Loading... Downton Abbey: The Complete Scripts, Season Twoby Julian Fellowes
![]() None No current Talk conversations about this book. Picked this up at a library friends sale. As a fan of the show, I'm enjoying reading the scripts and hearing the actors' voices in my head. With Fellowes' footnotes about inspirations for scenes, viewpoints on history, and personal commentary, I am gaining greater appreciation for what the show has accomplished. Do I dare track down the other script volumes??? no reviews | add a review

I would say I'm glad I read if only for the very first line of the introduction, where Fellows notes the second season/series is very different from the first. As I watched I knew there was a decay (and fans differ on exactly where things started going wrong but I believe the rest of the show never lived up to the first season) and it was nice to see that confirmed, even if Fellows writes that it was a difference rather than deterioration. :P
Not much more to say. If you enjoyed the first version of this then you'll probably like it (unless you stopped watching or didn't like the later seasons). I still have some reservations: wish he had MORE notes, would have loved more details in some areas, less in others. I'm not sure I fully agree with some of the edits, changes or some of the intentions of Fellows but this was interesting to skim.
It's expensive for a book that is just scripts (in my opinion) of episodes and just a bit of commentary. Borrow from the library or be on the lookout for it cheap if you really want to read it. (
