Over a long relationship, the Dowager Countess and Isobel Crawley have had their fair share of arguments. The ongoing tension between the two strong-willed women has spanned conversations about wounded soldiers, hospital runnings, charity work, and much more. However, despite their disagreements, we can’t help but laugh at their memorable stream of caustic insults, dubious advice and witty comments.

This is the official YouTube channel for Downton Abbey. Immerse yourself in the much-loved British historical drama, relive some of your favourite moments and tragedies, and keep up-to-date with the latest news.

    One of my favourite moments has to be when Mrs. Crawley likens the Dowager to the sister of Marie Antoinette and how she takes everything as a compliment.
  • @kiefywhy4342
    The relationship evolved over the series from dislike to friendship as the women aged together and both found themselves alone within the wide family
  • @JJSparxx
    My favorite interaction between Violet and Isobel is when Isobel tells Violet that she hates to be wrong and Violet responds by saying she's not familiar with the sensation.
  • “How you hate to be wrong.” “I wouldn’t know. I’m not familiar with the sensation.” 💀

    "They're defensible to me." Spoken like a True friend and confident.
  • 'seems a shame to give up such a good pudding'...that sums it up! Way to go, Dowager
  • @talco881
    I love the back-and-forth between the two Crones, and how they are each other's confidants and supporters.
  • @nurseshelly
    The acting in this TV drama was superb... what casting! ❤😊
  • “I don’t criticize either you or her. But I hope you find a way to make friends with the world again.” Whether serving up snark or offering comforting words, Violet always knew just what to say.
  • @techexpress01
    "Seems a pity to miss such a good pudding." Died!!! 🤣

    One of my favorite gags in this series is related to that last line. Some time later, Isobel gives Violet a nut cracker for Christmas! Its only really funny if you remember this last line.
  • @odysseusrex5908
    I've really got to sit down and watch this entire series. I very much like the way the friendship between these two developed over time.
  • @JeromeGentes
    This compilation generally, except for the first few samples, contains the least combative of their interactions. It was great to watch as these two women grew, interaction by interaction, so close and so fond of each other.
  • Soo... In the beginning, Lady Grantham barely considered it a hospital... And then at the last season she is strongly defending it's autonomy
  • @pdruiz2005
    At 5:02. "You've been reading those communist newspapers again." Those words of the Dowager Countess echo in my head as I see Ms. Crawley impudently take charge of a house and property that isn't her own. LOL.
  • NGL, I wanted MORE. 😅 Please make a part 2 because their dynamic was a pivotal part of the show. There's always something I missed each time I watch Downton Abbey so it never gets old to me. Plus, this channel makes me feel...connected.
  • @1201newyork
    I love all the storylines, especially any line involving Maggie smith… ❤
