Okay, so maybe it’s stupid to premiere a video about a British TV drama the day after America’s biggest TV watching day, but I’m proud of this, so here it is again.

Here are a few highlights from the enhanced version of Downton Abbey I did for PBS. Basically, an image of me pops into frame to interrupt the episode and explain cultural and historical information to Americans.

Also, I’m lying about that, but that’s the framing device for my Downton Abbey jokes in this video.

(Also, be careful, because if you’re not up to date with PBS’ airing of the show, because there are spoilers. It won’t spoil future stuff though.)
