TV review: Downton Abbey, the middle class and America:
Today New : Season 3 of Downton Abbey - as soap, drama and witheringly funny as ever, and at times devastatingly sad - begins in the spring of 1920, and now has all the modern scent. Daisy the kitchen maid rides a bicycle through the village of Mary and Matthew are planning their wedding, Anna is determined to find the evidence that will free Bates from prison, and in the midst of all that comes the real bombshell. Lord Grantham made a very bad investment, having lost most of his fortune American wife, they may have to put Downton on the market. The audience was taken in 2008 the economic crisis could touch.
When Robert tears to apologize for the loss, Cora reassures him: "Do not worry about me, I'm an American - the gun, will travel.". Not the most eloquent phrases she never said (and while not technically an anachronism that the bark was know that?), but the mood perfectly expresses how this season flatter and America, and that new-fangled ideas, middle class.
Remember, Matthew Crawley (Dan Stevens) was a middle-class lawyer before he suddenly declared heir, so it is not surprising that he is trying to drag Downton in the solvency and the future, with the Lord Grantham kicking and screaming. And it is unlikely ally: Sybil is back with her husband, the driver formerly known as Branson, now called the family, with varying degrees of discomfort, Tom. Matthew and Tom became a promising brothers-in-law-in-arms, the young and dashing antidote everything Edwardian stuffiness, lined up against the traditionalists represented Lord Grantham, Lady Mary and the Dowager Countess.
