Downton

[Tilly2]

Hurray! Mr. Bates is out..........and smiling!

[atsgran]

Can I join in - I'm totally addicted - (to Downton that is)

[Tilly2]

Welcome atsgran. Do pull up a chair. What do you want to talk about?

[pips1]

There HAS to be another series surely, it is so popular!

[wendilla]

Yes Tony ther is another series being made but apparentley Maggie won't be in it .

[Tilly2]

I think there is another series.
A friend of mine (A DM reader!) said she'd seen in the paper that Maggie Smith was not going to be in the next series.

[Tilly2]

Snap, wendi!

[tonyav]

Wot, wendilla, Wont be the same without the Dowager.

[Barmaid]

I've also heard that Matthew Crawley won't be in the next one.

[atsgran]

Hadn't read that, what a pity she really plays the part brilliantly

[wendilla]

That's right but I did read it somewhere. She does come out with some crackers in conversation.

[atsgran]

Didn't see your post there barmaid, wonder how they are going to write him out then

[tonyav]

Yeah, he's of to Hollywood I think.

[Barmaid]

Don't know gran.

Will be a shame if Maggie Smith goes, she has me in hysterics. She even made Mr BM laugh on Sunday.

[Tilly2]

Surely Matthew's not going to leave Lady Mary in the lurch!

[chrissa1]

I'm sure there will be Tonyav. I bet they take it into WW11, or the beginning of it.

[Barmaid]

i don't know HOW they are going to write him out now he has "bought into" Downton. Tricky one for Mr Fellowes.

[tonyav]

Oh well even when the Dowager has gone I'll still have Tilly on the '' See How Far It Gets'' thread lol.

[Tilly2]

Oh, no. It's all going to pot!

[Barmaid]

I think its the last one next week.

[pips1]

Maggie is the new Blanche
