Did anyone else watch this? The best thing i've seen on TV since Lonesome Dove and the best original teleplay (by Julian Fellowes, writer also of Gosford Park) since Paddy Chayefsky's Marty almost 60 yrs ago. Moving, intricate, immaculate. Kindly & understated performance by Hugh Bonneville as the last aristocrat of the line, some serious chewing of scenery by Maggie Smith (ably countered by Penny Wilton & Eliz McGovern) and an ensemble as crisp as a hunting morn. As i've never been so bothered by seeing a miniseries come to an end, i'm thrilled theyve decided upon a second season. Cant wait.
