Daisy's character arc was beautiful and so multi layered through the series. This plot line with William is tragic and sublime
multi layered? she was always too stupid for her own good
She seems, to me at least, to (have) be(en) a narcisist and/or a sociopath, not much unlike ELLIOT RODGER.
its not tragic, william is a moron who effectively walks into his own death for no reason
I feel like the whole series is around her. We follow the Crawley’s stories parallel to Daisy’s career. Like we’re reading through her diary and fantasising up what she didn’t know.
I thought she was a self centered immature dolt
8:43 Man i love it when Robert gets fired up.
So well-written and acted. The whole production had high standards and I believe that's what made it so acclaimed world-wide.
I never tire of seeing it.
100% you are.
I loved Daisy. She reminds me of my great granny, she was literally doing the same as her at the time. Not the dramatic stuff but the working in service then getting and education etc
'He doesn't need you no more, Daisy He doesn't need none of us no more ... ' 😢
Stunning costumes. Many were original. Elegance personified.
I liked that costumes were reused in line with time frame (clothes used linger during war). In so many shows an outfit is seen once and never again.
11:15-14:00 The epitome of "All gave some, some gave All." 💜
I'm in a 'can't get enough of Downtown' period. Such blissful escape 😊
Same here.
And me as well. Just hearing the music makes me want to watch all 6 seasons again.
Daisy is and has become an astounding character
The whole white feather thing in WW1 did nothing but guilt-trip young men into essentially walking to their deaths. If those women were so adamant to join, they should've campaigned to do so, like so many other women did at the time, or joined the auxiliary nurses, or something productive.
This
Such stupid activists were already there, used by the elites to deceive people. They were puppets of the system to feed the fire of wars and conflicts.
Loved that Sybil was the last child. Even Dragon recognizes her special position
Oh no, here come the tears only to be followed by the problem of my nose. DA is a masterpiece! How the characters tortured and frustrated us, made us laugh and swoon. I need to rewatch the series again!
I cant see this and then just not spend the day watching the show all over again while i shirk all my responsibilities 😅
Same here.
@@the8thchurch461same!
Agreed
Same here! Because of work I missed most of this series. Is there a way buy the series?
@@lupechacon-florez7520 depends where you're located. I bought all the DVDs a while back from PBS, but Amazon probably has it also.
Downton Abbey/Only Fools and Horses, no matter how many times I am watching, I feel the great feelings again and again, the british tv production is something unique.
Who doesn't like British humor while maintaining a balance in life is sometimes hard to do for everyone?
The parts shown in this clip alone are enough to convey the futility, silliness and absolute cruelty of the First World War. Even knowing the history of how that war came about, I still cannot understand for what exactly we were fighting for. An utterly pointless war that should never have happened and only served to set the stage for despot fascists to start the second. I suppose the whole point of Downtown Abbey starting its story in the 1910s was to highlight the period that saw not only the fall of empires, but also the emancipation not only of women but of the working classes of Europe and the demise of the aristocracy with many European countries seeing a complete abolition of their monarchies. Most extreme of course in Russia which went from a monarchy to a one party dictatorship in one full sweep. This being highlighted by when Martha greets Violet after the war and refers to 'monarchies fall and yet the bride cannot see the groom the night before the wedding' (not an accurate quote). Yet, here we are again with the winds of war blowing in eastern Europe and the Middle East and I wonder if we have the sense and strength to avoid it becoming something bigger. Perhaps not this time, perhaps not next time, but it is probably sadly only a matter of time before it happens. What should be an 'if' remains at large a 'when'. Despite the human race being the most intelligent on this planet, we also strong traits of being at times, the most stupid.
a fool who goes to war voluntarily, why would you do that to yourself? no self-love, no self-respect
Well said.
I like how they hate the bagpipes and can’t hide their distain - but put on a stiff upper lip
Imagine getting piped awake at 8am
The late Queen did this in her Scottish home!
😮😮😮😮😮
Gosh I miss this show.
12:00 you know ow it's sad when O'brien is hold back tears
It still makes me furious that Robert told the jury about Bates’ “or better still, the late” comment. He had to know what that would sound like to the jury and he had to also know Bates didn’t really mean it, to the point where it could never be proper evidence against him.
TV, hun, TV! It’s what my roommate always tells me when I get flustered with a show. Robert was reticent in testifying regarding conversations with Bates. The prosecutor had information that Bates freely admitted. Robert couldn’t have known what Bates had actually said and he was under oath. In reality, police and prosecutors rarely ask questions they don’t already know the answer to during interrogations and trials. Lawyers and Law School professors say unequivocally do not agree to be interviewed by the police without a lawyer. Because during that process they could use anything you say to implicate you. At the very least, your lawyer is your witness to their treatment of you.
He was under oath, and the prosecution already had the conversation on record be sure Bates told them about it. Much like Mrs. Hughes testimony, he had no choice. Remember, people were far more devout back then, so when you took an oath to tell the truth and swore to God, you didn't betray that for anything.
What infuriates me is Bates told the cops about an incriminating, private conversation that no one knew about.
Also I believe that back then defendants were considered guilty until proven innocent. If you go back and watch the episodes about the case you'll see that they had little to nothing to prove Bates was guilty, but that doesn't really matter. If you looked guilty back then, you're treated as guilty until you could prove otherwise.
Unfortunately as the case will always be, people will always prefer a dead hero over a live "coward".
Exactly
volunteering yourself into war deserves a Darwin award for being a total moron.
I love how Shrimpy is the only one smiling when the bagpiper is playing 😅
1:25 they’re barely keeping it together. You know it’s something when Maggie Smith is struggling to keep a straight face.
If posh people use bagpipes for an alarm clock thank god I'm a commoner 😂
AMEN! 😂
I have dogs. 😂
@@qdllc I had a cat that was my alarm clock. He'd crawl right up to my face and paw at it till I woke up. If that didn't work he'd nibble my toes. I Miss You Angel 🐈⬛.
I have a dog, but she does not wake up until 10 o' clock and then she needs snuggles and cuddles
What I wish is to revisit the TV series. It's not on my streaming services. I keep hoping Masterpiece Theatre will show it again soon. My all time favorite TV series!
I bought the DVDs.
Our local library has the compete set of DVDs to borrow. Is that an option where you live?
Britbox, Peacock, and Prime Video have it. Of course, you have to subscribe to them if available to you.
Amazon prime has it
netflix uk has it
Robert did not have to rat out Bates like that in court. Bate's statement about his wife couldn't have been proven anyway. After all Bates has done for Robert, even saving his life, this was a low blow for Robert's character.
A person of honor does not lie. Bates DID say it. He was later proven innocent through another truth called science. The thing is, if Robert had lied and they could prove it, then everything said would be discounted and worth nothing, even the good stuff and Lord Grantham branded a liar for life. Perhaps lying is second nature to you. It's a sad state of affairs these days that people lie through their teeth, thinking it is acceptable. Well, it isn't and never will be.
It seems Bates has already confessed it during the interview. If Robert makes a false statement, that would be perjury, an actual crime for which he can go to jail.
Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦 thanks for the presentation, I agree with idea of downton abbey will return to WNED PBS I don't have any special TV stations like prime
00:54 From this we can infer the following facts:
1) Dragon understands English PERFECTLY well.
2) And Dragon VERY MUCH does not want to be boiled for glue. 😂
0:01-1:00 "She's not like my sister's."
O dear have you swallowed a dictionary ?
9:27 That is the moment that convince me that Edith deserve Mary's treatment. Before this I always assume that Mary is just being a big sister.
1:00-2:16 Between the look on the Dowager's face and Lord Grantham's lamination in the morning. I can't figure out which is most soul satisfying.
I need my Downton Abby fix. ❤
Now it's all laid out like this it's clear to see the writers loved the ol bait and switch of people's wishes that backfire on them 😂
The payoff is often bittersweet like reality, life often works out differently than we imagind
William was a great character
Daisy could be difficult.
Daisy dithering over William went on for far too long.
After the light ( kimberly Clarke Sharpe)❤
Branson should've been like "actually I want you lot to lose" lol see what they'd do.
I never understood how Ivy was meant to so much prettier than Daisy. They looked so alike that I sometimes had trouble telling them apart.😂
With you, this year, next year, year after year😊🥪🧅🫒🥚
Shrimpie is such a handsome man. What the hell was Rose's mother's problem
Everyone embrace their evil twin ❤
After the light Kimberly Clarke Sharpe ❤
What is Mrs Crawley doing in court. She's certainly everywhere, it's annoying. She literally inserted herself in every single aspect of their lives, aggravating
Elmers glue
🙂 💯
Anyone else think it's sort of screwed up Daisy was peer pressured into marriage?
😢
I hated this all Daisy/William storyline cause it was all Miss Patmore doing, she basically forced Daisy to get married to William when she clearly didn't want to, and wasn't in love with him AT ALL !! .
Can I stay, here in 4 that inmiddle
The rich were so out of touch and downton abbey portrays the sickness of the time
That's a bit of a sweeping statement. In what respect were the rich so out of touch?
🥰😇😍🤩😘
It just occurred to me, but technically could Daisy and William’s marriage be invalidated due to non-consummation? I know even today you can request an annulment due to non-consummation (although this reason is often invalidated if the “wronged” party knew the other party could not do their “martial duties” before marriage). I’m just wondering if back then the Army could request proof of consummation before issuing Daisy’s widow benefits
It was the 20th century. I highly doubt any couple retain proof of consummation
No, it absolutely couldn't
I don’t think so - iirc there were some elderly civil war veterans who married very young women during the late 19th or early 20th century, and this “marriage” was only conducted so that the women would be eligible for those benefits.
@@saberthecoolest no offense but what would US Civil war vets have to do with post WWI UK?
