シーズン２まで観てきて、この物語に登場する善人は、下僕のウィリアムだけだと思っていました。
もう一人、いたのです。
やはりシーズン２で命を落としたラビニアが。
第一次大戦後、投資に失敗した伯爵ロバートは、妻コーラの持参金を失い途方に暮れていました。
ここで長女メアリーとの愛を取り戻したマシューに、亡き婚約者ラビニアの父の訃報が届くのです。
しかもマシューが、その遺産を相続することに。
あまりにもご都合主義？ と、感じましたが、そこは真面目なマシューですから、あぁでもないこうでもないと悩み抜くのです。
一時はメアリーとの結婚も危ういほどに。
でも、ラビニアは死の床で父親に宛てて手紙を残していました。マシューの幸せを祈る手紙を。
晴れて村中の喝采の中、結婚式は執り行われました。
次女イーディスにも花嫁衣装を着る機会が訪れます。
三女シビルは運転手だった夫、ブランソンの子を宿しています。
そして、私の大好きな侍女オブライエンさんと、今は伯爵の従者となって「バロウさん」と呼ばれているトーマスとの蜜月がとうとう終焉に向かうのです。
この二人が姉と弟のように、或いは一つの生き物のように結びついていたことは、シーズン２で全財産を失ってしまったトーマスを心配するオブライエンさんの姿が物語っていました。
天涯孤独、よるべなき者としてお互いを必要としていたように感じていました。
下僕ウィリアムが亡くなり、従者ベイツさんが無実の罪で服役して人手不足になったお屋敷に、新たに雇われた下僕の一人は、オブライエンさんの甥アルフレッドなのです。
そして、もう一人の下僕にトーマスは惹かれてしまいました。
トーマスの心をとらえた下僕ジェームズを上司のカーソンさんは嫌います。女性使用人たちを束ねるヒューズさんに言わせれば、ジェームズは「軽薄な遊び人」。
第一下僕の座を競うことになった甥を応援してほしいと頭を下げるように頼むオブライエンさんに、トーマスはいい返事をしないばかりか、ウソを教えてマシューの礼服を使えないようにしてしまったのです。
そんなことしたらトーマスの身に何が起こるのか！
今回もバイオレットおばあさまの一言一言は、日めくりカレンダーにしたいくらいでした。
マシューの母イザベルから、「子育てなんて、乳母任せで、あなたは一時間くらいしか見ていなかったのでしょう」と、揶揄されると、すかさず、こう打ち返します。
「確かにそうね。でも、毎日一時間よ」
伯爵の三女シビルの夫を呼ぶ声が、使用人時代の「ブランソン」から、家族として認めた「トム」へ変わったときの、とびきりの温かさは感動的です。吹き替えの一城みゆ希さんの声が物語を包む瞬間でした。

5つ星のうち4.0 ある意味でSFファン必見です
2018年3月25日に日本でレビュー済み
あの「クリケット」が見られます。
 銀河ヒッチハイク・ガイド (河出文庫) であんなにも（愛をこめて）こきおろされていたクリケットが！
全宇宙を見渡しても地球のイギリス地方でしか見られないと評判のクリケットが！
すごい、このひとたち本当にクリケットに血道を上げている！

他にも、英国あるあるネタと諧謔で埋めつくされたこのドラマ。まだ見たことのない方も、いきなりシーズン3の7話か8話あたりから入ってしまってもいいのでは。なにせ6シーズン、全52話もある連続TVドラマなので、どこから見始めてもだいたい楽しめるようにできています。

笑いあり涙あり、一家と使用人から見た激動の時代を描いた人気ドラマ……と、単純に言ってしまうと熱心なファンの方におこられそうですが、大体そんな話です。まさかAmazonプライムで全話見られるとは思いませんでした。
WW1からWW2の戦間期のイギリスを描いた、いわば時代劇です。（Historical period drama というそうです）
適度に戯画化された群像劇で、舞台を無理に広げず、基本的に「ダウントン・アビー」というカントリー・ハウス内で話が完結するので、わりと気軽に楽しめます。
ストーリーには批判的な方でも、少しずつ変化していく内装、服装、それに当時の風俗を忠実に再現した映像には満足されているようです。

何気に嬉しいポイントとして、マギー・スミス演じるバイオレットおばあさまは、オーソン・ウェルズはよく話題に出すのに『緋文字』は知らないという素敵な読書センスの持ち主です。
彼女が絶え間なく繰り出す貴族的なジョークを、イギリス英語で堪能できる。なかなかに贅沢な時間の使い方ではないでしょうか。

5つ星のうち5.0 DOES have 2012 Christmas Special, NINE Episodes, Here's a Synopsis of DVD Special Features!
2013年2月1日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み
Amazonで購入
If you haven't seen all of Season 3 and the 2012 Christmas special, called "A Journey to the Highlands", you probably don't want spoilers. I am going to give a synopsis of the Special Features, and that's difficult without giving some facts away as to season 3. Two important characters die in two different places on this 3-disc set (I won't say who, but the actor playing the one that dies during the Christmas Special wanted to leave the show). But having tragedy amidst the joy is what makes "Downton Abbey" a really really great show. I have a couple people hooked on "Downton Abbey" who have never watched "Masterpiece Theater" before!

This Season 3 DVD set contains three discs. It DOES have the 2012 Christmas Special. I have received my DVD set, ordered on this page, and it has parts 1 - 9 of Season 3, plus "A Journey to the Highlands" and 8 Special Features.

DISC 1:
Disc 1 has parts 1, 2, and 3 of Season 3 and 1 extra. English subtitles are available.
Special Features:
1. "Behind the Drama" (60 minutes) This is an fabulous overview of the first two seasons, with clips from the two seasons, interviews and rehearsal scenes. What I particularly liked is that it's not just a rehash of the plot lines, it includes why a plot line or character development was important or undertaken. Per the narrator, before WWI, there were 1.4 million people "in service" in England. Highclere Castle, "with more than 50 bedrooms, there was plenty to do." And plenty of rules, and the hierarchy below stairs was even stricter than above stairs.
When a scene takes place upstairs, they are really filmed at Highclere Castle. When below stairs, though, they were filmed on sets at Ealing Studios. That's because though the magnificent upstairs is much the same (except for bathrooms!) now as it was before WWI, the kitchens and downstairs have been modernized.
Remember the scene where "The Turk" enters Lady Mary's bedroom and she says, "You and my parents have something in common. You think I am much more of a rebel than I am." (Which is pretty humorous in itself, given that Mary is most tradition-hide-bound of the sisters.) Julian Fellowes tells us that the whole dead Turkish lover is based on a true story. A friend of his, who owns a Big House, "came upon a diary of one of his great-aunts, and this whole incident is recorded".
The commentators also touch on the Spanish Flu epidemic, which may have killed up to 50,000,000 people world wide. Most flus are most lethal to the very young and the elderly. I've read that the Spanish Flu, however, was most lethal to healthy adults. It made your immune system go wild, attacking your body as well as the virus. So the healthier your immune system was, the more likely it was going to kill you.

DISC 2:
Disc 2 has parts 4. 5. 6. and 7 of Season 3. English subtitles are available. There are no special features on this disc.

DISC 3:
Disc 3 has parts 8 & 9 of Season 3, as well as "A Journey to the Highlands" (the 2012 Christmas special) and 7 Special Features. English subtitles are available.
Special Features:
1. "Downton in 1920" (20 minutes) Commentators include Julian Fellowes (writer and creator), Brian Percival (director, episodes 1 & 2), Magi Vaughan (make up & hair designer), Caroline McCall (costume designer), Charmain Adams (production designer), Elizabeth McGovern (plays Cora, Countess of Grantham), Michelle Dockery (plays Lady Mary), Laura Carmichael (plays Lady Edith), Alastair Bruce (historical advisor), Jim Carter (plays Mr. Carson the butler), Lesley Nichol (plays Mrs. Patmore, the cook), Jessica Brown Finlay (plays Lady Sybil), Sophie McShera (plays Daisy Mason, cook assistant), Allen Leech (plays Tom Branson, the chauffeur), Brendan Coyle (plays John Bates), Gareth Neame (executive producer), Shirley MacLaine (plays Martha Levinson, Cora's American mother), Dan Stevens (plays Matthew Crawley), and Pete Gaine (from Motorhouse Hire Ltd, who supplied Matthew's marvelous 1920 car).
In Season 3, it's 1920. When we think 1920, we think "The Roaring Twenties". But, as Caroline McCall points out, "I think people's perception of the 20's is very different from 1920." Julian Fellowes points out that the Charleston dance craze didn't happen until 1926. The hair and costume designers had to show fashions changing gradually, because it's not as if everyone started dressing like flappers in 1920.
The rigid laced-up corsets of before the war, give way to bandeau corsets and breast-flattening bras. Even the men show subtle changes in their suit jackets, etc. Except for Mr. Carson, of course, who continues to wear exactly the same suit he always has.
It wasn't just clothing that was changing. As Alastair Bruce says, "We see this great imperial family gradually alter, as moral conscience takes us on a different path." Very much the way the Imperial British Empire was altering.
2. "The Wedding of Lady Mary" (18 minutes) Commentators include many from extra #1, with new ones: Victoria Brooks (head of publicity for "Downton Abbey"), Liz Turbridge (producer), Matthew 'Sparky' Ellis (location manager), Charmain Adams (production designer), Maggie Harris (resident of Bampton, where the wedding was filmed), Rev. David Lloyd (Vicar of Bampton), Timothy Word (crowd assistant director), Danielle Bennett (second assistant director), Rupert Steggle (crowd costume assistant), Hugh Bonneville (plays Robert, Lord Grantham), Rob James-Collier (plays Thomas Barrow, footman and troublemaker), Chris Croucher (first assistant director), Stephen Sorby (from Above the Line Security) and Joanne Froggatt (plays Anna Bates).
Victoria Brooks says, "It's almost the next royal wedding, dare we say it!" There were 209 total crew & cast, including the extras, and the paparazzi was wild to get a photo of "Mary" in her wedding dress.
3. "The Wedding of Lady Edith" (25 minutes) Commentators include many who also appear in the first 2 extras, as well as Robert Bathurst (plays Sir Anthony Strallan), Denis Maguire (supporting artist, plays the photographer at the church), David Holt (special effects technician) and Damian Butlin (standby propman).
Poor Edith - how many of us think that? Julian Fellowes says, "Her self-rebuilding will become another part of the story.... The subliminal message, I think, is we must get behind the wheels of our own lives."
We should take a poll. Did Sir Anthony act out of misguided honor or is he just a jerk? And if we don't think he's a jerk, how about Lord Robert's part in this?
4. "The Men of Downton Abbey" (12 minutes) Commentators appear in the first 3 specials. This focuses on how WWI was the changemaker, whether you were above stairs or below stairs. Hugh Bonneville says, "After the turmoil of the war, Robert thinks, in a way, that life will return to the way it was before the way. And, of course, it never will."
Alastair Bruce adds, "People have survived something [in WWI], and they are never going to forget what they've gone through.... It changes their view of what they expect from the world."
5. "Shirley MacLaine at Downton" (16 minutes) MacLaine hadn't been watching "Downton Abbey" herself, but she had friends who were addicts. It's a sign of how good the show is that it could get a Shirley MacLaine to be in it. Sophie McShera groans, "I didn't get to meet Shirley MacLaine and I'm so jealous."
Rob James-Collier is excited just talking about the meeting of Shirley Maclaine and Dame Maggie Smith on the show. "They are going to be epic, they really are. Two actual legends on screen, battling it out. The only thing I can liken it to is DeNiro vs Pacino in "Heat"!" ("Heat" is an American 1995 movie.)
6. "Behind the Scenes: The Cricket Match" (10 minutes) Many commentators appear before. New ones are Eddie Williams (3rd assistant director), Adam Ghillam (camera operator), Kevin Doyle (plays Molesley, the butler for Mrs. Crawley, Matthew's mother), Ed Speleers (plays Jimmy Kent, new footman), Cora Theobold (plays Ivy Stuart, new kitchen maid), David Evans (director episodes 7 & 8) and Matt Milne (plays Alfred Nugent, footman).
The match took three days to shoot. Mr. Carson takes part, and Jim Carter says, "It's lovely for Carson to be out in his cricket gear. First time in three years I've had a change of clothes." Only one cast member taking part in the match actually knew how to play cricket. Thanks to stand-ins and clever camera work, you wouldn't know it.
7. "Behind the Scenes: A Journey to the Highlands" Many familiar commentators, with these new ones: Lily James (plays Lady Rose MacClare), Andy Goddard (director for this episode) and Diana Scrivener (choreographer). For this 2012 Christmas special, cast and crew traveled, for filming, to Inveraray Castle, Scotland, seat of the real Duke of Argyll. Incredibly beautiful scenery, but everybody complains about the outdoor scenes where they were attacked by hordes of midges.
For the show, Inveraray stands in for Duneagle Castle, home of Sir Robert's cousin, Hugh 'Shrimpy' MacClare. His 18 year-old daughter, Rose, will, according to Julian Fellowes become a prominent character going forward. The staff that stays home at Downton Abbey aren't forgotten, and the episode shifts back and forth between Scotland and Downton. New romance is in the air for more than one character. Lesley Nichol says she asked Fellowes to give Mrs. Patmore a love interest, and he complied. Lesley says, "Mr. Tufton has taken over our local shop. He's a bit of a flirty ponce, which shocks her [Mrs. Patmore] sideways, really, because I don't think people flirt with Mrs. Patmore."

Season 4 of "Downton Abbey" starts filming in late February 2013. I can't wait to see it!

Concerne l'édition française Blu-ray.

Downton Abbey se remet des cicatrices de la Grande Guerre.
Tout pourrait aller au mieux. Nous sommes en 1920, en plein préparatifs du mariage de Lady Mary et de Matthew.
Mais les nuages ne tardent pas à s’amonceler : difficultés financières pour la famille Crawley, retour de Lady Sybil et de son mari Branson, roturier et activiste irlandais, prolongation de l'emprisonnement de Bates...et l'habituel lot d'intrigues et de drames inattendus.

Cette troisième saison est à la hauteur des précédentes.
Le microcosme de Downton continue à refléter l'inexorable transformation de la société : affaiblissement de la noblesse de titres au profit du monde des affaires, mécanisation et rationalisation des travaux, la difficile libération des mœurs...

Les acteurs sont toujours formidables avec comme d'habitude, une extraordinaire comtesse douairière (Maggie Smith), qui trouve pour une fois, une adversaire à sa taille en Martha Levinson (Shirley MacLaine), la pétulante américaine, mère de Cora.

Bref, plus que jamais, une série indispensable.

3 disques, 8 épisodes plus un épisode spécial ("Un château en Ecosse"). les bonus sont dispersés sur le 1er disque ("Downton Abbey en 1920 et "Les hommes de Downton Abbey") et sur le 3ème ("Le mariage de Lady Mary", " ..de Lady Edith", "Shirley McLaine à Downton Abbey", "Le match de cricket" et "En coulisses").

Les images sont parfaites qui rendent hommage à l'ahurissante beauté des lieux, avec une définition remarquable en tous points. Les pistes anglaise et française sont en DTS Digital Surround 2.0 et les sous titres sont disponibles en anglais et français.

Seul bémol : le menu est très peu pratique avec une navigation tout sauf intuitive. Pourquoi avoir modifié ce qui fonctionnait bien pour les précédentes saisons ?
