It’s funny watching Downton Abbey in Colombia.
For a start, I don’t know how to translate words like
footman, kitchen maid, valet, or Dowager Duchess
for the local audience.
And the Colombian tendency to be prepared for the worst
(I’ve blogged about this before)
means that watching the series can be a tense experience.
Example: John Bates and Tom Barrow meet unexpectedly in the dark.
He’s going to kill him, gasps my fellow-viewer.
In reality, they have a philosophical little chat and no one is harmed.
