Keeley Hawes apparently told Stylist that she has never seen a full episode of Downton Abbey, despite being a star of the often compared Upstairs, Downstairs.  Keeley goes on to say:

 "But I understand it's very good. I think because we each had two grande dames of British acting - we had Eileen [Atkins] and they have Maggie [Smith], it didn't help with how much we were compared."

"From the tiny amount of  Downton  I saw it was gorgeous, but as far as I can make out it has a very different feeling to Upstairs."

The second series of Upstairs Downstairs begins on BBC One on Feb 19th at 9:00 pm

Submitted by cubbie866 on Sat, 12/10/2011 - 01:15

Both Keeley Hawes and Matthew Macfadyen spoke to students from the Hampton School and the Lady Eleanor Holles School as part of the Talk! program.

In a fascinating Question and Answer session the former stars of Spooks talked openly about their different roles and how their careers have developed. They answered questions on working with different directors and about the unpredictability of acting and never being certain if the call for the next role will come.

You can learn more about the event as well as browse photos of Matthew and Keeley at the Hampton School website.

Keeley is currently involved in the second series of Upstairs, Downstairs
