For dramas, I love 'Downton Abbey.' I'm a sucker for the BBC.
The 'Pride and Prejudice' with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle was something I watched on a weekly basis with my mum at home in Oxfordshire.
I've never seen an episode of 'Downton Abbey.'
I grew up watching Keira Knightley films nonstop, and I always admired period dramas and just everything that goes into it.
I think the first time I realised 'Downton Abbey' was a hit was when I was sitting in a tea shop in New York and the couple next to me were talking about 'Downton Abbey,' and then they recognised me.
I could not write on 'Downton Abbey'.
I see it as a privilege to be part of 'Poldark.'
I can't say I follow it, but I've watched 'Downton Abbey' a couple of times and loved it.
After spending the last few years working on a serious novel set in Chechnya, I was drawn to both the brevity and casualness of Twitter, and wrote a series of tweets titled 'The Erotic Inner Life of Mr. Bates from Downton Abbey.'
