Downton Abbey The Finale (nearly) - WARNING SPOILERS...

Posted on the 09 November 2015 by Ravenswingthog @ravenswingthog

Last night the grand finale of Downton Abbey (except for the Christmas special) came and went. I've been a long-time fan of Downton Abbey from series one, and it's a shame that it has to come - nearly - to an end. My Sunday evening Downton with a coffee and snacks is always a delight, and to think of it being no more is slightly saddening.
I must admit that this last episode - and the one before - left me a little ambivalent, as although I enjoyed them, they both left a little in the way of storylines to be closed (which of course they need to be left open to give something to resolve in the Christmas special!). Nevertheless, it was still very good.
I do recommend, for those wanting a little bit more Downton to check out Downton Wars on YouTube (by Rob James-Collier aka Thomas Barrow or the "Evil Butler") and if you like do consider making a contribution to Chilterns MS Centre.
Needless to say (although I will say it) if Lady Edith does not find happiness in the Christmas special I shall track down Julian Fellowes and frown at him disapprovingly.
