Show notes

Kelly and Tom kick off their recap of Downton Abbey S1: E1 with the one and only “Downton Abbey Suite” remix, making fun of Laura Linney, learning about the Boer War (which has nothing to do with Pumbaa), the lameness of valets, luncheon versus lunch, Maggie Smith’s digestive habits, O’Brien’s face, the difference between eggs and poison, awesome Victorian mustaches, a weasel up to starring opposite Christian Bale, saying “Mr. Bates” without giggling, and reminiscing about Antiques Roadshow. All this, plus lotsa love for “Boars, Gore, and Swords.” Logo by Suzanna Koolidge.
