i hate them.......

till i was dying with the flu from boxing day onwards & was bedridden, ITV3 was playing back to back downton abby over 3 days & there was nothing else on so i started watching in the hope id fall asleep......I was hooked & even sent the OH out on boxing day to find some non-drowsy flu medicine so i could stay away as the other stuff knocked me out

.....sad

I thought it was excellent

I liked the original upstairs downstairs but they done a horrible remake at christmas ugh

I loved Downton too. My hubby hates costume dramas but said that Downton was alright ....which in his language means he enjoyed it.

Cant wait for the next series

I do enjoy some period stuff, but haven't watched any of those you've mentioned lol. I have read some of the books though. I would have enjoyed watching downton I think but hadn't heard of it till half way through.

I watch mostly fantasy and scifi, but I love Arthurian stuff....although I guess that still qualifies as fantasy. We're loving game of thrones at the moment, or were until the season finished, roll on season 2! Still costumes but I guess not the ones you meant

when i was younger my family used to be a part of a 14th century Medieavel re-enactment group
found it all highly embarressing, hated it but got to travel round the country and see some fab castles

but due to this i cant watch these dramas it reminds me of it al and the nights of sewing costumes
