Interview with costume designer

Male version of #3859 - see a man repeatedly dressed/undressed in decade-spanning outfits!

In the 100 years of men’s fashion, those clothes don’t fit that model. Almost all of them are too tight or too short for the era they are supposed to represent. Whoever made that video does not have a good eye for costuming.

And a fun quiz–it told me that I am Anna :slight_smile:

Ooh- fun! I am the Dowager Countess:

Well done. You are the character everyone wants to be. You are quick-witted, snake-tongued and just generally brilliant and hilarious in every way. You like tradition and formality - in fact you’re a little bit stuck in your ways. Plus you think quite a lot of yourself and your family name. But, hey, why wouldn’t you? You’re awesome.

People watching season 6?

It started in the UK on September 20 but won’t be broadcast in the US until early 2016, correct?

^ true, madison. H was in London last weekend and told me he watched a few minutes (before turning to football). I made him promise- no spoilers!

@Vladenschlutte - I wish someone would tell me how to watch it as it’s airing in the U.K. D2 does, but tells me I might not want to do it the way she does it. Can it be done legally?

Sites that stream TV illegally also stream Downton on the UK schedule. So it’s viewable but not legally @teriwtt .

I’m not sure if downloading alone is technically illegal and I doubt if your daughter downloaded it for you, and then you watched it, that you would actually be committing a crime. But I don’t know if there’s a way you’d be able to watch it through a BBC broadcast.

Okay, Downton friends, set your DVRs for Wednesday night if you are an early to bed kind of person. Michelle Dockery, Hugh Bonneville, & Allen Leech (Lady Mary/Lord Grantham/Tom Branson) are scheduled to appear on Colbert that night. Based on what I saw on the recent Salute to Downton Abbey during PBS fundraising, I assumed Tom would be back to the UK at some point, but I suppose his promotional appearance confirms that he has a continuing role. Can’t wait to see how it all wraps up:)

I’m starting to get excited about the next season!

Wow… all three on the same night? Great coup for Colbert!

“I’m starting to get excited about the next season!”

Me too!

Season 6 has already finished where I live, and I’m just waiting for the grand finale Xmas special. The wait is killing me!!! :o3

A few years ago I went online on 12/26 to see pictures of the royals at church on Christmas Day. I was gobsmacked to see the headlines regarding Matthew’s death. I hope I don’t run into anything about the conclusion this year as it is killing me to not search out for spoilers after watching the Salute to DA on PBS which included lots of teasers. I am a little jealous @GMTplus7 that you will know the whole story soon :slight_smile:

Can’t remember if this video went around the thread last year, but if not, here it is (Downton Abbey’s version of It’s A Wonderful Life):
