Downton Abbey

Downton has retuned to our screens.  It seems that the stately home has been turned into a sort of quasi hospital.  It seems odd that the household staff are co-existing with a military chain of command.  Not odd is that the revolutionary chauffeur seems to be planning to assassinate a senior general, or that Lady Edith seems to be seeking romance in all the wrong places.

Rather tedious is having to watch commercials promoting digestive system health.  The last one shown a few moments ago depicted green dots moving through the body with a large arrow then flying out of the diagrammatic person's posterior.  Seriously?  Do we really have to watch that?

There are also nonsensical commercials for a particular beer, which apparently supports 'mateship'.  Also health insurance that helps a person meet a 'healthier version' of themselves.  All very strange.
