I've never watched it either but yep, "posh soap" is how my friend (an avid watcher) describes it!
wink
I've never watched it, but I wouldn't describe it as a soap. for one thing soaps run continuously, and not in series'.
I'd call it a costume drama.
A bit like 'Upstairs, Downstairs' then dunno

I would have thought exactly like that from the descriptions given!
They are more or less the same. Both are described elsewhere as period drama's and bothe are set in the run up to the first World War through to the interwar years.
I think the essential difference is that upstairs downstairs is set in the city and the other one isn't.
I've not watched it either but agree with Trevaunance that its a costume drama...
I have to admit ... I don't watch much TV but Downton is one of my guilty pleasures. I'd agree, costume drama.
Historically anachronisticc aristocratic arse licking shite ...... BB loves it
I missed this on TV but bought the first series a few weeks ago on DVD after hearing it was worth watching.
I have since watched it, so you could loan it Flower so you form your own opinion about it. wink
Off to get the 2nd series :-D
