I love & loathe it...


Its interiors are spot on, the decorating is like a page from World of Interiors, the colouring & filming are bloomin marvelous too


I just wish it wasn't sooooooo slick, I like a wobbly set or an out of period font here & there but so far I've not spotted anything untoward ( yet )


The plots & story lines are like a period Eastenders mixed with Monarch of the Glen ( or Piloc of the Glen as it was known in our house ) & I can't help laughing at Maggie Smith & her fantasticly over the top characterisation


ITV have spent a fortune making this & shows

It's also bedding in nicely on a Sunday night at Woof Towers

It is a very good, period drama I would also like to see if they will develop some of the below stairs characters as in the last episode when one of the maids wanted to become a secretary. It will be good to see how this goes further as domestic services was a life of drudgery in that time period for the working classes.

My money is on the gay butler Thomas (who thought joining the medical corps would spare him any front line horror) finding himself in a front line trench with one of the sons, Mathew Crawley would be about right, and then saves his life in no man's land. Earl Robert, Matt's dad, is so thankful he promotes Thomas to Valet on his return - the position he's always wanted which rubs up the servants no end, esp Mr. Carson (who Thomas had tried to set up for theft)........shall I stop there? lol....

I do reckon there'll be a room/hall/door which will be painted in...

Downton Abbey? Really? Oh well, I suppose this is meant in a 'guilty pleasures' kind of a way.


I may record it and skip through to scenes with Maggie Smith in but otherwise I shall be tuning in to the last series of Spooks (I prefer the preposterous to the pompous). Now THERE the (wipe-clean) wallpaper will all be double sided and the colours constantly shifting...

      I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.

      I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided.

      does either of them have a surgery? probably not over summer, but I thought they had to give the opportunity for their constituents to meet them.
