I’m tempted to post on IMDB that Idiot O’Gullible is going to become Edith’s suitor - then sit back and watch Tumblr explode. Honestly, it’s that’s crass and stupid.

It’s worth remembering that Downton is a British television programme and you need to look at British sources. Radio Times is impeccable as a source. The ITV website is official, as is STV (there is no ITV in Scotland). Check also Dan Wootton, Baz Bamigboye, Alison Graham, Andrew Duncan, Ian Wylie. Ian Hyland etc.

*Just a note - if anyone feels inclined to still consult IMDB I have some swampland - sorry, fine development opportunities you may be interested in...... At a premium, sorry BARGAIN..... price....

Sorry if this sounds like a rant but I'm just amazed that IMDB is being quoted - and referred to as a verification of my information. That’s actually quite insulting and I won't post any more if that's the case.
LOL! EnglishLady, Can you tell us how you really feel about IMDB?

Sorry if this feels like a rant but honestly, if you said "There's a fairy at the bottom of my garden who told me "Sybil and Branson blah blah blah", I would give it more credence than IMDB. It's what we call a load of old b**locks!

There's a saying that life's too short for cheap wine. My version here is that life's too short for IMDB discussion. This isn't an opinion, Name me one bona fide journalist that considers IMDB anything other than a joke...

EnglishLady, I didn't look at IMDB even for a second. Does that make you feel better ? I'm only glad that JBF is credited there for 8 episodes because otherwise there would be an unfounded "panic mode" on Tumblr again (and I still don't go there except for graphics ).

I suppose that journalists are as allergic to IMDB as we translators to google translator (though this thing actually gets better and better ).

The rant is fine by me. I mainly use it for historical purposes. Otherwise, I can't be bothered to look at it.

Do you think that we'll see S/T

No. The fact it's quoted at all is pointless.

Why be glad? it's utter nonsense. Don't give it credence by being "glad". So idiots on Tumjblr believe idiocy? So what? Isn't this thread better than that?

I don't know about Google translator, though I expect it's utter tosh. I just feel it's not worth posting genuine information if it's then compared with IMDB rubbish. I'm not prepared to waste my time in that way.

EnglishLady: I never look at IMBD at all. It is not worth the effort. On top of having a forum where most people blatantly bash on characters and the show, anyone can edited (as you said) thus not a reliable source. Besides as you mentioned in your post, people should look for a British source rather than any other. Some people just jump the gun when they see the cast list and it's episode listing. Just a waste of time, really.

But you know I'm already tired of this "idiocy" and I don't want to hear about it again. Of course this thread is much better than this .

Don't be angry, no one doubted your info (surely not me) . We're all very grateful for what you post here .

EnglishLady - Sorry if I simply haven't noticed something, but have you posted the cast list for 3x02 somewhere? I suppose that it is out already, but I don't go to the S&S thread, so I don't know any reliable info on that score?

Here's the post in the S&S thread where EnglishLady posted the 3x02 guest cast and a small blurb: http://www.fanforum.com/65319574-post215.html

Series 3 Ep 2 CAST LIST (it's worth noting that in s2 all major cast members were billed whether they appeared or not, aka bates in ep2. However, the guest cast list should be treated as settled. this is not make-believe as in IMDb but genuine info from reputable sources).

Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham - Maggie Smith
Robert, Earl of Grantham - Hugh Bonneville
Lady Sybil Branson - Jessica Brown Findlay
Lady Edith - Crawley - Laura Carmichael
Mr Carson - Jim Carter
John Bates - Brendan Coyle
Lady Mary Crawley - Michelle Dockery
Molesley - Kevin Doyle
O'Brien - Siobhan Finneran
Anna - Joanne Froggatt
Thomas - Rob James-Collier
Tom Branson - Allen Leech
Mrs Hughes - Phyllis Logan
Cora, Countess of Grantham - Elizabeth McGovern
Daisy - Sophie McShera
Alfred - Matt Milne
Mrs Patmore - Lesley Nicol
Ethel - Amy Nuttall
Matthew Crawley - Dan Stevens
Isobel Crawley - Penelope Wilton
Martha Levinson - Shirley MacLaine
Sir Anthony Strallan - Robert Bathurst
Durrant - Neil Bell
Lady Manville - Sarah Crowden
Craig - Jason Furnival

Ep 2 - 2 synopses....

2/8. With the estate's future hanging in the balance, Mary hopes to receive a bailout from grandmother Martha and, with Violet's help, tries to make sure Downton puts on a bigger show than ever before with a grand party for friends and neighbours. Meanwhile, Mrs Hughes hears worrying news, and O'Brien's efforts to boost Alfred's progress meet with disapproval from Thomas.

OR

Matthew and Mary return from their honeymoon with a new car, but all is not well at Downton.

Lord Grantham's money worries look as though they're deepening, but Mary and the Dowager decide to hatch a plan to save the house. Their cunning plan is to throw a huge house party which will show off Downton's worth to Martha, and thus convince her to give them the money to rescue it. But the whole evening is thrown into doubt after a catalogue of problems. Despite them, can they manage to pull off the perfect party?

Meanwhile, Mrs Hughes discovers a suspicious lump and goes to visit the doctor; and Lady Edith continues to pursue Sir Anthony…

**NB - everything is from a bona fide source . A more detailed preview should be available on Monday.
