Just before we headed back from Crete, Greek TV was showing
episodes of various British (or English speaking) TV shows. They had Call the
Midwife, Downton Abbey, Upstairs Downstairs and Wallander. I avoided the last
of these because I didn’t want to see all the emoting, but watched the first
two and enjoyed them both. Back here we borrowed the first series of Downton
Abbey from Caroline’s parents and have nearly watched it all the way through.
I know it probably doesn’t do much for my street cred but I’m
enjoying it immensely and want to see the rest. Nice one Mr Fellows.

First series is great. It then gets a little bit 'soap opera' for me...
Mrs Phil watches it and enjoys it, not enough violence and aliens for me though
That's where so many series go, Darren. I remember watching things like Casualty, The Bill and Holby City before they made that transformation.
Light and shade, Phil M. Having enjoyed Downton Abbey I can now turn to Prometheus with a clear conscience.
I have to add something here. It's blatantly obvious that the two bad guys amidst the servants at Downton Abbey are the smokers. It's only them you see chuffing on cigarettes outside in the courtyard as they discuss their dastardly plots. This in a time when just about everyone smoked. How's that for a nice bit of politically correct subliminal indoctrination?
