‘His eyes glistened again’? Why do so comments sound text from a third rate Mills and Boon novel?

Personally, I think one of many reasons Downton Abbey is so popular and successful is its romances are the opposite of the usual screen fare. Watch strangers plunge their tongues down each other's throats on the Bachelor/Bachelorette shortly after first introductions, and then watch the slow development of romantic interest on Downtown based on mutual respect, honour, friendship and attraction, and the audience's preference for decency is apparent.

I do not watch such things as the Bachelor, but it is not a little passionate kissing that bothers me today, it is how it quickly escalates into exchanges of fluids that at not just saliva. And, I think that Downton Abbey was much more libertine and liberal than people would have been at the time in which it was set. A family in which one daughter married the chauffeur, another had a child out of wedlock, and then Mary had her own trusts with Kamal and Tony Gillingham. This family would have not had a Royal visit. But ... The series is well written, and the viewers all grow to really like Tom Branson. He is decent and real almost always. And, in his new position in life, few women will be available or do, and the same is true for Lucy Smith with men. Society would know she is what she is and have ostracized her. Tom would never fit in among Society, and as a pair they might have fit well together.

@@danmc7815 Same here. I could care less to watch The Bachelor - just too primitive and anything but intellectually stimulating. But....but in the Downton Abbey time frame, children out of wedlock, prostitution (ne Ethel) and marriages such as Tom Branson & Sybill were highly frowned upon. And the participants in those "disgraceful" actions were deeply penalized and shunned for it. Doesn't mean it didn't happen, but slutting around (like Mary did with Lord Gillingham) was a big no no. Now, does it mean it should be a big yes yes these days? Today's society has become a lot more liberal. I venture to say it depends on how conservative or traditional a person is. What are the priorities or even interests? A lot of today's generation want to test drive the vehicle before buying it. Can one fault them? Again, that depends on how conservative or traditional one is.

It is fitting it takes someone so much like Sybil to warm Tom’s heart again.

Tom deserved happiness, again. Sybil is my favorite character of all time, so it's no surprise that Tom ranks so highly as well.

Tom's and Lucy's romance is sweet and innocent!💕💕👍👍😊😊

I find it ironic that Tom, who doesnt care about wealth and status ends up falling in love with 2 women who lift him up in society. By chance, not by scheming. Plenty of gold diggers have tried and failed to achieve what Tom achieved just by following his heart. I love that his love is always genuine. He loved Sybil as Sybil the women, not the noble lady. He loved Lucy as Lucy the women, not Lucy the servant, or Lucy the heir. He doesnt care if somebody is upper class or not, he loves who he loves and he persues. I like that about him. It's just ironic how that always results in climbing up the ladder. There was even some chemistry between him and the princess, which was funny because he didnt know she was a princess. But even if he had known I doubt he would have treated her very differently. Thats why I love Tom. i dont like how he seems more removed from his roots as the show goes on. He feels a little neuterd even and not socialist enough. But his core remained the same. He treats people as people first, everything else second, if he can help it. And he is unafraid to speak up his mind, stand up for himself and those he cares for and holds his own. It's probably why he became one of Mary's favorites. He was one of the few that held his own against her. Who loved her as she was, warts and all, and stood up against her, but never turned on her. His love is unconditional. I love that the crawleys learned about this, and what Sybil saw in him. They gained a brother and son in a sense. And for all they will and do clash over, he doesnt abandon them, and they in turn do not abandon him. Tom Branson. He honestly desserved better story lines in the series to show off his spirit and capabilities more. But I do love how his relationship with the family evolved.

I love this film, and this couple. They are too cute for words. 💕

I imagine Lady Bagshaw and Lucy did follow the story of Tom and Sybil. Sybil did what Lady Bagshaw was unable to do - married "beneath" her and accepted all that came with that. Maud wanted to do that with Jack but it was a generation earlier and maybe she was not the rebel Sybil was. Either way, I suspect she would see something of her and Jack in Tom and Sybil and thus take it personally.

At first I wasn't sure about Branson 's intentions as he made a move when she was to inherit but thinking about it he stumbled on his luck as well and initially had no initial intention of benefitting from Sybils connections... so maybe they are well suited

I love all seasons of Downton abby and Both movies of Downton abby movies❤

I always thought that she was a very lovely, sweet and demure character in the story, and was happy that Tom found someone like that

It wouldn't surprise me at all if Tom gets knighted at some point in his later years and is then allowed to call himself "Sir Thomas" - after all, at the end of the first film he has gained the respect of the king (by saving the princess's marriage and that prevented assassination attempt) and with Lucy he marries into the gentry again. They have a long memory at court, he would definitely be on some list for ennoblement.

@junewilson1629

Eh, I am not so sure that she wasn't "tied to those stupid old rules" nor am I sure whether some of the old rules were actually stupid. They served a purpose to some extent. Isobel was just very observant and hyper sensitive (for those times anyway). She was quick to put 1 and 1 together and come up with 2. She picked up on the behavior and was also very much for the underdog wanting to work her/his way up through the mist. She kept her surrounding grounded. That's why she and the dowager were such a perfect girlfriend couple. They were such opposite extreme that they benefitted from one another. And Isobel forced the dowager to become a little less stiff and snobbish - simply by being extremely down to earth.

In that last scene, for some reason, Dame Maggie Smith looks a bit cross eyed. I remember thinking that when I saw it in the theaters too. But only there, and not in the rest of the movie. At the time, it made me wonder if there was something wrong with her health?

I found that unbelievable in the setting and for the time it was set in. Quietly, out of sight.. maybe if Lucy agreed. Even in 1989 my beloved asked my permission to kiss me - well the first time, lol. It was old fashioned then but I really appreciated it. Far better than some oaf mauling one. lol. If more acted that way there would be no need for the ME to movement.. sadly there is.

But don't you think it takes two to tango? Sybil was rather attracted to Tom and if she hadn't been the rebel and liberal that she essentially was, she would never have given Tom a chance and they would never have been a couple. She had plenty of chances to step away from him. But the "empty" and "boring" lifestyle she was used to (until the war) didn't suit her. She was one for more hustle and bustle. As was Edith - that's why she did the magazine. And then there was Mary in later days. So they all started going with the times. And don't forget Tom took her to Ireland where Sybill didn't have a "position" and where she was a nobody. Had all that gold digging been so super important to him, he would have stayed with Sybill at Downton and started digging early on. And we all have our favorite characters and highly dislikeful characters. For you Tom is just not your cup of tea. Just like other actors or characters are not that for other viewers. It happens.
