Not confirmed, but I just read an article on the BBC site and also one in the Daily Mail that is saying that Maggie Smith will not be part of Downton Abbey after Season 3.

I saw something else that said nothing was decided yet. All we know for sure is that she'll be in season 3. After that =![]()

I'm just grateful that there will be additional seasons after Season 3.
Downton Abbey Season 3 is filming now and will premiere in September in the UK, in case you are watching on "alternative" sites online.

Has anybody here watched "Birdsong"? It was recommended to me by a friend. I have watched part 1 and some of part 2 and I am enjoying it. Pretty well done with the flashbacks. My only complaint is that I sometimes have a difficult time understanding dialogue mostly due to accents. It is still on demand here but only for a few days/

Is anyone else excited about the US premiere of Sherlock season 2 this Sunday? I liked the show a lot last season, and I'm a big Martin Freeman fan. I also like to say "Benedict Cumberbatch" out loud over and over. It's the most British sounding name. Try it, Benedict Cumberbatch, it's a lot of fun!
I can't wait for Sherlock either brunette trixie!! I loved the first season, and from everything I've heard, this one is just as good or better. I have been holding out and not watching it on-line, so the anticipation is huge.....totally looking forward to Sunday![]()

I have NO willpower. I watched season 2 as soon as it was available online. Even better than season 1!
