4. Mrs. Patmore Gets A Makeover
During Sunday night's Downton Abbey series finale there was an advert where actress Lesley Nicol, who plays Downton's cook Mrs. Patmore, talked about how the series was now out on DVD. The nation collectively gasped and Twitter was abuzz- dowdy old Mrs. Patmore from the kitchen, who we usually saw stressing out and grumbling in her cook's uniform, was actually looking very glamorous indeed! We think the Downton Abbey producers should make use of Lesley Nicol and have an episode devoted to giving Mrs. Patmore a makeover, preferably done in the style of 1980s teen movies where there's a montage of her trying on different outfits and experimenting with different hairstyles set to the soundtrack of Cyndi Lauper's Girls Just Want To Have Fun. We're sure fans of the show could overlook this one continuity error if it meant we got to see Mrs. Patmore letting her hair down a bit, instead of losing sleep over the sewing machine.
