Downton Abbey starts on the 18th in the UK. You could always record it and then fast forward the ads!

I think the second season of Downtown Abbey will probably start in the middle of 2012(in Australia) as the DVD of the first series have only just been released for sale.
Once it is released by Amazon U.K I will be buying both the second season and the Christmas special. It's a show that I can re-watch again and again. It is television bliss.

So good to see Downtown Abbey win some Emmy's including Julian Fellowes and Maggie Smith and I think the show itself got a well deserved award. I can't wait to buy the second series
As it is I have also ordered the book on Downtown Abbey-written by Julian's wife(I think?).
And Tyrion(Peter somebody-I am terrible with names!)from Game of Thrones won YAY!

Yes, the awards were very well deserved. I think it's an excellent series. I like the fact it has a sense of humour running through it. Maggie Smith is a hoot!

Here's the publicity for season 2, US broadcast
This looks interesting- a non-fiction book about Highclere Castle, which provides the setting for the Downton Abbey series, and its inhabitants, especially Lady Almira Carnavon, the 5th Countess of Carnarvon.
Lady Almira and the real Downton Abbey, by Lady Fiona Carnavon, current chatelaine of Highclere
