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!

I'll take your word for it

Hard quiz tonight, QM looking at the full list of answers, would never have got the connection either

All correct including connection Sallysally (I love Downton ) and Tom is right Dare Devil
