    My current favorite is the one from last week– “Have you changed your pills?”

    I would enjoy this show if it was just Maggie Smith saying things.

      If the BBC were smart they’d give her a talk show *AS* the Dowager Countess. I would SO watch that shit.

    Love this! My fave is her asking, “What is a weekend?”

    I liked it when Mary’s conniving millionaire suitor was dispensed with and he made one more statement “and then I will leave” and Violet just looked at him and said “you promise?”

    And when she said “Why does every day involve a fight with an American?”. (Almost every thing she says is gold.)

    There were a couple in the last 2 weeks (I am probably getting them wrong):
    “The one thing I don’t miss about parenting is the on and on-ness of it”, “The thing about nature is that there is just so much of it”

    I think they need to make one of these videos for Mrs. Patmore. She has great one-liners also.
