bonneville: it's quite something to see how much of an impact this show has had on people, a real propermotional investment. and it is so rewarding to find that people in the street that you meet they sort of go into a slightly other world. ha ha ha! they often sort of-- you can see them replaying scenes in their head when they're chatting to you and say, "oh, that bit when mary and matthew..." or "that bit when sybil and branson", whatever it might be. and it's delightful. it's utterly captivating for us that the people have responded to it in such a strong way, and that just seems to have grown, really, between season 1 and season 2. we were in new york at a pbs event last winter to feel for the first time the wave of affection for the show. it was quite overwhelming, but a nice problem to have.
