I personally feel that the Australian Downton promos set to Ke$ha capture the show’s gravitas in more intimate ways than ITV’s promos set to the choral renditions of Scala & Kolacny Bros.

Here’s the brief DA-exclusive teaser that just aired during the X Factor tonight.

“You must not marry him.”

EEEEEEK. 

I’m sorry, but in amidst all the hubbub on my dash—nobody’s going to talk about the fact that it’s set to a dramatic choral rendition of Wham!?

Nobody?

damemaggiesmith: “Due to the fact I was having a Thomas’ hair cut that day I missed the first thirty minutes of rehearsal and found I couldn’t keep up. I have two left feet, cannot waltz or indeed dance for toffee and then I had to take the legend that is Dame Maggie Smith for a spin on the floor! I was so nervous and managed to stand on the Dame’s toe but we had a laugh and she was so great with me. I think she humored me and my two left feet.” — Rob James-Collier

dollsome-does-tumblr: Things I Actually Loved About Downton Abbey Season 2 In Between All The Unnecessary Pain And Incoherent Rage, In No Particular Order |#14 - THE PERFECT SOLUTION: THREE PERSON MARRIAGE. BOOM. Why did this epiphany never hit you, JFells? Threesomes > wildly-convenient-yet-profoundly-inconvenient death by Spanish flu, always. That is just Storytelling 101! Clearly, he needs to watch more Spartacus: Gods of the Arena. All I wanted, and what I will not shut up about, was for them to just pony up and commit to their Hemingway bullshit, to their stupid two-second heir-return fakeout, and to the show’s bonkers timeskips, and let these three fuck out of Downton and get a flat in London in the Jazz Age.
