I simply love her! "Granny" is blackmailing the vicar...! I love her smile after her speech.

Maggie Smith is just brilliant!

Apparently the Dowager Countess plays hardball!

She's the kind of grandmother we all wish we had. :)

Watching this scene was so wonderful. Just like having my great-grandmother back and in front of me. She was such a "Proper Pistol". Maggie Smith is so beautiful. Evenmore so now with those big blue eyes. My Gran had big blue eyes too. I'm sure Julian Fellows used alot of real people from his life & past to create the characters. It just felt like being with family again, that have all passed on. The dialogue is so true to them & their time. .....Amazing.

You don't get to be that old without learning how to deal with people ;)! Maggie Smith is awesome!!

@brightonking69 thanks, but I'd rather not watch it yet--as I live in the States and we've just seen Season 2, episode 4 last Sunday..
