Downton Abbey Downer!!

Post by MarkCDodd »

My kids were already upset at the stupid ending of Merlin.

They cheered up a bit with an excellent Dr Who Xmas special.

They were loving Downton Abbey till the last 5 minutes.

What a miserable way to end what was a fairly upbeat episode!!!

Have to agree Mark - on behalf of the Grandkids - Merlin was a complete letdown - The Doctor was Brilliant.

On behalf of me - didn't even record Downton - didn't watch all of the last series - boring .....
There's no place like home ......

Happy new father one minute. Dead under his car the next. So now we have a little girl without a mother already at Downton and now her first cousin is without his father.

Aaaaaahhhhh!! Haven't watched Merlin yet so DON'T SAY ANYMORE until I've watched it. Had to read the posts line by line very very slowly in case there was mention of Merlin.

Apparently they killed Matthew off because he wanted to leave the show way back in February.

What do you think of Lady Mary and Tom getting together???..................................Nope, don't think so.

That would make the ex Chauffeur the owner of Downton Abbey!

Besides, she likes Turkish Delight, not Irish WHisky :lol:
