That’s Archbishop To You, Batman!

Summary: Kelly and Tom recap the dumbest thing ever, AKA Downton Abbey S3:E4.  On the plus side, this episode features Thomas’s erotic pen pal, toffee noses, the comedy stylings of the Dowager Countess, a newfangled electric toaster, Ethel’s plotline finally paying some dividends and the really, really, ridiculously good-looking Jimmy Kent. Unfortunately, it also includes far too much Murder Prison, Branson being a completely out-of-character moron, the comedy stylings of the Dowager Countess (yes, again), everything interesting happening offscreen, wretched editing, and a bizarre scene that might be about alien babies.  Kelly tries to figure out the origins of Isobel’s Whore Institute, Tom tells tales of badass ladies who were also Irish rebels, and they both plea for more Linney!<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>
