That is such STAGE SCHOOL disguised Essex.
She is from Romford APPARENTLY, so she is INDEED PURE ESSEX.
She talks quite a lot in her normal voice here.

I hate to agree with Cwej but I thought it jumped the shark big time, everything was so painfully predictable and cliched it made me groan sometimes. I guess series 3 will be another Marry/Mathew forbidden love storyline.
The christmas special means we get a bonus shit photoshopped promo picture

who are the two new faces?
Sybil already CUT OUT of the family portrait
Ahh, I was wondering when good old Nigel Havers was going to pop up, I thought he was meant to be in S2.

Nigel Havers and Sharon Small. Both fabulous!
She's apparently playing "Marigold Shore, a housemaid of Lady Rosamund".
I want a sapphic-tinted rivalry with O'Brien, please. Culminating in some sort of catfight in the Downton fish pond.
And yeah, is Branson GONE FOREVER?
And why is Cora smirking so much? She looks like Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight
According to The Telegraph
I didn't read the rest for FEAR of SPOILERS. BUT YAY.After a second series that occasionally tested viewers’ credulity, the Christmas special of Downton Abbey, ITV1's hit period drama, is an absolute cracker.

The trailer certainly looks GREAT, roll on the 25th

I hope Bates gets sent down for good.
I hope Thomas gets some Christmas spirit IN him.

It looks great, but I can't see them having someone executed on Christmas day, so I suspect Bates will live.
I do hope Thomas and Lady Sybil have at least some sort of presence.

Mrs Patmore testifying against Bates
LOVE THAT WOMAN! BRING HIM DOWN!
"The cast share their idea of their character's perfect Christmas and give a sneak peek at the Downton Abbey Christmas special."

"I'm leaving in the morning, Lady Grantham. I doubt we will meet again."
"Do you promise?"
"I'm sorry about the vase."
"Oh don't be, DON'T BE... it was a wedding present from a frightful aunt. I've hated it for half a century!"
She is on FIRE tonight.
kyoko, it's me
That was AMAZING
Tied up a lot of loose ends very well, I was secretly hoping Bates would have been HUNG though just so we could be rid of him. Rosamund, Cora and Violet were GREAT

That was the MOMENT of the episode!
'Sue, did the President call?' ... 'No' Last.fm
It was superb, the whole thing.
kyoko, it's me
NOPE!
I think with almost everything tied up now series 3 can easily trump series 2. Fresh stories ahoy.

It was AMAZING. I think I'm slightly in love with Matthew now, even though I've always preferred Thomas and Mr. Pamuk.
I'm glad Mr. Bates is only being imprisoned for life. An execution at Christmas would have been a bit of a downer, even if he is a bit of a bore. And had he been hanged we probably wouldn't see much more of poor Anna.
Aside from Lady Grantham's "Do you promise?", I also loved Matthew's reaction to the prospect of dancing with Mrs. O'Brien and some Lord Grantham line that I can't quite remember but was nevertheless very funny.
Pamuk is well on his way towards being the most ICONIC one-episode guest star in the history of television.
kyoko, it's me
Oh, I know.
It was the cowboy line. "Find some cowboy and bring him back to Downton to shake things up", or something like that.
I do love how PAMUK still gets a mention after all this time. You just can't forget people like him.
”Go around, we're recreating a faux pas'”
Pamuk deserved death
A normal person must
Dismiss you with disgust
And weep for those who trusted you.
As for the episode is deffo seemed a lot more PROPER DOWNTON rather than a bit of soap. I thought they really should have gone for it with Bates' hanging - it would have been quite sensational.
Matthew and Mary <3 YAY!
Although what happened with Cora and Robert. Did he decide they weren't heading for a divorce?
”Go around, we're recreating a faux pas'”
They decided they loved each other really after she almost died of the Spanish Flu, didn't they? I can't quite remember fully.

That last scene with Mary and Matthew was just TOO MUCH
He realised how AMAZING she is!

Oh i DID like this. Two hours (or whatever it was with the ads fastforwarded through) was maybe a bit long, but everybody had time to shine and a pleasing amount happened.
My favourite bit was the dowager opening her present, and that utterly lovely ending. A shame about Bates though. Him getting hung would have made my christmas.
I was hoping he'd pop up on the ouija board and offer some of his trademark hymen-saving anal sex, but alas it was not to be. It could have been him at the end though.Pamuk is well on his way towards being the most ICONIC one-episode guest star in the history of television.

I really enjoyed this but feel that I was always going to. I thought it was quite a good shock that Bates was going to get the noose but sort of agreed that it would've been too morbid for Christmas, however much I fail to see his appeal. I find Anna coma-inducingly boring also. Thankfully they provided only one of the focuses for the episode because it's it's quite exceptional length. I was chuckling away at so many lines and certain absurdities... I am including the ridiculous ouija board antics in this.. And I think I might be a little bit in love with Cousin Matthew. Oh, I could barely hide my merriment from my relatives when he proposed to Lady Mary. Again, it was somewhat unexpected. ALLOW THEM TO BE HAPPY, FELLOWES!
I do hope Sybil will be back next series with Branson and her CATHOLIC BABBY in tow.

Oh yes, the 'we're going to have a FENIAN grandchild' line was the source of much amusement chezkm.
'Sue, did the President call?' ... 'No' Last.fm
None of us knew what it meant
We don't recognise 'The Republic of Ireland' as a state though.
Sorry to rain on the love parade but i thought it was just ok apart from a few laughs from the Dowager Countess and the short burst of happiness when they announced that Bates would hang. it would have been better if it was half an hour shorter, i really didn't need another dastardly scheme from Thomas or Daisy's prolonged whining.
