This series is faithful to the original books because the author is very involved with the shooting, so much so that she even did a cameo in the series.
The one good thing about having memory problems from a stroke, is you can read a book a second time, and it is a new story each time. Count your blessings.

The Paradise and Mr. Selfridges are both great shows as well.

Same here, I watched all 4 seasons on DVD a few months ago. It is such a great show.

I was reading somewhere that Kim K. said she would love to have a part on the show and her husband has "approached" Lady Edith about it. If by some insane reason they do this....I will quit watching it. :P
