Thanks for the new thread, Lindsay.

I'm out of here until Episode 4. I wish you all fun watching the first 3 episodes. Maybe I'll go and watch them later in the year, depending on how it all will turn out.

I'm kind of excited about this season, bizarrely. I didn't really enjoy the last two, but I can see Fellowes wanting to tie things up somewhat neatly.

I have a feeling there's going to be something for everyone.

Thanks for the new thread.

I'm also excited for the new season, and I'm curious to see how the various storylines will be wrapped up.

Yes, I agree. I also think the major characters will get their happy-ish ending... I've read rumors about various characters dying and I really hope they're not true.

I thought Tom would be back by the end of episode 3?

Hopefully, if he will be, all the better and I'll be back one week earlier. We don't know really, it will be episode 3 or 4 though, that much is clear.

Thanks so much for the new thread Lindsay, tissues at the ready.

An interview with Laura on ITV today, but if the link doesn't work, apologies......Laura Carmichael on the end of Downton | Showbusiness News & Gossip | This Morning

She kept mum about any spoilers, but the good news is she'll be attending the Emmy's.

Looking forward to Tom coming back, but I'd never dream of missing those first episodes without him.

You're welcome everyone. So excited! 2 more days now!

Fair warning to everyone that I tend to post a lot after I've seen a new ep. So my apologies in advance.

Yes, me too. I have a really good feeling about this season. Like you I felt S4/S5 was stagnant and it's probably fueled by the lack of Sybil & Matthew too. The new characters were so-so for me (especially Tony) although I did like Charles & Baxter. Some of the other guest stars were unforgettable, sadly.

I can't view it but thanks for the recap. The DA twitter handle just tweeted that Penelope is at GMB right now.

Sorry you couldn't view the video Lindsay, maybe someone will post it on Youtube, one interesting thing Laura said was she really wanted Julian to bring Gregson back, as she got on so well with Charlie Edwards, I would have liked that too, so blaming JF for not giving them a happy ending.

Found this old interview with them on the same show......https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQDLl4TUzpg


ha, can understand your excitement Lindsay, getting closer and closer.
