is around 25 years his  junior.

Lady Edith has been  unlucky in love during previous series of Downton

And the photos would appear to confirm that the wedding is taking place in  spite of their objections, with Hugh Bonneville's Earl of Grantham leading Edith up the aisle, as well as solo  shots of Edith in her wedding dress.

Away from the nuptials, however, the stage is set for drama as Mrs Hughes  receives the results of her medical tests, while Anna makes further attempts to  prove Bates's innocence.

Meanwhile Julian Fellowes has hinted that he is planning to write a prequel to the show,  which will focus on the early days of the Earl and Countess of Grantham's  courtship, and feature younger actors playing the roles currently played by Hugh  Bonneville and Elizabeth McGovern.

The writer explained his plans at the Bafta Screenwriters Lecture series,  saying, 'I do actually have an idea of doing a prequel of the courtship of  Robert and Cora, when all those American heiresses were arriving in London.

'They had a slightly troubled courtship, because she was in love with him  before they married, as we know, and he married her entirely for her money.'

Fellowes added that the show would most likely be broadcast once Downton had  finished its run.

Sir Anthony is such a jolly good egg.

Corrie was really good tonight I thought

If you fancy booking the Castle http://www.carrhallcastle.co.uk/book-the-castle/ 

That crossed my mind too Col, i wouldnt blame him if he did, nasty woman. 

She was nasty, but his relationship with (Joanne Frogatt) is built on such trust. I'd hate to be proved right.

I know, that would be sad. Maybe someone murdered her so he got the blame..Thomas perhaps. It will all come out in the wash, as they say  Looking forward to tomorrows episode 

Me too.

I was 'Downton' way last night. My lovely, amazing, majestic (very much in the good books) husband surprised me by booking a table at Marco Pierre White's Carnarvon Arms in Highclere for dinner last night. The food was great and Marco came out to say hello and I got a hug. He smelled lush...a mixture of Chanel and food.

I'll go back in the daytime one day to have a look at the actual house.

I now officially HATE you.       Lucky, lucky thing - what a lovely hubby you have.

Ha Kaffers! I don't think he came out especially for me. He was doing the rounds talking to a big group having a birthday party. I just made a grab for him when he was on the way back to the kitchen (I was sober too). According to our waiter, he's there all the time now so we'll definitely be going back in the next few months

oh wait.. are you talking about tonight's show or erin's spoiler (I've not read the spoiler)

good episode, Baz, wasn't it?  Looks like the chauffeur's no protective husband either.

I can't see them very well Erinp But is she the one right at the back ?

The answer given is seventh from the left.

I wonder if that's their left, or our left

Lady Sybil is third from the left.

I would post the link but it's a hub full of spoilers Baz.

I had kipper paté with whiskey to start and then mackerel for a main Summer. I'm trying to eat more fish and less red meat so it was ideal. My husband had a massive steak and a whole bottle of wine to himself, so I drove home. I didn't mind because I'm breastfeeding at the moment anyway.

Daisy's there far right, and the one in the gold satins looks like poor, unfortunate and dead Lavinia.
