Downton Abbey

[Digweeds Trousers]

"Now listen to me, you mincing f***ing C**T. You breathe a word of this, and I will tear your f***ing skin off, I will wear it to your mothers birthday party, and I will rub your nuts up and down her leg whilst whistling Bohemian f***ing Rhapsody, right ?"

M. Tucker.

Glorious.

That is the word. Glorious. Ianucci at his best for me. I actually wanted to refer to someone today in a forecast call as 'as useful as a f***ing marzipan dildo'.

that's the one draw back with watching this. You can see yourself using one his immortal phrases and being on your way home viw HR before you can cough.

On being told that a story was 'out there'......Tucker comes up with the epic line:

Well, it is out there, it's out there now, lurking like a big hairy rapist at a coach station. You know, if I could, I'd punch you into paralysis

Sorry - I've just hijacked this thread. I shall stop now.

Please could you take this note, ram it up his hairy inbox and pin it to his f***ing prostate.

Having missed the 70,s showing of Upstairs/Downstairs i am watching the re-runs on Saturday (Sky+) Simply wipes the floor with Downton,decent script,solid direction and gives you never to be forgotten 'characters' like Hudson and Mrs Bridges i can't see Downton doing that.

Downton is in good parts i.e. Maggie Smiths performance is a highlight while the wooden performance by the actress who plays Mary is a downside. Doesn't compare to Upstairs ,Downstairs which is still an iconic programme of its era. However both are far better than much of the dross that is shown on TV; particularly the never ending plethora of reality programmes.
