The End Of Downton Abbey! (Boo Hoo)

Watched the last in the present series of the period drama 'Downton Abbey' earlier this morning. And as usual, it was great! Downton Abbey has attracted around 9 million viewers since starting in September. The drama is set in 1912, in a stately home named Downton Abbey, during the reign of King George V. The fact that it is a historical drama has led to a surge of viewers looking for any inaccuracies or errors they can spot and one such instance has involved the spotting of a modern day conservatory in one particular shot. Personally, I was far more interested in looking at the beautiful dresses and costumes that were being worn. I absolutely loved the dresses, they were just beautiful! If only we could walk into clothes shops today and buy such elegant clothing. If I had my way I'd dress as the ladies in Downton Abbey every single day! I'm really gonna miss that show. And I'm sure many others who have become addicted to their weekly helping of the drama will do too. Anyone suffering from withdrawal symptoms will be pleased to know that a new series is in the pipeline. One of my favourite characters in the programme was Thomas, played by the very handsome Rob James-Collier. (I bet many women thought he was absolutely gorgeous when he first arrived in Corrie. It was such a surprise to see such a good looking guy in that soap. A very pleasant surprise for many women across the nation! I think I actually did a double take! Gutted when they killed his character off. And isn't that just typical of Corrie? Don't think they like good-looking men on that show. Come to think of it, don't think they like men at all!) Here's hoping the villianous 'Thomas' will be back in the new series. I don't think the programme would be quite the same without his 'bad boy' plotting and scheming.
