  • Haha yes @geckogabbysnape :P

  • Kde se dá zdarma stáhnout???

  • Comment removed

  • @Z3r0K1ll4h i did!!! i was super happy about it hahaaha

  • check out GARROWS LAW.just as good.

    all great shows

  • Am I the only one who burst out in tears when Matthew proposed to Mary? XD

  • @Z3r0K1ll4h I totally did! haha. I'm so addicted to this show it's ridiculous

  • this show is soooooooo amazing!!

  • I'm midway in season 2, and I noticed that Mary seemed to have thinned quite a bit. So far it's my 2nd best show behind 'Band of Brothers'. Hope they don't prolong it too much; these things destroy the shows. I gave up on breaking bad and dexter after so many seasons.

  • Anyone notice that the bell in the opening credits doesn't make a noise until the 3rd episode of the 2nd disk of Downton? XD

  • this song is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO soothing i wanna cry

  • Ahhhhh this is my fav TV show evaaaaaar and PLUS it has like an AMAZING soundtrack! I've only seen the first two episodes and I'm already obsessed with it. That and Dr. Who and NCIS.

  • In some way this almost makes me cry. Amazing piece of art.

  • amazing music

  • I love this song so much!!! I can play piano and I wish can play this music! :3

  • Been humming this all morning long. Long live Carson the butler!

  • Love it, both the music and the series.

  • Just wondering, but what is there to dislike about this video?

  • @TARD1S77 It's too short? It's not played live in the person's house? That's all I can think of.

  • @TARD1S77 omg your a downton abbey fan AND a doctor who fan! i think i love you.

  • @thedoctorthesexyone And now I love BOTH of you. Doctor Who and Downton Abbey are my SHOWS.

  • @colleentj omg and i just started watching downton abbey a few weeks ago and im already obsessed with it :D doctor who will be my show forever and always, and i absolutely love downton abbey :)

  • can someone please tell me the name of the song when they're galloping across the field, hunting, in season 1 episode 3 (the episode with kamal parmuke)

  • @UnknownOzBreed "Love and the Hunter," and fortunately it is on Youtube

  • I love this show, it's far better than most shows out there nowadays. It's so complex but yet simple at the same time, and it's classy--something many show lack today. In my 13 years I have never seen a show that even compares.

  • @UnluckyThirteen7 I agree with you, I hope it lasts for many series to come and not just end at series 3 or 4 like lark rise to candleford >:( I hate it when they keep rubbish shows running for years like big brother and masterchef and south park and get rid of actual good shows after a short time

  • Every time I hear this I get chills :D It is so hauntingly beautiful, hearing this in the first series/season made me fall in love with classical music (or non-pop/alternative, which is what I listen to usually)

  • @MewPanda96 that's good, but its not classical music.

  • I found out about this show in some awards and I watched little pieces of it before but never the whole thing. But boy was I wrong to not start seeing it earlier!! I am completely hooked and watched the first season in half a day and am on season two now. Love it, great story, setting and acting, beautiful song too. There is nothing not to love about this show!;)

  • If people are comparing Downton Abbey to the new BBC 1 series of Upstairs Downstairs, then it is quite true DA is better. However, if people mean the original 1970 to 1975 London Weekend Television produced series for the ITV network, then no way. Nothing, and I mean nothing will ever come close to the sheer brilliance of that series, the writing, the acting, the characterisations were wonderful..It may have been made many years before my time, but it outclasses Downton every time.

  • @DaveyC95 I'll have to disagree with you there, no period drama will beat DA, because it's amazing. Nuff said.

  • @pinkangel901 You are too young to have seen the original UD, I am, but older than you. so you cannot really compare unless you've seen it..The original UD had a combined worldwide audience of over 1 billion people, nothing has come close since and all the critics say Downton is good, but not as good as the original Upstairs Downstairs. How right they are.

  • just finished season two, amazing! have to wait 9 more months.

  • @goseeforyourself Did you watch the christmas episode?

  • I want to watch series two sooooo badly! I haven't been this obsessed with a TV series for ages!!!

  • I am SOOOOOSOOOOOOOOOOOO excited about season 2!!!!!

  • Me encanta esta serie...

  • GO BATES!!!!!! i think i look like daisy

  • Excellent

  • To think that critics slated this and compared to Upstairs Downstairs as being better and look at it now! i adore this! my mum literally cried when i gave her the boxset for this :P with happiness and screaming excitement of course. We hated Upstairs Downstairs,

  • @EePee9 My sister didn't like Upstairs Downstairs as much either...I am not sure if anyone but my step-dad did and he might not have either. I just started watching Downton Abbey a few weeks ago and love it.

  • This, Robin Hood, Merlin and Doctor Who show that we British make hella good TV programmes.

  • Does anyone know the actual name of the song? :D

  • @Kepiakahimz Downton Abbey i guess...:P

  • I love the music and show, reminds me so much of UpStairs DownStairs.

  • I discovered this show when I saw it winning awards on TV and this theme was playing. My first thought was "what is this British show with Maggie Smith in it that has amazing music? Why haven't I seen it yet?" Waiting for PBS to air the second season next week!

  • Team Bates!

  • I looooove this music :') And Downton Abbey too...

  • I just started watching this today; I was instantly blown away by this music. The six episodes available on Netflix I know will not be enough.

    Thanks for posting!

  • I wish I had the chance to live in the olden days. I know it wasn't all bright and merry but it was far better than today. *le sigh*

  • This is one of the best soundtracks of the year by far. It mixes so well with this royal telling. I love it.

  • downloaded theme off iTunes woop

  • very nice TV show

    I love these kind of TV shows

    I was born in the wrong epoch...

    lol

  • Such brilliance is a rare sight. 

  • hermoosa!!

  • the brits always have the best tv shows (:

  • best show i watched in a looong time! the cast is brilliant! its not like watching a tv show at all, when i watch it its like i am getting a glimpse to the past!

  • Beautiful piece of music. ^_^

  • I fail to see how anyone could dislike this music. It's amazingly beautiful!

  • I love it... I'm from Brazil and it's amazing...

    I love to watch.... I hope it be longer....

    Congrats....

  • I dont care much for the drama, but this piece of music is amazing :D

  • Remind anyone else of the X-Files?

  • shame season three won't arrive til' 2013 :/

  • @NeurovisionGorn why 2013. thats forever

  • @NeurovisionGorn It's 2012 for Britain, you can always watch online or download torrents! :D

  • ??????? WHY IS PROFESSOR MCGONAGALL THERE?????

  • @2010sommers that would be because Maggie Smith is a cast member?

  • @2010sommers Professor Mcgonagall is there bcoz she is AWESOME, and also bcoz she wants to be a part of an EQUALLY AWESOME show. :D There ur answer. :D

  • I thoroughly enjoy this theme. It is very breathtaking, full of spirit.

  • My mom got addicted and told me to watch it.....now I'm addicted :)

  • The theme song is simply lovely and beautiful just like Downton Abbey itself ...

  • I love this song and I haven't ever watched the series lol

  • Not only your mum, me too. Addicted to the style and fantastic acting. Love it.

  • Favourite TV show, by far. The cast is just downright AMAZING, I just wish the seasons were longer :( I can't wait a whole year for season 2 to start! (I'm from Portugal, so it's not as advanced here. But it took the country by storm!)

    Amazing piece of music, as well. I could just go on and on about the beautiful-ness of this show, but that would take years :)

  • @carolinaaohh Well noone does period drama like the british plus they kept on to their aristocracy for a long time, HOWEVER, dont forget that a lot in those period drams is just wishful thinking and it's always good not to get carried away, it's a good thing that things have changed since and even if we look fondly on those years, the servants might not agree however eh.

  • @Linternauter Haha, very true! :) While I do enjoy watching the way they lived back in the beginning of the 20th century, and I think it was one of the most beautiful times, it is a good thing that things have changed. It is funny to see them all so dumbfounded by things like a telephone or electricity that are so basic now in our daily lives. :)

  • @carolinaaohh I feel your pain! From Portugal too, just watch it online :D

  • @LisaCrazyFingers I could.. But I prefer to watch it on TV. :) Season 2 already started afterall (on FoxLife) but it will probably end in February. :(

  • @carolinaaohh You should definitely watch the 2011 chrismas special, it's AMAZING. I LOVE THIS SHOW and am only 15, ppl always think thats weird. oh well. THIS SHOW IS AMAZING :D

  • @carolinaaohh i agree. maggie smith is the best

  • @carolinaaohh so with you on that

  • @carolinaaohh

    Agree,

    I have to wait for the second season too in here :(

  • 18 amazing actors!

  • this song reminds me of my mum;)

  • I have not been able to watch the show but every time I hear this song I feel like I really should try again. It is just so beautiful.

  • Series 3 Downton page. Just up and running now ! Type in 'Downton Abbey Series 3. 2012 ' :-)

  • best 3 minutes of my life:) literally. no jokes.

  • beautiful, mesmerizing, haunting... i could listen to this over and over for hours and not get tired of it.

  • gosh, just watched the season finale of season 2:) what a beatiful piece of work, the show and this song. truly beautiful.

  • Lord Grantham is a customer in my pet shop!

  • I hate to say this...but it occurred to me last night when I was watching it last night...but doesn't this theme sound like a classed-up version of the X-Files? LOL!

  • @artsysimone Yes I've been saying that!

  • perfectly composed

  • Downtown abbey series is starting on our channel (ep 4 is hilarious, can't wait to post it)

  • the theme tune has words, sung by Mary-Jess, search for it, it really does complete the song!

  • @flm1652 not the real theme tune, tahts just on the soundtrack, the real one is this one

  • i love the fact that because its British the yanks imediatley love it HAHA

  • How are people disliking this? How is that humanly possible? :')

  • the UK best Tv program and now the worlds season 2 is epic we have 2 ep left and then it is the end but it is back fro xmas and for 2012 with season 3

  • @warjakeboy there are only two ep left! Depressed now!!! I also heard they are finishng after season 3!! Major Depressed now!!

  • @chickflickaddict91Dont worry! actually the show's executive producer Gareth Neame has said they will continue to make more series until viewers get bored,

    He said he see's no reason that it cant continue to run and run..

  • @bamptonbred Omg U have just made my week!!!!

  • @bamptonbred I can say,, I think on behalf of many,many people, I will never get bored and thank you for reporting such good news that there will be lots of series to come in the future

  • Whenever i listen to this song i get excited because it feels like im about to watch a new episode of downton abbey. :(

  • I LOVE DOWNTON ABBEY!

  • Comment removed

  • I love this music.

  • @MrOpenGamer Random...

  • @zcheeseolly

    LOL, I know, right? ;-)

  • where can i get the music esp guitar tab for this tune?

  • Anyone else who loved the scene where Bates pushed Thomas to the wall? GO BATES!

  • Nothing wrong with a bit of nostalgia and seeing the good things about bygone eras. I personally wished we still lived in a time where hat-wearing was practically compulsory :)

    At the same time I completely understand christinekuli's point: that every time has as many ills about it as our own time and it's easy to forget that - even with a period like Downton Abbey's where there are rather obvious drawbacks like a huge part of the population being obliterated by war, flu epidemic etc.

  • i love this series and i honestly believe i was born in the wrong period of time of course i would of liked to be born upper class not pore because that was terrible but just the feel and that is when England was true England and the dresses and uh everything.

  • thanx downloading this for my iPod now!!!

  • one of those tunes that gets you listening out for it while you're watching! Love the minor chords makes it haunting and sad.

  • The theme tune is so beautiful :)

  • I love this theme, it's almost 'Dark and Brooding' and then changes to 'Light and Airy', and back again... wonderful music and FANTASTIC series too... Can't wait for Sunday evening to come along... *sighs*

  • Comment removed

  • hey sounds pretty goo but towards the the end near the turn around you are missing a chord change maybe listen to the song again. but other wise it is quite nice, just get that movement in there

  • havent really givin the show a chance but them theme is beautiful

  • so beautiful! love maggie smith :)

  • Good song, it reminds me slightly of the 'Heavy Rain' (PS3) theme tune? Eerie and calming.

  • I love these kind of music :) It soothes my mind alot

  • Thought I was listening to the X-files theme song...

  • I listen to hard core metal and i watch Downton abbey, pride and prejudice all that sort of stuff :)

  • @JDHDPr0ductions word!! not sure if i'm on the same page with 'hardcore metal' but my favourite band is parkway drive and this has become my favourite tv show. then again i'm an english major at uni and period drama has always interested me.

  • @phurjuzt01 Not really, I can play them both on the piano, and while its sound is similar to the untrained ear, its mechanisms are not, and nor is the song! Both are outstanding pieces of work by English minimalist composers.

  • Just finished the last episode! Love this series!! Cant believe we have to wait til January...

  • @ichigojello Its a British drama so you can wait just like we do in England for american shows. Don't be impatient, series two is outstanding!

  • this makes me sad, i'd give anything to have been around during this period of time.. and the history in the programme is just! gahh i have goosebumps

  • @stephisacoolbean As interesting as it is to watch, I don't understand why in the world you would want to live back then. If you were poor you would remain so for the rest of your life, and if you were rich you would have to marry without love out of duty to your family. Not to mention the total oppression of women.

  • @christinekuli7 i think you need to not take me so literally.. i understand this but maybe you didnt think id like to be as a young girl mary? or edith? i totally understand the harshness of the living standards for the lower class but you dont need to be so critical of a silly wish!:) i just want to show how much i love history!

  • @stephisacoolbean I'm sorry, I didn't mean to critize :) I was just baffled that you wanted to live in a time where people were so unfree ;) But if you're refering to the clothes and stuff, I wholeheartly agree

  • @christinekuli7 haha okay! .. oh definietly to the clothes.. i'm envious of some of the actresses! the clothes really are lovely!

  • @stephisacoolbean you would have given anything to live in the war?? But I know what you mean this is amaazing

  • @hollypendulum haha i realised how that sounded once i commented.. but hey, 13 people agree! hehe

  • @hollypendulum There wasn't war *in* Britain though...

  • @christinekuli7 and their husbands and partners were of dying in the war? Just because it wasn't in Britain doesn't mean it wasn't horrible, now if you don't mind I am trying to listen to this beautiful theme tune.

  • @hollypendulum Not my fault you can't properly express yourself.

  • @stephisacoolbean i wish id been born then, i would have suited that time perious better

  • @stephisacoolbean I'm the exact same(:

    I love their morals & values in those days. They're so graceful.

    I'd literally give anything to live in that period of time too..

    MAH. D:

  • @ChuurBroski I agree.

  • @ChuurBroski

    it would definately be an amazing period of time to live in like you say, but the only thing that i would change is how much power men have over women.....

  • @takethathpgleebeatle That's very true. But still that doesn't stop me from wanting to live in that period of time! If only.. D:

  • @ChuurBroski

    yeah, if only... but actually, it would kinda suck if you lived in that period of time and you were very poor. just look at Ethel.

  • @takethathpgleebeatle Well, you have a point there. But she slept with some weirdo, so that's her fault. ;)

    Even the poor got somewhere, somewhere along the line. Have you begun to watch Season 2 already..?

  • @ChuurBroski

    in England, season 2 has already finished. where are you watching it??? the season finale was on the 6th

  • @takethathpgleebeatle Oh, I'm in New Zealand(: We're only at the beginning of Season 2. -_-

    I got tired and started watching online. The Season 2 finale was epic. <3 ..But sad.

  • @ChuurBroski

    yeah, it was so sad when Lavynia{ i don't know if i spelt that right} died. did Carson get better???

  • @takethathpgleebeatle Yeah! & when they were at the funeral it felt to me like nobody actually cared.. o.o

    Except Matthew of course.(: And yes, I think he did. Thank goodness(: I hope that Richard dude dies though. Or leaves. I don't like him.

  • @ChuurBroski

    see now, richard carlisle makes things interesting. and what happened to that patrick crawley guy??? that was such a good mystery. he better come back. who's your favorite character. mine's thomas the footman :)

  • @takethathpgleebeatle I hope they do more on Patrick Crawley. There's some potential there. & Thomas? He may be hot.. But really? He's so devious! My favourite must be ... Anna. She's so sweet. And the love she has for Mr Bates.. Bloody hell.  Too bad he got arrested. Poor thing.

  • @ChuurBroski

    exactly! he's hot and sly! ha ha anyway, i find anna a bit of a goody too shoes, she's just to well behaved for me. the well behaved one's are boring and i don't like them but you could probably already tell that because i said ,y favorite character was one of the most evil character's :)

  • @takethathpgleebeatle I love her anyway.. Who irritates you the most??

  • @ChuurBroski

    mary probably...she's been so mean to Carson lately.....she's so full of herself.vmy fav sister is probably edith at the moment because i think lady sibyll is being a bit naive.

  • @takethathpgleebeatle Agreed. Since they announced the war; Edith has changed... For the better :P

    Sibyll is so beautiful though. I love her voice. :'D So raspy.

    Do you know when the next Season is going to start? Or isn't there gonna be one? o.o

  • @ChuurBroski

    well, i heard there was going to be a christmas special but i'm not entirely sure....... and your right, Sibyll's voice is lovely :) i like carson's awell, it's very funny :) and i love Cora's american accent. god i miss america......:) you ever been there??

  • @takethathpgleebeatle Ahaha, Yeah(': Carson's a sweetheart. Cora's accent is weird to me.. A mixture between an american accent and a british accent. I've never been to America... Is it good?

  • @ChuurBroski

    Cora's accent is a mix between a british accent and an american accent. it's just an american accent :) yeah america's A-MA-ZING!!!! apparently Downton's very popular over there too :)

  • @takethathpgleebeatle Well, it must be everywhere. It's just amazing. I ish addicted.

  • @ChuurBroski

    i'm COMPLETELY addicted!! lol the script is so good :) and i think that mrs. hughes and carson used to have a relationship because their so honest and deep with eachother :) what do you think??

  • @takethathpgleebeatle I've never thought of that.. but now that you mention it, it could be a possibility! :D

    Mrs Hughes is the bomb diggity.

  • @ChuurBroski

    what does bomb diggity mean??? is it another way of saying awesome?? cuz i think carson is more amazing :) and daisy's pretty cool too. she doesn't have many lines but she's still awesome:)

  • @takethathpgleebeatle

    WHAT???? She is American. Duh. "Over there"??? Um.....ya. An English show, popular in England. Wow. You sir, are obviously an American genius (pffffft! - like they exist!!)

  • @MichelleLara11

    i meant to say america. it was a minor typo. and "over there"? i'm english and was obviously talking about america so stop being so rude to me AND stop butting in into other people's conversations.

  • @takethathpgleebeatle Series 3 Downton page. Just up and running now ! Type in 'Downton Abbey Series 3. 2012 ' :-)
