Downton Abbey.

[Blackadder]

It's got nothing to do with being a bloke. You should be ashamed on the grounds of taste regardless of your gender - it's fluffy rubbish, as ITV solely deal in these days.

Oh no! now I'm getting the flashbacks! Banjo helped me through the difficult times, now this bully Spider has turned my world on it's head!

What do I do? take it meekly on the chin? or FIGHT BACK!

Fight back

Or, don't take what was essentially a lighthearted, if differing, opinion quite so seriously?

I am joking mate.

Have been through the whole thread.

Oops. How ironic that it was me that mistook serious intent when that was what I was having a go at you for!

I better join you in that darkened room and thrash my sarcasm radar back into place!

Watchable TV programme and more entertaining that some of the recommended macho drivel suggested by some posters on this forum.

 

[Jack Daniels]

If you watch the whole programme it makes a lot more sense. Rather than than missing the last 10 minuets to make a cup of tea in time for the next programme.

d a was on the telly, in the background. After a while, i found myself watching it and quite enjoying it.

As a bloke, have i done wrong?

Fill your boots mate, I watch it and quite enjoy it.

I was watching Downton and partner was asleep on the sofa then he woke up said "I can't watch this shit - grabbed the remote and turned it over to Dragon's Den" I am just waiting for him to drift back off again now!

Sounds a very sad state of affairs.

That would be like singing my own death warrant in my house.......she is Downton mad!

 

[Giraffe]

I will stick my long neck out and say I love it. There, I've said it now.

 

[Lady Gull]

Lol I just mentioned this thread to other half and he said - 'I don't see what you see in that programme' I said I like those period dramas - his answer 'it's period bollox' lol guess he doesn't like it!!!

 

[MattBackHome]

I bloody love Downton Abbey. It's like a cross between "Pride and Prejudice" and "24" - both of which are also ACE

 

[footychick]

Hate it!

Out of all of us in the family my dad is into Downton Abbey the most. When it was first advertised he was the one who suggested we give it a watch. Slightly worrying.

 

[Dave the OAP]

we watch it in chez wilcock, and it is brilliant ( Maggie Smith steals every scene she is in!!) however the one thing that gets on my goat is the amount of adverts...one set every 10 minutes now, in an hour and a half show, that is just rediculous. So we will probably record it and start watching later on, winding through the ads like we used to do with XFactor and BGT ( but they are both so SHITE, we dont bother watching them anymore)

 

[One Love]

I never look forward to it, end up watching it and loving it.

Now Dragons Den on the other hand. Do you really like seeing such innate greed on display?

Wife has the boxset from the 1st series which she just sat thru before the 2nd started so somewhat Abbey'd out now
