At the Servant's Ball (after Rosamund finds her "admirer" in bed with her maid, there's a dance scene, in which Isobel dances with Carson, Mrs Padmore with Matthew and Edith with Thomas, BUT does anybody know the song/musical piece they used in that scene? It is so great, I love music from the 1900s, 1910s,...

Please tell me if you know it!

Why was Mr. Green supposed to be addressed as "Mr. Gillingham" in the first episode he appears in Season 4?  Were all valets addressed by their employers' last name traditionally?  if so why; some remnant of English paternalism/feudalism or something like that?  I haven't finished the whole season yet, so I'm sorry if this is answered later in the series.

why is Sarah Crowden as Lady Manville not in the listings ?

Can you tell me the music-genre / how to find such music: This little Band playing, when Lady Mary is in London and meets Henry Talbot for dinner?!

Thank you very much!

Wonder why neither Netflix or Hulu have it uploaded, both have the series ending with episode 8. Had to read about it here.

Hello, can someone help me. I'd like to know where Cavenham Park (home of Larry and Amelia, former home of Lord Merton) is situated. Is it in Downton, in the neighbourhood or somewhere in Yorkshire? How far from Downton Abbey is it? The best I can find on this site is "Yorkshire". Thanks for your answer. ;-)

I'm curious about the origins of the Crawleys.  Where do their status, land and wealth come from.  With their seat at Downton Abbey, should we understand that the Crawleys were jumped-up Tudor courtiers rewarded at the Dissolution with this beautiful estate ?

I've been searching for a Carson/Mrs Hughes (Chelsie) scene where Mrs Hughes chides or jokes with Carson about his lack of self-awareness. Can anyone tell me what ep it was in?

I was wondeing - the wiki lists Mrs. Barrow as dead, but I don't remember bieng told that in the series. The only place I remember her being mentioned at all, in fact, was when he was talking with Matthew in the trenches and said "If only my mother could see me now", which can be a sign that someone is dead, but can also mean they're just a long way off and unable to see what's become of someone.

Is this clarified somewhere that I'm not aware of or are people simply assuming from the phrasing and the fact that she (along with the rest of his family, including his very alive father) are always refered to in the past tense in cut scenes and such?

I have a very unique situation and am not sure how to make it into a wonderful event. I am 67 and am the youngest member of the United Women's Club of Concord in Massachusetts.  Most of the members are in their 80s but we also have some in their 70 and few in their 90s.  We are all avid British Masterpiece Theater watchers and it's hard to avoid watching at least one season of Downton Abbey. Our club meets once a month September through March and we have speakers come to give talks and other interesting programming.  I was offered the job of getting the programming for the 2015-16 club year.  I contacted Channel 2 in Boston (WGBH) to see if they have anyone who will come and speak to our group about the period in British history Downton Abbey was based on, and possibly about the Crowley family but they do not have any outreach programs. Hope someone could help me with this.  Thanks.   Lisa

what ever happened to the fellow who came to DA and claiimed to have neen on the Titamic and   related to the  DA  family? 

When Robert and Patrick talk in episode 2.6, Patrick moves his finger as if he was touching his moustache (or if he was making a "shh!" sign touching his lips) and Robert says "Where did you learn to do that?". Does it mean that Patrick Gordon used to have a moustache, but Patrick Crawley didn't?

What can you say about the characters just when you hear them speak? Is it possible to recognize where they are from, if they are upper, middle or lower class etc.? Do the actors imitate the accents well? I've heard that they speak in very different manners, but English is not my first language, so it's difficult for me to say much more about it.

When Rose and the others are leaving the Lotus, Jack Ross sings a song. The first verse is "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. A violet renamed would still be blue. The daffodils will grow in spring. No matter what you call the thing. So what's in a name?"  

What is that song?

I was thinking something like:

So we have the episode, the story that occurs and any extra notes for other things. E.g. we'd have a mention of pre 1895 for Robert's father creating a trust fund as that is the latest he was alive. Thoughts?

There was an embroidery sampler, above the doorway downstairs, but the camera was never slow enough to enable one to read what it said. Any help here? Thank you.

Posted for Ragness.

Doesn anyone know the piece of music played when Thomas Barrow goes for an interview at Sir Michael's place and Sir Michael starts remembering the parties that were held and the fcaes of the girls as they walk up the stairs?

Thank you.

I have looked for the music that plays while Mary talks to Granny Violet after she ruined Ediths relationship with Bertie. It sounds like a soothed version of the suite, but i simply can't find it :( Can anybody help?

Where did Lady Mary meet Lord Gillingham in series 4 episode 8 I think when she asked him to get rid of his valet Green?  It was a glass conservatory type of building and I would like to know where this is in real life.  Thanks.
