It's missing something
25 November 2023
I like the drama series Downton Abbey and it is nice to see this doco showing us the real It is based on, Highclere Castle. The interviewees all come across as very nice.

Maybe what is missing is a little drama Yes we are shown the luxurious exterior, rooms, gardens and farm but in a way it comes across as a promotional video.

I would have liked to have learned some stories about the real life characters over the years, or about how cooking and cleaning has changed. There were too many interviews with staff saying 'yes I really like my job and this is what I do'.

To engage the audience you need a bit more substance. Or maybe I am expecting too much. Maybe other fans will like this.
