Kym Cattrell is hillarious, and better than Elizabeth McGovern in the same role.
Ha ha ha! Love it and love the original, of course! Saunders does a brilliant Maggi Smith.
@IMO – thanks for the tip. I would have been real p*** off, if the part 2 spoiled the Sunday episode for me!
Hilarious, I love Downton Abbey and this is done very well.
its funny. I was just watching their Mamma Mia parody from Comic Relief 2009. you should check that one out = gold
Damn, but I’d watch that show! It’s better than the original, and that’s pretty good to start with.
this is hillariois, part 2 is great. Lumly as maid “I’ve done broadway also”
I see Joanna Lumley is “downstairs” at 43 sec, Kim Cattrell at 1.21, Jennifer Saunders at 1.44, Funny!!
This is just brilliant! There is a Part 2 on You Tube but be warned – it has a major storyline spoiler in it that we haven’t seen yet – wait till after Sunday to watch.
It’s written by Jennifer Saunders. Sanders and French usually write something for every Red Nose Day/Comic Relief. Alongside her are Joanna Lumley, Olivia Colman (Debbie Doonan from Beautiful people) Victoria Wood, Harry Enfield, Simon Callow, Bruce Byron (DC Terry Perkins from The Bill) and Kim Cattrall. Also of note is that Saunders daughter Freya is one of the maids.This isn’t just some run of the mill fast forward sketch with a few extras thrown in. And yes, it’s narrated by Michael Gambon. I actually thought it was worth a bit of a chuckle, Anthony. I doubt Saunders is having a real dig at it considering she and French have been taking the proverbial out of all the other shows, films for years. All in good fun.
I saw this ages ago & it is very funny.
I love British Humour it’s the Best.
You don’t need to be a fan of Downton Abbey to find this funny.
@anthony? Not funny? Wow. Its a brilliant piece of comedy in the style of Victoria Wood’s Acorn Antique’s. I love Downton Abbey but given the choice I wish Upstairs Downstairs Abbey was the real version.
It sounds like Micheal Gambon narrating. & LOL at Kim Cattrall mentioning her Sex & The City millions & that whole ‘maid’ run.
I’ve seen this weeks ago and wasn’t impressed. They’re poking fun of the right things, but I just don’t find it funny… Especially since I think Downton Abbey is a brilliant show!!
