Downton Countdown II


Just two episodes left to rinse the soap off this drama.  Last week I complained about Carson, and suggested the writers kill him off.  I still would vote for that in the scriptwriter’s meeting, but in the meantime Ms. Patmore and Ms. Hughes had a brilliant idea.

As he moved round the kitchen he stumbled
He bumbled, he groused and he grumbled
As Carson worked
Mrs. Hughes smirked
But was he sufficiently humbled?

Episode Seven cleared up Moseley’s future, but Barrows’ future is still held tightly in the writers’ hands.  

With Barrows they haven’t a clue
They’re attempting to find something new
He was good at playing bad
Now he’s lonely and sad
He’s survived all that they’ve put him through.

They’ve tried hard to break Barrows free
Of Carson’s overt enmity
They’ve given him the skill set
So the writers could get
Him a job as restaurant maitre d’.
