About the author
Julian Fellowes
62 books1,523 followersJulian Alexander Kitchener-Fellowes (Baron Fellowes of West Stafford), DL. English actor, novelist, screenwriter, and director.
Fellowes is the youngest son of Peregrine Fellowes (a diplomat and Arabist who campaigned to have Haile Selassie restored to his throne during World War II). Julian inherited the title of Lord of the Manor of Tattershall from his father, making him the fourth Fellowes to hold it. He was educated at Ampleforth College, Magdalene College, Cambridge, and at the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art.
He played the part of Lord Kilwillie in the television series 'Monarch of the Glen.' Other notable acting roles included the part of Claud Seabrook in the acclaimed 1996 BBC drama serial 'Our Friends in the North.' He has twice notably portrayed George IV as the Prince Regent in the 1982 television version of 'The Scarlet Pimpernel' and the 1996 adaptation of Bernard Cornwell's novel 'Sharpe's Regiment.'
He wrote the screenplay for 'Gosford Park,' directed by Robert Altman, for which he won an Oscar for Best Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen in 2002.
His novel 'Snobs' was published in 2004. It focused on the social nuances of the upper class. Fellowes has described himself as coming from the "rock bottom end of the top", and drew on his knowledge of Society to paint a detailed portrait of the behaviour and snobbery of the upper class. 'Snobs' was a Sunday Times Best Seller and has now been published in many countries.
In the 1970s he also wrote romantic novels, using the names Rebecca Greville and Alexander Morant.
He launched a new series on BBC One in 2004, 'Julian Fellowes Investigates: A Most Mysterious Murder,' which he wrote and also introduced on screen.
He also penned the script to the current West End musical 'Mary Poppins,' produced by Cameron Mackintosh and Disney, which opened on Broadway in December 2006.
In late 2005 Fellowes made his directorial debut with the film 'Separate Lies.'
He is the presenter of 'Never Mind the Full Stops,' a panel-based gameshow transmitted on BBC Four from mid-2006.
On 28 April 1990, he married Emma Joy Kitchener (a Lady-in-Waiting to Princess Michael of Kent, and great-great-niece of the 1st Earl Kitchener) and assumed the name Kitchener-Fellowes by deed enrolled with the College of Arms in 1998.

This was adorable

A little excitement with the attempted murder in a darkened alleyway by the Thames...and then the denouement which we all knew about anyway. Maybe the focus group needed a happy ending, but it was difficult to stifle a yawn

So this is it. The last episode. And the fact that there are episodes actually saved the thing. Otherwise it would be just another story, nothing extraordinary about it. And the fact about the series is that there is nothing thrilling about it. Just a plain story with simple characters which are not capable of evolving (except for O. in whose case the author made an attempt to show a change but not too much, just a tiny bit). M.G. is a great character who can actually surprise but it is still not enough. I know I could have just get the story in one book but if I did, it would be just boring. And thanks to the episodes I had something to wait for.
All in all, a nicely written story, nothing WOW about it. Nice way to spend some time if you don't expect something inspiring and thought-provoking.

Overall it was a great series. Somewhat predictable, but that isn't always a bad thing. The writing was very good, the characters very human and believable. I would highly suggest this to others to read.
