Mansel Abbey: Hummana Hummana

Downton Abbey is the best historical drama you need to be watching. There are maids, butlers, finery and aristocrats. And they're British. Did I mention it's historical? And Maggie Smith is in it??

This series has been rocking Damsel HQ for the past month with its scandals and one liners. We've breezed through the two available seasons and are now feeling bereft because the third season won't be coming out until September 2012 in Britain and as late as 2013 here in the States! We have been clutching our pearls for weeks since learning this horrid news!

There's just so much to love—scandals, ladies in gorgeous dresses and cocktail hours where words like "minx" and "scoundrel" are delightfully thrown about. Oh, and there are also quite handsome gentlemen, with accents and cravats to boot.

The tragically sweet second footman foiled by...


...the frustratingly evil, yet undeniably handsome first footman.

Oh my, how did that get in there?

Still need convincing? Maybe this charming interview with the cast members will convince you.


History is always hummana hummana-worthy.
