I only watched the first series, but I am pretty sure that Downton Abbey had some of the above characters.

If it's Downton Abbey, that's why I didn't get the connection. Don't watch it, clashes with the Gateshead FC Podcast.

Well, anything would have been better than Downton from the second series onwards. I thought it absolute tosh!
