My favorite Maggie Smith line is, "A Peer in favor of reform is like a turkey in favor of Christmas." I love the entire cast; they're very talented. Great ensemble effort. ❤😊
Besides Maggie Smith, the best part of Downton Abbey is that we see history being unfold in every series & it showcases the excellence of excellent British humor. Having a perfect cup of tea while watching Downton Abbey is a sure bet for a pleasant evening.
I didn’t know about DA early on, it wasn’t til I saw the movie and love it. I told a friend and she told me about the series. I was overjoyed, it was so enjoyable that I had to binge watch it. The cast is amazing, all of them!
A friend of mine told me about the series just a month ago. After devouring the first season on hulu, then buying season two on amazon and watching that (in two sittings), I texted my friend as follows "Thanks a lot. I'm now blind, and speaking with a British accent." I admit, I go back to certain episodes and watch them. I think the entire cast is amazing, believable, and talented. I hope you all go on to other wonderful, successful and satisfying roles.
Everyone loves maggie smith from ages 7 to age 70 people love her wit and delivery and of course her facial expressions! she has done every thing in film, i have so much respect for her. She also throws the best shade, sly and in a deliberate voice as well!
I LOVE Joanne’s hair here. It’s GORGEOUS. Love this show so much. Still miss it and wish it had never ended. So I’ve watched the entire series through about 20 times. And counting 😉 it’s a world and place I never get tired of visiting ❤️
Julian Fellows is an incredibly brilliant, infinitely talented, very hardworking, immensely kind and humble human being. With an amazing mind and gift for bringing richly drawn characters from specific bygone eras into bright life.
I love Dan Stevens as he appears to be quite shy, but can muscle it up when he is provoked. Great quote about Dee-troit! Excellent actor and love Elizabeth's Maggie Smith impersonation! Lady Mary is always a gift from heaven!
Elizabeth made me realize how rich Maggie Smith made their experience. We just see a few memorable parts, but they WORKED with her. As she and Jodi Dence about their first working together, "I remember laughter."
I adore Downton Abbey and it's wonderful history and characters! I wish Dan Stevens had NEVER left and caused Matthew's subsiquent death. Such a great loss; could have taken the storyline in so many different directions!
Watch his various theatrical endeavors. He brings so much to each, so much so that it's hard to believe that the same actor portrays them all. A true thespian. So few in the profession.
for the most solemn dame, Maggie Smith cracks me up throughout the show, i have to put on the screen caption just to make sure i don't miss out on any of her lines...whoever's responsible for the cast - BRAVO! - they made marvelous choices, we all have our preferences of characters but i think that they all played their roles well (makes one so lost in time and story) thank you PBS and pleeease keep up the good work.
Maggie Smith is a Dame and brilliant actress and in her 70s and she's Minerva McGonagall. She can do whatever she wants. Mere mortals should not throw shade at Dame Maggie Smith
Most people only see “the fossility”of the aristocracy and love to see the transition to the modern times which is represented in the three daughters of Lord Granthom and the service staff. But they don’t realize what is lost in values and a living in a small and strong community. I think, this is where unconsciously lies the real attraction of the series.
People with good taste are everywhere, I'm from Colombia South America and enjoy this series. I've watch a lot of British series so I do understand a little British Culture, but to enjoy the show, the characters, the extremely great scenarios, the wardrobe , photograph,music you don't really need to understand the culture, your senses just enjoy the beauty.
I've never seen a man blush before. So nice to see. I assume the dress Michelle was talking about was the beautiful ivory dress she was wearing when Dan (Matthew) was eyeing her from behind and she turned around to see him at the door. It definately looked stunning. Good question on the costumes. Love Dan and MIchelle. They're all great.
Truer words: "Great storytelling is great storytelling. Great characters are great characters. And whether they are dealing crack or serving tea...if it's good you'll get into it."
Such an amazing show. And it´s true, has something special, original in between all the other TV shows. I think that the wonderful script is that magic element. Congratulations and I´m looking forward season 3!
If this moderator would only shut her mouth, we could watch what we came to watch ~ the cast of Downton Abbey!!! She's the Executive Producer of Masterpiece and should always stay BEHIND the scenes!!!
Since some time was spent on it, ... ... To understand the term ENTAIL, you can re watch another Masterpiece Theatre hit, Pride and Prejudice done in 1995. It has to do with inheritance laws, to keep the actual estate intact. Women couldn't inherent, so a designated person would be the "entail", the one who actually gets the property instead of the daughters. Mr. Collins was this designated person in Pride and Prejudice.
Mary and Matthew were the only couple who raised up the story of these episode for audience. ..A bit dissapointed actually..Meggie ...was a brilliant acting..
MD: "And i text Dan"... They both made sth speciall on tv show so natural. Just look at MD in that Interview looking to Dan. World need to see them togerther again on TV show.
I loved Dan Steven's answer to the audience's question about pay disparity in the victorian era compared to now, and he replied it's worse if you take a look at Detroit and 5th Avenue. I am so happy that this is evident to those in other countries. America is in such denial.
I know that guy that asked about class disparity was getting a lot of flack, but in his defense, it was a fair question. I think the guy's point was that there was such distinction between who the servers are and who the ones being served are. But Dan makes a good point, too. We may not have servants who live downstairs anymore, but the class disparity is still there.
This is a great panel and I love seeing how well the cast gets on together, but honestly, a panel is supposed to highlight the cast and give the fans an opportunity to get on a more personal level with their favorite characters. Rebecca seems to have more speaking time than the actual cast! She is constantly interrupting and making silly jokes that are not funny and simply don't translate. On another note, I love Elizabeth's shoes and Michelle's top. Dan and Hugh are very handsome, etc. etc.
Glad Hugh came to Maggie's defense. You could see his face change throughout that woman's monologue, probably fearing where she was going. He seems like a mild-mannered man, but must've known he had to be the guy to speak up and protect the cast 'family.' (And notice it stopped once he spoke.) Maggie can have Maggie rules. She's earned it.
I think I got really mesmerized in a bad way with the looks and charms of the couple Mary and Matthew. I am watching the serie now and I am missing the couple bcs Matthew died and I was so attached to them. 😢😢😢😢😢
Cora speaks like an American who has lived in Britain for some time and is acquiring a slight British accent. Trust me, it's not full American lol. But that makes perfect sense for her character :)
"The English actor and writer Julian Fellowes, who created the PBS mini-series “Downton Abbey” and wrote the screenplay for “Gosford Park,” told The Telegraph that the idea for the series came from a book he was reading at the time, “To Marry an English Lord,” by Gail MacColl and Carol Wallace."
I cannot simply understand why Gareth Neame says he's surprised at how successful this series has been in Spain, and he adds, if I am not wrong, "what are the Spanish getting out of it?". Well, he may not know that since we are ALSO in Europe, we share a lot of history, we have had and still have an aristocracy. We've had "the servants"and "the upper class" too. On top of that we learn English as a second language at school. So, honestly i am astonished to hear that. It shows so little knowledge about this country. And if that is the case, why bothering mentioning it?
I am also rather shocked. The series is also a hit in Latinamerica, for the same reasons Mar Rgez Aller points out. Spain is a monarchy and one of the oldest in Europe. I am amazed they do not realize that the whole of the american continent belonged to Spain and was divided into "Kingdoms".....that Mexico had two Emperors, as did Brasil, and aristocracy was a basic part of our own history........Britain and France were responsible for bringing the Spanish Empire down.....but a whole continent and 300mm people speak spanish and share a historical inheritance.
Since "Downton Abbey" is set in Yorkshire, I wonder if any of the actors are speaking with Yorkshire accents. I can't tell one English accent from another, though. God bless.
I think she's actually one of the strongest links of the generally very strong cast. It's true she rarely gets a lot to do but when she does, she knocks it out of the park, like when Sybil died. Her scenes with Maggie Smith starting from season 1 are also priceless and she totally holds her own in those.
In the first 2 seaons elizabeth really looks alot younger than in the last few seasons... hse so stunning in the first 2 seaons and in the last season again.. but there was a time i didnt like the hair of cora..... and with the hair she has in this intervieuw shes a lot more beautiful than with the short hair. She also is a lot more thin in the last few seasons than in the first 2. (never the less shes stunning i mean my god her eyes
Wow! Lady Mary had tea at my fave tea place in Greenwich Village (I'm sure she meant The Tea Spot on Macdougal)! It's probably the best place to get tea in all of Manhattan.
I wonder if the PBS people are aware that the right side of the audio track is missing. It makes it difficult to listen to it properly :( I do love what I've seen so far, this cast and show are amazing :D
There is sound on this video, but only through the left stereo channel; for some reason the right one is silent. Maybe, like me, you were listening via headphones with only one earpiece in place...?
i only watched downton abbey because 1) maggie smith was in it and hello harry potter! 2) it had great fashion from the 1900's :D and 3) the drama was subtle and not overdone :)
Rebecca Eaton gave Julian Fellowes a huge amount of credit at the beginning by reinforcing that he created the show and wrote every episode of Seasons 1 and 2. Downton is co-produced by Masterpiece, and is simply broadcast on ITV in the UK, and on PBS in the US. ITV has no real presence in the show's creation or production.
+Chimp Cai Matthew Crawley (sigh) wears a very elegant 'mess kit' military costume with a red jacket at formal dinners held during the war. Dan cut quite a figure.
That must be Lorenzo from Tom & Lorenzo asking about the costumes. I don't think I saw this at the time it aired. Makes me miss it when it was all new and shiny.
Been addicted to top produced TV series like Sopranos and Boardwalk Empire,Breaking Bad etc.Someone suggested i checkout Downton Ab.I did.What a refreshing break from all these doomed and dishonerable scumbags on the above shows.The characters on DA are truley stand up honorable people and are to be admired as well as the show which is top notch.
So should Americans feel adequately slapped for the Detroit comment and the "dumbing down" comments? Anyway - just found this show on Amazon Prime and have watched both seasons in the span of 4 days! Love!
Or a Geordie[Newcastle] accent,or a Black Country [Birmingham] accent,or a Cornish accent,or a Liverpool accent,or a Yorkshire accent,or a Cockney/'Estuary' accent, or a Norfolk accent,or an Ulster accent.or an Edinburgh accent and so many more. In Britain every time you stop at a motorway service area the accent changes!
I wonder if Elizabeth’s actual real life British girls and British husband ever say to her “if you’re going to turn American on me then this conversation is over” and “you don’t understand because you are American and I am English”🤣 it’s a phrase they say often to her on Downton.
My favorite Maggie Smith line is, "A Peer in favor of reform is like a turkey in favor of Christmas." I love the entire cast; they're very talented. Great ensemble effort. ❤😊

Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart, indeed the best show on TV, from an Australian fan....
elizabeth and hugh are so good together. I love them.
Aren't they all just precious!!? 😍
Most people only see “the fossility”of the aristocracy and love to see the transition to the modern times which is represented in the three daughters of Lord Granthom and the service staff. But they don’t realize what is lost in values and a living in a small and strong community. I think, this is where unconsciously lies the real attraction of the series.
Hugh and Elizabeth have great screen chemistry.
People with good taste are everywhere, I'm from Colombia South America and enjoy this series.

I love Dan's voice ^^ he's so perfect! xD
Mary&Mattew the best couple ever ^^
I've never seen a man blush before. So nice to see. I assume the dress Michelle was talking about was the beautiful ivory dress she was wearing when Dan (Matthew) was eyeing her from behind and she turned around to see him at the door. It definately looked stunning. Good question on the costumes. Love Dan and MIchelle. They're all great.
What can I say? Beautiful cast. I wish I could see more of them….. all of them, including very handsome Dan Stevens !
After watching this for the past 3 weeks, I catch myself wanting to speak with a British accent. Awesome series!
Glad I found this interview. Very entertaining. I can't get enough of DA!
Truer words: "Great storytelling is great storytelling. Great characters are great characters. And whether they are dealing crack or serving tea...if it's good you'll get into it."
Okay, it's official. I love the actors just as much as their characters!
"and how about Dan in that red military jacket". he looked great.
Delicious, indeed.
Dan is fit! Oh my gosh. :) Plus he's got such a sense of humor! :D
Such an amazing show. And it´s true, has something special, original in between all the other TV shows. I think that the wonderful script is that magic element. Congratulations and I´m looking forward season 3!
I just fell in love with Matthew. Again.
Best moment was Elizabeth McGovern's imitation of her eminence
Maggi Smith: 'Now I know why they invented the guillotine'
Best laugh of the video.
If this moderator would only shut her mouth, we could watch what we came to watch ~ the cast of Downton Abbey!!! She's the Executive Producer of Masterpiece and should always stay BEHIND the scenes!!!
Very strange to see these people NOT in character. Their real personhood seems like a persona because their Downton characters are so real.
I LOVE THIS INTERVIEW
I LOVE DOWNTON ABBEY
I LOVE THE CRAWLEYS
SAME HERE!
Since some time was spent on it, ...

So much talent on that stage.
Thank you Amazon Prime Video for allowing me to see this masterpiece in 2020!
My left ear really enjoyed this.
Made me chuckle!
HAHAHAHAHAHAH
MD: "And i text Dan"... They both made sth speciall on tv show so natural. Just look at MD in that Interview looking to Dan. World need to see them togerther again on TV show.

How is america in denial when we see this everyday now our government thats a whole other story
Who's to blame for Detroit?
It's a show!!! 🤪🙄
The entail is much talked about in Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility.
the girl that plays anna is ADORABLE
I wish this series would continue on PBS!
I know that guy that asked about class disparity was getting a lot of flack, but in his defense, it was a fair question. I think the guy's point was that there was such distinction between who the servers are and who the ones being served are. But Dan makes a good point, too. We may not have servants who live downstairs anymore, but the class disparity is still there.
Elizabeth is breathtakingly beautiful! wow! :)
+Sochilinda I couldn't agree more, she really is.
I love this show so much...Waiting for the 5th season to come out here in the US...
This is a great panel and I love seeing how well the cast gets on together, but honestly, a panel is supposed to highlight the cast and give the fans an opportunity to get on a more personal level with their favorite characters.

On another note, I love Elizabeth's shoes and Michelle's top. Dan and Hugh are very handsome, etc. etc.
The fact that Mr. Stevens seems to love The Wire as much as I do raises him many notches in my esteem. We'll talk about it if ever we meet. ;D
"I never get bored of the bedroom!"
"Not my night!"
lololol
Do you know when he says this ? I can’t find it 😭
Glad Hugh came to Maggie's defense. You could see his face change throughout that woman's monologue, probably fearing where she was going. He seems like a mild-mannered man, but must've known he had to be the guy to speak up and protect the cast 'family.' (And notice it stopped once he spoke.) Maggie can have Maggie rules.

34:53 Michelle Dockery ( Mary ) winks to someone in the audience!!!
Oh, Den blushes so adorably, so cute 🥰
i was looking for this video !! thank you very much for uploading it :)
Cora speaks like an American who has lived in Britain for some time and is acquiring a slight British accent. Trust me, it's not full American lol. But that makes perfect sense for her character :)
An improvement if you ask me.
she speaks like americans with great lakes inflection television american like newsreporters if you will
Because she lives in london
"The English actor and writer Julian Fellowes, who created the PBS mini-series “Downton Abbey” and wrote the screenplay for “Gosford Park,” told The Telegraph that the idea for the series came from a book he was reading at the time, “To Marry an English Lord,” by Gail MacColl and Carol Wallace."
Fantastic! Thank you for posting!
30:45 hahahah. Never gets bored of the bedroom aww
It's called "The Buccaneers" by Edith Wharton and Marion Mainwaring. Available on Amazon.
Hugh Bonneville looks absolutely stately - solid and manly like a rock and yet very fatherly and gentle. I am melting..........
I cannot simply understand why Gareth Neame says he's surprised at how successful this series has been in Spain, and he adds, if I am not wrong, "what are the Spanish getting out of it?".

You make a good point but I don't think he meant to be critical of Spain in any way.
I am also rather shocked. The series is also a hit in Latinamerica, for the same reasons Mar Rgez Aller points out. Spain is a monarchy and one of the oldest in Europe.

You are right you can add matt Damon and his wife lol...
Dan Stevens is GORGEOUS!
this moderator just insulted maggie smith. not cool
I love the clothing and the furnishings. I also love the castles and I love Granny.
That's because she's not an interviewer, she is their director. The audience are the ones that are asking them the questions.
Dan is so gorgeous
Miranda Paige yes he is
Since "Downton Abbey" is set in Yorkshire, I wonder if any of the actors are speaking with Yorkshire accents. I can't tell one English accent from another, though. God bless.
My god, Elizabeth has one crazy transatlantic accent going on lol.
I think she's actually one of the strongest links of the generally very strong cast. It's true she rarely gets a lot to do but when she does, she knocks it out of the park, like when Sybil died. Her scenes with Maggie Smith starting from season 1 are also priceless and she totally holds her own in those.
Thanks for the spoiler

She also is a lot more thin in the last few seasons than in the first 2. (never the less shes stunning i mean my god her eyes
@traker42 It seems that Elizabeth has lived in England for decades now. So her accent is a bit of mixture now.
Michelle has such a distinguished voice!
Hugh Bonneville is perfect.
I love the charatcer of Mary Crawley
42:20 is pretty good too
Wow! Lady Mary had tea at my fave tea place in Greenwich Village (I'm sure she meant The Tea Spot on Macdougal)! It's probably the best place to get tea in all of Manhattan.
Don't get why they were hard on the guy asking the question 31:30. It was a clear and interesting question.
Yes!
Love Dan! 😍😍😍
OH MY DAN!
@iluvfriends4eva That was adorable. Love her! The cast in this is so great. Dan, Hugh...all of them!
I wonder if the PBS people are aware that the right side of the audio track is missing. It makes it difficult to listen to it properly :(
I do love what I've seen so far, this cast and show are amazing :D
Without PBS, it would have nowhere NEAR the exposure and popularity it has now. I think their pride and possession is warranted.
There is sound on this video, but only through the left stereo channel; for some reason the right one is silent. Maybe, like me, you were listening via headphones with only one earpiece in place...?
i only watched downton abbey because 1) maggie smith was in it and hello harry potter! 2) it had great fashion from the 1900's :D and 3) the drama was subtle and not overdone :)

I haven't had a problem with British accents since the Beatles came to America
then you have not heard my accent...oh wait...i just made fun of myself....BURN! =D
LOL
Earlier than that, honestly. Not sure why that was brought up.
>>In Britain every time you stop at a motorway service area the accent changes!
How true!
Love Dan and Michelle.
what are they laughing about at 42:00? Seems a joke or something related to Dan? Don't understand.
+Chimp Cai
Matthew Crawley (sigh) wears a very elegant 'mess kit' military costume with a red jacket at formal dinners held during the war. Dan cut quite a figure.
@@jillrobinson6908 Yes. He was extremely handsome in it. *swoon*
I always find these types of interviews very awkward, and I am sometimes embarrassed for the people asking questions!
Just to hear Michelle’s voice makes me smile
That must be Lorenzo from Tom & Lorenzo asking about the costumes. I don't think I saw this at the time it aired. Makes me miss it when it was all new and shiny.
masterpiece indeed
Been addicted to top produced TV series like Sopranos and Boardwalk Empire,Breaking Bad etc.Someone suggested i checkout Downton Ab.I did.What a refreshing break from all these doomed and dishonerable scumbags on the above shows.The characters on DA are truley stand up honorable people and are to be admired as well as the show which is top notch.
So should Americans feel adequately slapped for the Detroit comment and the "dumbing down" comments?
Anyway - just found this show on Amazon Prime and have watched both seasons in the span of 4 days! Love!
Question at 31:28. Of any lst world country I think the disparity between rich and poor is probably greater in the U.S. than in any other today.
Or a Geordie[Newcastle] accent,or a Black Country [Birmingham] accent,or a Cornish accent,or a Liverpool accent,or a Yorkshire accent,or a Cockney/'Estuary' accent, or a Norfolk accent,or an Ulster accent.or an Edinburgh accent and so many more. In Britain every time you stop at a motorway service area the accent changes!
there's, definitely, something "weird" about Elizabeth's accent and I must say I love it!!!
I wonder if Elizabeth’s actual real life British girls and British husband ever say to her “if you’re going to turn American on me then this conversation is over” and “you don’t understand because you are American and I am English”🤣 it’s a phrase they say often to her on Downton.
