Sounds about right. BTW, I started fooling around with the "Upstairs Downstairs" series which I had never watched before. They come in two groups, with a few spin offs here and there. The first is the 70's series ('71-'75) which takes place in the early 1900's, while the second (2010-12) revisits the site in the years just before World War II. Of the two, the original series probably gets more critical respect, but it's a bit more work to stick with the thick accents, not to mention the "deliberate" pace. Also, it's more like a play than TV series. I've only seen the first couple of episodes of it but may go back to it at some point. Let's just say, it's definitely an acquired taste. The second series is a bit of a melodrama, but easier to take and a bit more like "Downton" in that it's a modern production. The second of two seasons is supposed to be much better than the first, although I haven't seen that yet. The first ... well, it's okay. If you end up going into withdrawal pains over DA, it might help :)
