There’s a surprise at the Abbey (but still no Paul Giamatti) in this week’s gentle, enjoyable episode…
This review contains spoilers.
In the end stages of any faltering relationship, when it’s all but dead and buried and the mental dividing-up of belongings has begun, a destabilising flash of what first brought you together can blow in from nowhere. Are we making a mistake, you think, chucking all this in? We used to be good together, didn’t we. Didn’t we?
This week’s Downton Abbey was just that sunny moment, a visitor from days past whose reappearance reminded us why we were so keen to wrap Downton’s cosy duvet around ourselves in the first place. It was so stuffed with familiar old standards - the Crawleys being confronted by the twentieth century, Violet and Isobel butting heads, a scandal brewing at the Abbey,...

Warner Brothers is lining up an American remake of the 2000 Irish comedy-drama "Wild About Harry" reports Variety.
In the original, Brendan Gleeson played a TV chef who is assaulted the night before his divorce hearing. Partial amnesia means he can't remember anything past his 18th birthday, and he uses the opportunity to correct the mistakes he's made in life.
Kirk Rudell ("Will and Grace," "Spin City") will write the screenplay while Michael Connolly ("How to Train Your Dragon") is producing. No director is yet set.
