Twitter Party for Downton Abbey

Any plans for the next 4 Sunday evenings? Here's an invitation for Canadians and Americans to travel back to Edwardian times and visit the magnificent estate of Downton Abbey! (Yes, it's the series that I've blogged about endlessly but now that it's making its debut on this side of the pond, I'm thrilled to revisit the Crawley family and their endearing staff below stairs.)

Celebrate the launch of PBS Masterpiece's 40th season during a live Twitter event beginning Sunday, January 9, 2011, during the American broadcast premiere of Downton Abbey (available for Canadians who watch PBS!).

You're welcomed whenever you're watching, but from 9-10:30pm Eastern time, PBS and Masterpiece insiders — as well as moderators from Austenprose, Edwardian Promenade, and yours truly — will be tweeting too.

Tag your posts with the hashtag #DowntonPBS and then visit us on TweetGrid, or use your own favorite aggregator.
