[QUOTE="Carrie Fairchild, post: 119860, member: 673"] Can you imagine being the NBC execs that signed Julian Fellowes up in 2012, at the height of Downton Abbey's popularity, thinking [I]"Yeah! Lets hop on this Downton bandwagon and ride it 'til the wheels fall off"[/I]. Then seven years later, after everyone else has had a go at cloning Downton (Grand Hotel, Mr Selfridge, The Halcyon, The Paradise), NBC are still waiting. I'm looking forward to it though. Having a bit of distance between it and Downton may actually work in it's favour although there'll inevitably be comparisons. I'm kind of surprised they stuck by the project for so long. Has any other series recently had such a ling gestation period? [/QUOTE]
