Been watching in on catch-up tv to try and get up to speed before tonight. Still bit traumatised by the end of the last episode. Not sure I have forgiven Julian Fellowes

It wasn't JFs fault. Dan Stevens decided to leave.

Very excited for tonight.

Nobody is going to be allowed to have children whilst living at Downton Abbey anymore, as it is surely a death sentence for one of the parents.

Ooooh - it starts tonight??!

Mary is so going to end up with Branson. My prediction is that it will be a will they/won't they thing for ages.

I was never a lover of period type drama and didn't watch Downton when it was first on telly, but for some reason I bought all the series on my iPad and loved it. I can't wait for tonight, although I have got quite used to watching it by myself, so will be annoyed if Mr Whinging makes any comments.

You mark my words - it will be DA's equivalent of Ross and Rachel

I'm in.

I want Edith to be interesting and happy with her newspaper man this series. I actually cried when she was jilted Blush

Excited here as well, but will be recording it as going round a friends, plus my viewing won't be slowed down by pesky adverts.
Not sure how I feel about Mary and Branson.

Agree with Loupee recording as an hours viewing plus 30 mins of adverts would drive me insane - going to a pub quiz anyway.
Not sure how I feel about watching it now though.

I'm in! Can't wait. Bit disappointed to learn the slightly evil O'Brian isn't going to be in it though.

I've been to Highclere, it's stunning.
