  1. I've never watched it but I've heard it's good. Perhaps I'll catch up on DVD.

  2. Oh, how I LOVE Downton Abbey! We do not own a T.V., so we'll have to wait until next summer to see if the library has it. We borrowed both seasons 1 and 2, and watched them for hours on end. I can't wait to see season 3!!!
    Enjoy!

  3. This is a great set of trivia. I went to a Downton Abbey party, too, but they didn't do trivia, they did stuff us full of yummy scones, though!
