NBR: Downton Abbey question (ns)

My Mum asked Downton Abbey seasons for Christmas but I know nothing about it. How many seasons are there and is it still on? What season is it currently in?

  • So, the current season is season 4, although that hasn't aired in the US yet. (It'll start after Christmas.)

  • Correct me if I'm wrong but if you are buying it for someone isn't the UK version better than the USA version? I've heard from others that the UK version is unedited whereas they changed things for the USA version....

    Like I said maybe I'm wrong but just something to think about before you spend the money :)

  • Yes...just to verify this I just found this quote on amazon from someone's review of Downton Abby:

    I watched the first episode on PBS and immediately bought the unedited UK version and I am so glad I did. It is tragic that American viewers were not allowed to see the unedited UK version on PBS. So many fine moments were cut from the American PBS version and edited in a fashion that almost didn't make sense.

    American viewers do yourselves a favor and order the unedited UK version of Downton Abbey!

  • Now I feel like I need to go back and watch all 3 seasons again in the UK version.

    I thought the country code was different so UK dvds do not play on US players?

    But which version streams on Amazon?  UK or US?

    And why are they different in the first place?  Somehow I doubt the UK version drops the f-bomb frequently...

  • Amazon can stream both...the UK one is specifically labeled "Original UK Version"
  • Wow! Thanks for the info, everyone. I would've had no idea.
