Belgravia

It's natural that anything Julian Fellowes does will be compared to Downton Abbey, and whilst Belgravia isn't quite up there, it's still a good watch.

As you'd expect it's the war of the classes, here the families of historical grandeur are joined by the nouveau riche, the new money seeking a place in Society.

It looks fabulous, terrific sets and costumes, I thought the acting was great, Harriet Walter as always can do no wrong, Tamsin Greig was a joy, loved watching her.

It won't be for everyone, but I thoroughly enjoyed it, tea and scandal, great for Sunday nights. 8/10.

Critics have said: "Bad Language" - Horrendously dull - No Downton Abbey - wasn't impressed so far - Not Ready for another go yet... - Wow, this is bad They all seem bigger snobs than the worthless 'gentry' who think they are better than others and entitled to luxury by some God given right. I found the story captivating and the acting excellent. Those haters out there can "sod off!" My only regret is guessing the surprise ending.

It is not DA, & doesn't try to be. It is bleaker and more sophisticated. Loving the scripting & cast, really enjoying it so far.

I love Belgravia. Another great British drama. I won't spoil the plot - but it is well written, has great characters and the entire cast is excellent. Can't wait for the next episode.

Thoroughly enjoying this series, lot's of dastardly dealings and intrigue with superb performances all round, including some hammy ones where necessary!

The only thing I would say, and it's a very minor point, is that it seems the music composer was told to come up with something very Downton like, and they have done. It's really noticeable to my ears!
