@Mj12
Thank you for posting this! Dare I say dark and brooding Mr. Bates looks positively light-hearted and happy here??

Love anything DA, but first met Julian Fellowes as Lord Kilwillie in Monarch of the Glen.

It's quite old, but really a fab series.

Set in modern times, there is little of the lushness of DA, but it is still fun to watch.

Wow x 2:

Gosford Park was his first film. Way to start a distinguished career!

And he did the British miniseries on Titanic. I had no idea. It was so good. I wonder if it's available somewhere now. Everything else is factually incorrect and hype and stupid but his was factual and clever!

@Witchy Woman Julian Fellowes was an actor?? I just recently learned from @LoriLori that he wrote novels!!
Monarch of the Glen is often on PBS, but I've never seen it. I will now watch it to see Mr. Fellowes.
Thank you for the heads-up!

Imelda Staunton is joining the cast! Yay! Love her, especially as Professor Dolores Umbridge in the Harry Potter movies.

Sorry Lily James isn't in it. I'm a big fan of hers and I'd like to know how Rose is doing. .

I will have to check for it on PBS -- although I have watched the entire series twice. I simply adore it, and the end is as satisfying as it could be given all the changes that occur.

Kilwillie is a wonderful character and I was in love with him at first sight! Not a handsome gent, but just appealing. So talented!

I did not know who that is so I looked her up. She is married IRL to Mr. Carson!

@Mj12 wow! I had no idea. Thanks for letting me know that! She is a classically-trained actress who has had a successful career in theater, film and television. I'm happy to learn she's married to Carson. Show business marriages are so difficult and break up so often, I checked and was glad to learn they've been married a long time.
