Suffering from Downton Abbey withdrawal? Then check out the film Gosford Park. It was written by Julian Fellowes, who also wrote Downton.
It has an amazing cast - lots of fantastic British actors. Set in 1932 the action takes place at a country house weekend. It reminded me of Upstairs, Downstairs mixed with Poirot - lots of goings on both above stairs and in the servants' quarters. Because each of the guests brought servants who had to be accommodated in the servants hall - these visiting servants were called by their master or mistress's name - makes sense, really.
Good to see that Sunday night TV is still worth tuning into with the return of Garrow's Law - absolutely brilliant!
Love, Liz

Gosforth Park is a great film! I wish they'd do more of the Upstairs Downstairs remakes too.
Ooh, looks interesting!!
Thank you for this tip, we are watching Downton , last episode on sunday. And i've ordered tickets for a homecoming, greatly looking forward to it. Home for 8 days!!
Enjoy your week.
I've always wanted to see Gosford Park, but have not had the pleasure of doing so yet. Now, I'm surely going to pursue it.

I must be the only person who hasn't seen any of Downton - having missed all of the first series for one reason or another, I decided not to watch the second until I have seen the first on DVD. Haven't managed to find the time to do that yet either! M x
Marina - you must watch the first series on dvd - that's what I did and then I couldn't wait for the second series. I'm sure you'll love it!

I haven't watched either of them Liz but I will eventually. At the moment I am in the middle of a Johnathon Creek DVD fest. Not sure why I like it, but I do. Alot.
