Downton Abbey

Watched it on catch-up last night. Can't make up me mind whether I like it or not. It's all very "yah Mummy, Sebastian's given one this simply divine pearl necklace, does Mummy think it suits one?" To which Mummy replies "Why of course it does dahling. If one plays one's cards correctly one will have his ring on one's finger by the end of the week. What, what, what." It's not quite like real life is it, especially bearing in mind that this thing is set in Yorkshire. I mean you won't catch me saying "pass the fox shit Jeeves one's simply dying for one's luncheon, and make sure it's fresh this time, the last lot you brought upstairs was covered in mould and left me with a severe dose of the Ertha Kitts for nigh on a fortnight."
