They were good to their loyal employees. Robert paid for Mrs Patmore's eye surgery; Mary visited Anna in jail and signed in with her real name so everyone would know that Anna had her support; when Violet found out William Mason was going to die of his war injuries she had him brought from the hospital in London to Downton so his father could visit him every day; Violet later stood up for Daisy when a lawyer accused her of only marrying William on his deathbed so she could get the war widows pension; when Violet realized she was given 1st prize in the flower show every year simply as a courtesy, she gave the award to old Mr Molesley as it meant more to him than it did to her; when Cora discovers the servants have been running a soup kitchen for veterans using food paid for by the army, she not only rolls up her sleeves and helps out but insists the house foot the bill in the future... they are genuine ly good to those loyal to them where many with their money and status wouldn't bother.
Its not funny though. Not really. She could have lost her buisness that she build with her savings over something she had no control over. Its not funny when people lose everything they worked for. The only reason it's sort of funny is because we know it ends well. if it hadn't they would all have been horrible people for laughing about it.
One thing I wished they got right is that people don't really smile for picture before 1960, even more so in the 1920 where most will take regal looking, stern faced pictures.
I don’t really see what’s so funny about the house of ill repute. Her business is being ruined and the rich people are laughing, it was one of the few moments I genuinely hated all of the Crawleys at once.
I mean, even the people from downstairs were laughing, probably because of how absurd it would sound to any of them having a house of ill repute related to Mrs. Patmore, anyone could see how that would be funny because of how absurd it would sound. Remember in the end the family did fix the issue for her.
Even Rosamund was the one to say, "what an unlikely boarding house madam". They all knew how preposterous the notion was, with how honest a person Mrs. Patmore was.
"I don't want it to be repeated upstairs!"
Next shot - *Mary and Anne dying from laughter*
Anna
I couldn't help but laughing with Anna and Lady Mary, and with Daisy repeating the words
It was lovely of the Crawleys to do what they did.
It really was.
I love how the Crawleys support their most faithful staff like Mrs. Patmore.
I love how Robert shoves Mrs Patmore forward at the end
It was Cora not Robert..

I can just imagine someone finding this picture decades later and wondering what the fuss was all about! Poor Mrs. Patmore
A century later in this case 😂😂
Loved this storyline 😂 love Mrs Patmore
00:52 Mrs Hughes can't hold her lips anymore
One of the funniest plot of DA.....😅😅

Lady Mary and Anna are literal besties 🥰
I really like Hugh Bonneville. What a nice man he is. In Downton Abbey he really loved his dogs. And in Paddington he was just so nice.
He's a nasty vicious drunk.
However, he was doing something called acting!
@@danivarius yes and he is a good actor

People did smile in many photos in the 1920s it was definitely common to smile in photos before 1960s
What an unlikely bawdy house madam 😂
Carson just doesn’t give a crap about anyone besides the aristocrats, does he 🙄
The aristocrats (especially Mary and the dowager) AND Mrs. Hughes. That's about it.
There's nothing more snobbish than a bulter
I beg your pardon, madame, but your house is a "sweet hotel". 👯♂ 🙀
Episode?
Series 6 epi 8 🤩
I would hate to live in this era 😖

It was the unlikely scenario that made them laugh - everyone, irrespective of upstairs or downstairs.
Even Rosamund was the one to say, "what an unlikely boarding house madam". They all knew how preposterous the notion was, with how honest a person Mrs. Patmore was.
Even Daisy was making fun it! Maybe it wasn't actually that big of a deal as she made it.
Typical borderline
LOL
😅
