Downton on PBS: Episode Six

If any American viewers are still watching this “entertainingly patchy” period soap opera, then the Guardian series blog caters for all your catch-up needs. In this week’s episode the Golden Eyebrow Award was even more hotly contested with Cousin Violet pipping Carson the Butler at the post with her rant about a “drunken gorilla”. A most unflattering reference to Branson’s mechanic brother. But painfully accurate, as many of Cousin Violet’s references often are.
