I love & loathe it... Its interiors are spot on, the decorating is like a page from World of Interiors, the colouring & filming are bloomin marvelous too I just wish it wasn't sooooooo slick, I like a wobbly set or an out of period font here & there but so far I've not spotted anything untoward ( yet ) The plots & story lines are like a period Eastenders mixed with Monarch of the Glen ( or Piloc of the Glen as it was known in our house ) & I can't help laughing at Maggie Smith & her fantasticly over the top characterisation ITV have spent a fortune making this & shows It's also bedding in nicely on a Sunday night at Woof Towers * ding ding * "Must go, dinner is served"
