I would just like to say that Keeley Hawes is simply exquisite in the part of Lady Agnes. I found myself absolutely mesmorised with her acting and have recorded the series so that I can watch it again and again. I really was taken away to a different time and place when watching all of the brilliant actors, I thought they were all beautiful characters and absolutely love it love it love it, thank you to such brilliant actors which bring a touch of escapism in an otherwise miserable world.
