Dame Maggie Smith is legend, wherever she appears she turns it into masterpiece
No surprise though, how could Professor McGonagall be anything less than a perfectionist

[pdreiling]

I could listen to Maggie Smith read the declartion of independence backward and still be entertained the entire time!

The BEST Mother-Son duo ever written. #FortheLoveofDownton

"Robert, I sometimes wonder if you shouldn't get out more." Lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[hearttune]

OH I love this, this self-lacerating humour is so British and better than any sort of promo they could’ve done for the film.

No Script for Maggie! She is a Legend !

[TriniDeBone]

I love the fact that Bates sat in the audience watching all this discussion. Also, the synopsis of Downtown Abbey's scandals throughout the four decades.

I can’t believe she’s dead. Rest in Peace dear Dame Smith❤️

Oh how I grew up watching this lady, she made me love my English lessons in school bse of the way she commands respect when speaking it! Respect just!

Two great actors, but Maggie Smith is unbelievable, amazing, wonderful, she's divine👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

When I first saw this when they aired the last episode, I thought it was absolute genius. And I loved the calm explanation over why Bates gained such undying loyalty from Robert: they have no idea what it was, since it hasn't come up in the script yet! XD

[carolcoates]

How I love the Dowager Countess of Grantham, an absolute diamond and one of Britain's greatest actresses!

[Tam]

I can not tell you how much I love Downton Abbey.

[therenaissancewoman]

Two great actors. Downton Abbey brings a sort of comfort that allows the audience to melt into days gone by. We watch not only because it's entertaining but I think mostly to allow our souls to transcend back to a time we desire still existed and possibly lived before.

Two of the most brilliant underrated actors. Maggie Smith is a legend as always. Hugh Bonneville is just SO charming and mystifying. They are both simply my favourite!! ❤

[melissaphillips]

I love this show. Dame Maggie Smith you are what every actress aspires to become...Perfection!!!♥️

[thomasfy]

Maggie no script needed such a perfectionist

[grease]

ABSOLUTELY hilarious! These two are just ON with this skit!! (and the "things" that happened to the cow!!) LOL!!

[joanmassey]

...And right at the end, there was “Mr. Bates” sitting in the audience, smiling and clapping! 😊
Bravo, Downton Abbey Players! 🌷

"Barrow deserves a documentary of his own"-Hello, can we please get that?
