Mama_Rana Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I just finished reading The World of Downton Abbey by Jessica Fellowes. Very interesting. I was confused by this line: "...when editing for the US transmissions had ended..." Was the show edited differently for the American audience vs the UK audience? If so, how? I mean, what was different? I'm so curious. BTW, for anyone interested to know, the book talks some about the 2nd season, but there are NO spoilers for it, really. I was sorta surprised, but I guess it makes sense for the timing of the release of the book vs. the 2nd season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I believe scenes were cut in each episode in order to squeeze in the Laura Linney introductions. Apparently, this explains some of the surprises and "huh?" moments that we saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One week 55 mins, other weeks over 100! Weird, and a bit frustrating if I didn't realize it was a longer episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember specifics off the top of my head, but there were a couple of times where the story jumped a couple of months without any notice, and it took a bit to figure that out.

Yes, that's true. And sometimes there was a time marker and other times not. :/ I'd forgotten about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
