So what time can we expect the first ..

"disappointing",
"not what I expected",
and "it's crap"

comments tonight then? Place your bets, ladies and gentlemen.
Probably within the first 90 seconds when things don't start "with a bang".

Comparisons with Downton will be greatly exaggerated.

Plus "I'm confused. What's going on?" and "It's boring" after 10 minutes of watching.

Well that started with a bang. Literally.

The script is pretty cliched so far. Not exactly Downton quality.

Does anybody know why it's not being shown in full screen?

I think it's been pretty good so far.

After that last scene in the bathroom, strangely this is now my favourite show on TV.

Yes. Nice little nude scene there with Kara Tointon!

And the series itself seems pretty good so far too.

It should be good, but I can't get into it for some reason.

You should be watching some peaches of London instead.

It all feels a little bit like play acting and not very realistic.

Detractors already !

I thought it very promising, and look forward to next week's episode.

All it needs is for Freddie to be killed in action and the spare will be Lord Hamilton.

Quite enjoyed that. I wasn't expecting an awful lot, something like Mr Selfridge in a Hotel but I like it more than that.

Certainly seen worse. saw Steven Mcintosh being interviewed on BBC breakfast the other day and he said it was a great first episode to "get to know" the characters. Wouldn't go that far but it was a decent hour and definitely worth tuning in next week

I thought it might be promising.

What is the exact relationship between Garland and Lord Hamilton? I think I missed something there.

Kara Tointon made a passable singer. I've heard worse on "Later with Jowls Holland."
