Watched the first series, not the second (was their a third?)

Some loved it. Some hated it.

Came across a Daily Mail article about the hit/miss of the show and it mentioned Lady Percy died. I didn't even know she died! How?

    Threw herself off the balcony after she was found out as a Nazi spy and accidentally shooting the maid.

    I really enjoyed the second series, much better than Downton Abbey....

    Thanks for the replies.

    I may get the series on DVD actually.

    Was her death in the final episode or midway? (Didn't know if there were any loose ends due to the axe).

    It was in the final episode. Her life was a complete mess and after she accidentally shot the maid she just walked, trancelike, onto the landing and threw herself over the railings.

    Sounds dramatic! (but interesting all the same? :p)

    The trance like Percy! Did it end like that or was there someone who found her? What a cliffhanger if so! :eek: (literally seeing as there's no more series to be made).

    I must have imagined the part where she shot herself before falling from the stairs! I wonder where that false memory came from?!

    Did series two leave on a cliffhanger? I hate that when series get axed :(

    No there was no cliffhanger, it didn't end on Lady Percy's death. She had a funeral which, if I remember correctly, we didn't see; and then we briefly saw how the house and it's inhabitants were functioning during the war. It worked fairly well as a final episode, even though it wasn't intended to be.

    To be honest, it was a good thing it did get axed. Lady Percy was the only thing worth watching in it. Once she was dead, I can't imagine how dull it would have become.
