Downton Abbey - Let's get started

Okay - I didn't watch the first episode last night when it came out. But I will tonight. By the time I got out of the kitchen, it was late and I was tired. Besides this gives me something nice to watch on a
Monday evening after work. Summaries and Comments on each episode to follow.
