The Lord Tattershall?
I'm glad to hear that Julian Fellowes is allegedly to be offered a life peerage. He seems a thoroughly good egg to me. Anyone who has adapted the 1981, definitive Brideshead Revisited TV series deserves a peerage or, indeed, a Baronetcy for that matter.

ReplyDeleteWe are enjoying Downton Abbey immensely, recoding it live to miss the adverts!
Is there a way to miss the ads? I skip forward when the ads come on, but would prefer to miss them entirely.
ReplyDeleteAs I understand it, life peerages - in the name of something other than the holder's surname - are allowed only in exceptional circumstances (presumably to those of higher merit). One is reminded of Lords Moyola and Bannside, both being head of legislatures.
