Up Yours, Downstairs! A Downton Abbey Podcast show

Summary: Kelly &amp; Tom welcome the Dowager Cousin Jackie back to <em>UYDS</em> for their coverage of <em>Blackadder Goes Forth</em>. The trio is surprised by its tonal similarity to <em>Parade’s End</em> and spends a long time extolling the virtues of <em>Orphan Black</em> for no other reason than the fact that everyone should watch <em>Orphan Black</em>. Otherwise, they realize that Captain Flashheart is essentially Duffman from <em>The Simpsons</em> (RIP Rik Mayall), discuss the many sins of Chris Columbus, solicit accounts of raising pigeons from chicks, uncover Tony Robinson’s <em>Da Vinci Code </em>connection, revel in the madness of General Melchett, fist-pump for Miranda Richardson, admit there’s something about Bob, and wonder why there are only three people in the British army. All this, plus Kelly thinks Blackadder is a Capricorn, Tom makes a lot of Shakespearean interruptions, and Jackie refuses to acknowledge fruitcake as cake.<br><hr><p style="color:grey;font-size:0.75em;"> See <a style="color:grey;" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://acast.com/privacy">acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
