Nobody in the UK can have helped noticing or knowing that for the last eight weeks the final series of Downton Abbey has been screened at 9pm on a Sunday evening.
I’ve been an avid viewer of the series since it first hit our screens in 2010. I would consider myself a big fan and I’ve hardly missed any of the episodes. However, that is probably where the problem lies. Last night’s series finale was not only far too long, being 100 minutes, but it was also a…

The Real England is a concise, direct, and not-so-gentle window into the depths of the leftovers of the world’s once greatest empire. It is told from the perspective of one lone (or not so lone) long term visitor. It informs one of the dregs of the country and helps to explain quaint British oddities such as the crack addicted chav.

Thanks so much for featuring my recent post about Downton Abbey, Sarah. I really appreciate it.
Best wishes,
Hugh
Ha! If you look at the categories at the top of FND, you’ll see Theatre (this blog) and History, which is my third blog! It was a pleasure to re-blog, Hugh. I found the series addictive to begin with but gave up after the third series!
Just realised I’ve answered your comment on About with the above answer!
Just goes to show that I really should start using my glasses when reading blogs, Sarah. I’m delighted to have found this blog of yours as I absolutely love theatre, films and TV.
I’m delighted to know that, Hugh. Yes, glasses. Bugbear of the rapidly ageing! I’m longing for my cataract operation which is set for the end of January. 🙂
I only saw the first two seasons. But the costumes and sets were to die for. Mega hugs Sarah — and Hugh too.
Most certainly!
I make sure I get the DVD from UK in November every year so I can watch it asap – as usually in Australia in comes months after UK 😀 Love the series too
I agree, Teagan. The sets and costumes are amazing. I only wish some of the storylines and plots in the series were the same. However, I’m still addicted to the show.
