I don't want to spoil this episode for anyone who hasn't seen it, but I just wanted to say how fantastic this Christmas Special was. This series has been entertaining from start to finish and this special seasonal one was certainly no exception.
Dame Maggie Smith was he usual brilliant self, in fact, the whole cast gave it their all and shone like beacons. Kudos especially to Michelle Dockery and Joanne Froggatt for such fine performances, and to the excellent Nigel Havers in his guest role as Lord Hepworth.
There was everything from drama to comedy and all things in between and I hope that all 'Downton' fans will give it the appreciation it deserves in the ratings.
A great performance by one and all.

AIRED:
It is now Christmas, 1919, just a little over a year since the end of WWI. The Crawley family intend to make it a lavish affair for themselves and their guests, even though the arrest of John Bates, for the murder of his wife, Vera, causes a lot of tension in the household as everyone awaits the outcome of his trial, especially his new wife, Anna.
Problems are brewing for Violet as she is more than a little unsure of her daughter, Rosamund's new beau, who seems almost a little too good to be true and strife continues for Lady Mary and Sir Richard after yet another confrontation between the two.

Matthew: You've lived your life and I've lived mine. And now it's time we lived them together.
Mary: We've been on the edge of this so many times, Matthew. Please don't take me there again unless you're sure.
Matthew: I am sure.
Mary: And your vows to the memory of Lavinia?
Matthew: I was wrong. I don't think she wants us
to be sad. She was someone who never caused a moment's sorrow in her whole life.
Mary: I agree.
Matthew: Then will you?
Mary: You must say it properly. I won't answer unless you kneel down and everything!
Matthew: Lady Mary Crawley, will you do me the honour of becoming my wife?
Mary: Yes!
