I think Lily James (Rose) is just wonderful in it. I also saw her in Cinderella so, counting her last season at Downton, this is the third time I've seen her play "young woman in love," and I think she does it fabulously.

It should have had at least one more season. Two DA actors in it were the actor who plays Spratt, and he played an equally annoying character.

In The Vicar of Dibley, Hugh Bonneville had a one time role as Jeremy, Geraldine's vicar friend who had secretly carried a torch for her. He performed the ceremony when she marries the new hunk in town, Richard Armitage. He was hilarious! Penelope Wilton was the spurned wife who decided to pose nude with her WA friends in Calendar Girls. That role was always in the back of my mind while watching her as Isobel!

Badger March 19, 2016 Share March 19, 2016 Here's something I found very cool although it won't mean much to anyone under 40: Back in Season 2, there was a character called General Robertson who was Lord Grantham's commanding officer. He did a scene where Robert was all excited about going to the front, only to be told that his return to active duty was more ceremonial than anything else, that basically they needed someone to go to military banquets and buck up morale. Anyway, the actor who played him is Jeremy Clyde who was the Jeremy of Chad and Jeremy. If you ever watch old "Dick Van Dyke Show" reruns, they played "The Redcoats" in a show which parodied Beatlemania. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/11937-the-cast-in-other-roles-beyond-their-stations/page/3/#findComment-2066281
