I think everyone can agree that the Dowager Countess' lines were some of the most iconic moments of the show. She made the show so witty and funny, I love her! I find myself quoting her sometimes in my own life.
She is an absolute classic I think. She reminds me of my very English Mother. The British are so good at doing these programs I love watching it. 🎉 Ruth
thats true british style, credits should actually be given to the writers, director, costume designers and so.... every character shows how much important they are in the society
She has portrayed many wonderful characters perfectly. Professor McGonagall, Mrs. Medlock, from the Secret Garden, Granny Wendy from Hook, Lady Grantham from this. She is a beautiful and worthy Queen and one of my favorite actors.
My favorite Dowager Countess quote is "I'm not arguing, I'm explaining. " She is one of my favorite characters. Love watching her witty interactions with the cast. Maggie is amazing in Downton Abbey and wonderful in everything she does. Truly a gem!! ⭐️
"Lady Grantham" ... gone but never, ever forgotten as long as we can view these snippets from time to time. What a legacy of one-liners she has left us with!
Maggie Smith was magnificent in everything in which I’ve had the privilege to see her display her immense talents. Thank you, Dame Maggie Smith for your truly wonderful body of work. RIP 🤍🕊️
It is so sad to hear of her passing. Dame Maggie Smith was a National Treasure who was one of the very best actresses with 70 years of a career and what a career she had, my sincere respects to her family, loved ones, friends, colleagues, fans and the nation. You shall be very missed Dowager Countess of Grantham. R.I.P and thank you.
Dame Maggie Smith. Thank you so much and with great gratitude from so many people for your great acting abilities. Bravo. Well done. I hope you’re having a wonderful journey. RIP 💐💐
The best one for me is when she says to Robert 'When you talk like that I'm tempted to ring for Nanny and have you put to bed with no supper'. Can you imagine being spoken to like that by your mother and instantly feeling like a child again.
The Spanish version ( latin ) gives Maggie Smith a freshness, and more color to accentuate in her voice all that she expresses. It is a very special voice and ideal for a grandmother countess but with the best sense of humor.
The Dowager was undeniably one of the best characters in Downton it is such a shame to see her go. No doubts Mary will turn out just like her but we wont go into much detail about that 😂. I hope in the 3rd film they go back to the style of the first few series as it focuses on Robert, Bates and Anna. Mostly Robert as i would like to find out about how he actually met Cora and how they fell in love a bit how they found out about the Dowager before she passed by going to the villa. Reason being i think it would show us a side of Robert that we haven't seen before and show us that apart from being serious and heartfelt he is actually really funny 😂. If they go back to focusing on Bates and Anna i'd like to see them and there son (John Bates Jr.) and how they live depending on the time jump there son going to school and how they manage there life aswell as both working at Downton. But that's just what i would like to see probably not going to happen but you never know! 😅
They shouldn't have let her go. I can't watch without her. I watched her exit episode once. The rest, I watch regularly. Never again that one. 😢 I have always loved Maggie. I started watching because of her. You should see her in Quartet. (The 2012 movie. She was in 2 by that title). Amazing cast. Music was played by real retired performers in the movie.
@dawnstanley1733 I realize that. But I'd have sweetened the deal for her. Tried, anyway. Nope, idc how good an actress they are, she can never be replaced.
I'm amazed there's still something new to discover even if we watched it 130456 times... And it's a cat nonetheless! 😍 It's a shame it didn't get any screen time, must be so cute if Violet was holding it 😍
Maggie Smith, you will be missed! ❤ Last week I watched her in Carol Burnett Show (They have an verified YT channel) She was awesome in youth and in older age :)
And then there's original Maggie Smith; "It's ridiculous! I lead a perfectly normal life before Downton Abbey, now... pfft the Fulham Road's gotten dodgy."
My favorite lines were: “It’s the judges who decide this things; not me”. S1E5 at the awarding of the prize for the best bloom, when Lady Grantham gave the cup to Mr. W. Moseley instead of herself as the card read.

Yes, I love her and how she makes us think and laugh!
She is an absolute classic I think. She reminds me of my very English Mother. The British are so good at doing these programs I love watching it. 🎉 Ruth
@@mikeferreira2802 I love her and will miss her personality!
thats true british style, credits should actually be given to the writers, director, costume designers and so.... every character shows how much important they are in the society
Yes, the writing was amazing, but Maggie Smith is a treasure. I can't imagine anyone playing this character better.
She has portrayed many wonderful characters perfectly. Professor McGonagall, Mrs. Medlock, from the Secret Garden, Granny Wendy from Hook, Lady Grantham from this. She is a beautiful and worthy Queen and one of my favorite actors.
But it was her delivery of the lines that made an incredible character come to life by a phenomenal actress of the highest order.
RIP Dame Maggie Smith. There will never be anyone else like you. Such a big loss when we lose one of the greats. Fly high 🕊

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Rest in peace Dame Maggie Smith, you were wonderful and adored ❤
Rest in Peace Dame Maggie Smith. You were a talent beyond measure and a dream to watch ❤️
I always imagine Julian Fellowes used to chuckle each time he wrote for the dowager. And Maggie Smith did such wonderful justice to the role ❤
Interestingly most of her lines weren't written by him
@@jakecavendish3470 interesting I didn't know that. Do you know who?
How do you know?@@jakecavendish3470
Oh no!!! They left out my favorite line ...
"What's a weekend?"
I agree... "What is a weekend"? lol Can you believe there were ppl back than that didn't know what a weekend was.
@@bakenumber4
Yes, both the lucky ones (didn't work at all) and the unlucky ones (worked 7 days).
The most drop-dead line of the entire Downtown series.
@@huascar66
And that delivery ... !!!!!
"Nobody wants to kiss a girl in black" is my favourite🖤 Think about it often:)
And "one can't de devastated at the death of every foreigner" 🥲
5:40- I just love the reaction she gives when Sybil gives her a witty reply to her comment
*Dame. Maggie. Smith.*
National treasure 🙌🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾
Correction; *International* Treasure.
I couldn’t agree more 🙌🏻
God bless you, Dame Maggie. The absolute backbone on which Downton Abbey was built! ❤
She has such a great dry since of humor. Delivers them with such finesse.
"Why does every day involve a fight with an American?" 😂
It's extra funny when you remember her daughter-in-law is American lmao.
@@themisheikathat’s what she was referring to 🤣
@@danivarius Poor Cora, catching strays from her mother-in-law even when she ain't there XD
Colonialism?
Dowager countess...my fav character in Downton Abbey!
Thank you. I really needed this today. At least we can always enjoy her films and memories she left us.
Julian Fellows is such a fabulous and witty writer ! And Dame Maggie Smith a legend in this role. I adore " Oh! my husband didn't leave me, he died !
She does say what's on her mind lol love it
Thank you for all the laughs Maggie. May you rest in peace ❤
Just finished seeing Season 6 for the three times. I now think Downton was one of the best drama I’ve ever went through
❤❤❤ I love Maggie Smith. She is one and only.
Marvelous! Dame Maggie Smith added so much to Downton Abbey! What a wonderful, witty and unique character she played, as Lady Grantham 💐
"Lady Grantham" ... gone but never, ever forgotten as long as we can view these snippets from time to time. What a legacy of one-liners she has left us with!
Rest in peace, Maggie Smith. You’re loved and your roles will last the ages. ❤
Maggie Smith was and will always be SUPERB. I simply adore her wit as the Dowager Countess.
RIP Dame Maggie Smith... Thanks for all the witty delivery as Dowager...

They left out her last funny line when she said "Quiet. I can't hear myself dying."
Yes.💞 Brilliant!🎉
RIP, Dame Maggie. Such a terrible loss.
Rosemuuuuuund, you're addressing your mother, not the committee of the women institute, 😂😂😂😂😂 gets me every time,
Oh I can’t believe “what is a weekend” is not among here, although “do you promise” is a close second😂😂😂
"No, noooo... I'm a good sailor!!" 🤣
She was a remarkable character
@2:09 Dan looks like he is about to burst out laughing! Love these clips, so funny!! Thanks for sharing with us!!
RIP our beloved Maggie Smith. Loved her work. :"You'll be rewarded in Heaven, the sooner the better" (Dowager Coutness)
IN MEMORIAM OF ONE OF THE GREATEST BRITISH ACTRESSES. ANOTHER PART OF THE ´ GREAT ´ IN GREAT BRITAIN GONE !
RIP Dame Maggie Smith - a highly talented actress and remarkable lady .
Seeing Sybil in these early scenes and Matthew 😢.
How could the classic line "What is a Weekend" Not be included.
That line really highlights how different her life experience was from thst of the working class.
Dame Maggie Smith, has left the world a poorer place!❤❤❤
What a sensitive and intelligent actress she was... Rest in peace, Dear Mrs Maggie! 🖤😔
Excellent compilation.
Many thanks!
So sad that her character died. With the upcoming season i cant imagine Downton without her.
When is the upcoming season?
@@AlexandraK1 Doesnt have a date yet. But production is already underway.
Dame Maggie Smith was a national treasure ❤❤❤❤❤
@l.a.3479 oh how this hits today😢
I'm deleting my comment. 😢@@valnea2666
How (unfortunately) prophetic! 😢
I so love Maggie Smith.
Bad news
Oh delicious! How wide will miss her effortlessly smooth slight of sarcasm!
Thomas has some witty comebacks as well.
Thank you dear Meggie Smith for bring such joy to the world.
The angels are waiting for a new spectacle 💔
“…an unlikely friend is tiresome enough, an unlikely acquaintance is intolerable” too right 😂
Rest in peace, Dame Maggie! We'll never forget you!
Rest in Peace, great lady!
"Knowing...an unlucky acquaintance is intolerable."
My favourite!
Superb. Those waspish one-liners brilliant,
Still funny in 2014 - some great stuff written by Julian Fellows and spoken by Maggie Smith !!
I enjoy very much to see Downton Abbey it's so Classic to hear. I wish them all the Best.
The best one for me is when she says to Robert 'When you talk like that I'm tempted to ring for Nanny and have you put to bed with no supper'.
Can you imagine being spoken to like that by your mother and instantly feeling like a child again.
She reminds me of my grandmother so much...
She made this show worth watching!
How about, “how is it up there on that moral high ground?”
I wish this show could have gone on forever.
Dame Maggie is absolute treasure ❤
Can't wait for it to return to our screens!❤
But it won't be the same without Maggi.😢
I love the Dowager Countess, she reminds me of my Nana.
R.I.P Maggie Smith you were Legendary ...
😂😂😂 she was hilarious!!! ❤RIP
The Dowager is Such a Gem 💎 ❤
The Spanish version ( latin ) gives Maggie Smith a freshness, and more color to accentuate in her voice all that she expresses. It is a very special voice and ideal for a grandmother countess but with the best sense of humor.

She thought it was time. She deserves rest and relaxation.
That was her decision. She deserves some rest. She's already given so much. Nobody will ever replace Dame Maggie Smith.

@@dawnstanley1733 Of course. But you know she won't retire. 😄
👏🏻 💯
I will miss you, Mrs. McGonagall ❤❤❤ I always wanted a teacher like you. ❤❤❤ Rest in peace, my lady from a boy in Arizona. ❤❤❤
Miss Smith 🙏 you'll be deeply missed
I always loved her as the Dowager Lady Grantham. I guess I identified with her most of the time! 😅
3:42 The Dowager has a cat!!!!
I'm amazed there's still something new to discover even if we watched it 130456 times... And it's a cat nonetheless! 😍 It's a shame it didn't get any screen time, must be so cute if Violet was holding it 😍
also that scene shows her having a rigid teapot, probably an innovation and cost much at the time
Great spot!
How could you miss - What is a weekend?
RIP great lady!!
"So put that in your pipe and smoke it!" 😮😅😂

"so put that in your pipe and smoke it" classic lady Grantham 😂😂😂
She is sorely missed 🙏
Dammit, rewatching the Series AGAIN! 😂
And then there's original Maggie Smith; "It's ridiculous! I lead a perfectly normal life before Downton Abbey, now... pfft the Fulham Road's gotten dodgy."
wait so her life was still normal during the Harry Potter series?
@@盧璘壽로인수 Apparently yes, although she said the shooting of Harry Potter was the most gruelling.
@@盧璘壽로인수She noticed more children recognizing her!
1:55 the swirling chair
LOL "Do you promise?" 🤣🤣🤣
Who came here tonight because Maggie Smith died 😢
One of few unfulfilled wishes, I would of loved to have had her as a friend
The Dowager:
"Why is every day a fight with the Americans?" 🤣
Americans:...and we took that personally
😂😅
Do you promise? 😂😂😂
So these wonderful people we have to loose. The great thing is they forever on film.
I'm sure the writer was excited to write for Maggie Smith. She just has a way of making something of nothing.
Soo excited to watch DA tonight
Dearest Dame Maggie... how's up there.. wish u a lovely weekend...
Love Maggie Smith, RIP ❤️xx
My favorite lines were: “It’s the judges who decide this things; not me”. S1E5 at the awarding of the prize for the best bloom, when Lady Grantham gave the cup to Mr. W. Moseley instead of herself as the card read.
Why does everyday involve a fight with an American.
Looks at the news in 2024.... * long sighs with a 100km stare
😂😂😂...we never disappoint
RIP 🪦 she was amazing shinning 💫 star You will be dearly missed Maggie
REST IN PEACE, DAME MAGGIE!
I would love to see The Dowager Origins movie, but we don't have any actresses to play the role.
Rest in peace Maggie.
