english television.


oh my goodness. i have not been so in love with a television show since the first couple seasons of lost, but this new masterpiece theater miniseries, downton abbey has me sipping tea and wearing lace.


downton abbey is created and written by julian fellowes, well known for his oscar-winning gosford park. within the first 5 minutes of the season you find out that the titanic has sunk and with it the two heirs of this beautiful english estate, downton abbey, leaving the fate of the estate unsettled. the story begins to unfold from there as you begin to learn about the characters in the house both upstairs and downstairs.


much of the plot revolves around the three daughters: lady edith, lady jane, and lady sybil. with two sisters myself, how can i not love it?


the costumes, location and set design are a feast for the eyes. watch it. you won't be sorry.
