Thomas is an odd one. He is like a wolf guarding sheep. If there are other wolves out there he will take them down, because no one eats his sheep. But if there are no other predatory animals out, he will eat the sheep if he gets bored or just feels nasty.
That's... not really fair I think, at least not in this case. He was never possesive or had ulterior motives with Andy. He just wanted friendship.
Interesting analogy, though I don't think Thomas is quite that bad. What's so interesting about him is that we see both his nice, protective side and his dangerous wolf side and can understand what triggers each side. (Mr. Bates also has those two sides, so it's interesting that he and Thomas were so often adversaries. When their wolf sides clashed?) When it comes to Andy, though, Thomas' motive was simple friendship and I was glad when they did become friends.
@@rowanaforrest9792 Thomas was definitely that bad. He was the one who sent a letter to the detectives that ended up getting Anna thrown in jail. He also helped Braithwaite make Anna look bad by lying about how Lady Grantham's dress was damaged. There was absolutely no reason for him to do that, she never did anything to him, if anything she supported him and was kind to him..
@@artflorez1568 Had Anna or Bates ever found out about those two dirty turns Thomas did to Anna, I doubt there could ever have been peace between them. Bates could forgive the wrongs Thomas committed against him, but I wouldn't bet on him forgiving wrongs toward his wife.
No he's not ! You have to do what he had to do in those days as a gay man
I do love when my dear Barrow's "powers" are used for good 💗
I love him all the time
Uncle Thomas
Hilariously these are the only times it works. When he plans evil schemes they fail
@@marionarda2790 this man was never meant to be evil 😏
Could someone explain to me how she used Andy? She brought him but he might as well have won playing (like Thomas did then).
"Uncle" Thomas is so smart and talented 😁
Thomas bringing down other scheming jerks with his own skills is so satisfying!
I love it when Thomas uses his inteligence ans cunning for good and takes someone who deserves it down. Andy really brought out a softer side that Thomas couldnt shpw after Jimmy left.
Denker...what an awful character !
That scene is just perfect. Beside Denker being taught a lesson, Thomas got to do a good action without ulterior motives, just because it was the right thing to do.
And if I may add, he is damn sexy in that scene, being all confident and all 😍
Am I the only one thinking Denker to be one of the best characters? She's hillarious in every scene :)
arnt you a girl, thomas is gay luv
@@TheNivKo Denker is priceless. I like how the writers are able to add peculiar new characters and create so well carved subplots with them
@@TheNivKo you're not! 😂 Every plot & scene she's in is sooo funny, including all her battles with Spratt. Sue Johnston made Denker a loveable rogue!
@@AC_RDR2_Q Who cares if Thomas is gay, the real life actor is not AND you can still be attracted to gay people.
a true "let me speak to the manager" moment
What I love about Downton Abbey is that it allows its characters to have so many layers, as opposed to many films whose characters are allowed to only have a binary construct. Such layering of characters is one of the many reasons why Downton has run successfully for a frigging 6 season marathon, with films still coming back to back. Downton is a series about people, and writing characters as black and white wouldn't help much.
Pratyay Rakshit,
So true. The guy who wrote the series is a genius. The casting director another one.
I love like Andy looks more terrified of Barrow than Carson, and the way Thomas change voice when he asked what is happening. But this is before they warned him against Barrow?
Before .
He wasn't terrified of Barrow, he was just able to reveal how he was really feeling because Thomas knew about the situation
Yeah, yet, it was Barrow that thought the lad to read. Just shows ya, never judge a book by it's cover lol !!
Yeah, I think so
@purplemonkeyelephant
Later he was wary of Thomas and didn't want to be friends because he'd been warned about him
Robert James collier is a very talented actor. I wish he worked more.
Why hasn’t he? I can’t remember seeing him in anything else
@@cantbelieveitsnotredacted1117 Maybe he's mainly the Theater's guy?
@@cantbelieveitsnotredacted1117 In interview's he has said he waits for projects he feels are right for him. His first big role was in Coronation Street. After his character got killed off, he waited nearly 18 months before he worked again because the offers he kept receiving he felt were too similar to his Coronation Street role. I think Downton Abbey was the next big title he's been in. Once that finished, he also kept finding he got offers for roles too similar to what he did with Thomas Barrow. He's trying to avoid being typecast really.
@@hyrulphicsound he is also in that awful Winx live action
If I didn't know he was just acting I would have believed he was the character he played.
I did the math, and 5 pounds in 1924 (the year this episode takes place) would be equal to over 287 pounds or 343 American dollars today. So yeah, that's a lot of money.
£4 and 10 shillings not £5
@@NotMykl I reckon it's just easier for the reference to set it at a full 5 quid. For accuracy, 10 shillings is half a pound so knock off 1/10th and you're there.
How much did people like them earn in those days
@@valeria-militiamessalina5672 Not quite the same era but my mum said her first job in the early 1980’s (may also have been late 70’s) paid £6,000 per year.
Dang, she wasn't drinking the cheap stuff those 3 nights, was she?
She deserved to pay every penny. 😂
2:53 "I want to speak to the manager" 😂😂😂
Thomas is the most interesting character in this whole series.
Yes😍
or the creepiest "Uncle Barrow" my backside
Rob James-Collier is an underrated handsome actor
When Thomas uses his power for good, the effect is tremendous!
Thomas always fights fire with fire, i like it
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thomas was very protective with Andy.
Maybe he saw him as a little bother he never had.😊
Thomas is such a changing character. Sometimes I like him, sometimes I don’t. And the moment I don’t like him, he does something good
I like that the more guys Thomas meets the more careful he is acting. Like: season 1 - Thomas touches Pamuk's cheek
Season 5-6: he isn't even trying to flirt, just acting friendly.
And also, I love my cinnamon roll Thomas :3
@Ann yeaaaah, like Thomas was growing not only in a way "evil -> good". And he had learnt how to be vulnarable right before met Mr.Ellis, so cute :3
The Jimmy ordeal was a real blow for him
Thomas got fresh with the Turkish Mr. Pamuk in the first season because he was under the impression that most Middle Eastern men were bisexual. That they'd bed handsome English lads along with the ladies. Mr. Pamuk literally says this in disgust when he slaps Thomas's hand away, clearly not fond of this sexual stereotype the English had of Middle Eastern men back in the early 20th century.
@@Luboman411 are you Turkish or Middle Eastern ?
@@Luboman411Yes, and because of his assumptions/actions, The Turk managed to get into Mary's bedroom and die there and when word git out(Thankx to nasty, jealous, Edith) her reputation was ruined and she almost had to marry awful Richard!
Thomas always had a softer side . It was great when he let it show.
I always saw potential in Thomas to be a truly great man if he could,or would,put his hateful ugliness behind him.I think Little George and Sybbie did what nobody else could.He truly loved those kids,and Ms Baxter was always there for him even though he was so horrible to her,she showed him kindness,and all together,they brought out the best in him and made him realize he could love(and was worthy of love himself)
"hateful ugliness"
Barrow had a reason.
Trying not to end up like Oscar Wilde takes quite an effort.
@@willemvandeursen3105 he hated himself for being homosexual in a time that would put him in prison for it.That hate came out in the form of cruelty towards everyone else.Baxter and the kids always excepted him,and Baxter knew he could be a kinder person
@@stephanietip
Yes, he hates. Adults. Children don't condemn him for what he is (they don't even realize it).
@@willemvandeursen3105 nor did Ms Baxter.From the people down stairs the only people who hold it against him was Jimmy,Carson and Ms Patmore.Everyone else was like"ok, whatever"
@@stephanietip I don't think Mrs. Patmore begrudged Thomas that, but she minded very much when he was nasty or made trouble, and of course she minded when for a while he pretended to be attracted to Daisy just to frustrate Alfred, who he resented and disliked because Alfred's aunt, Miss O'Brien, had tried to fast-track Alfred into becoming a valet without first paying his dues as a footman (after Barrow had worked his tail off to get that promotion). Mrs. Patmore disliked Jimmy just as much when he flirted or pretended to like Ivy just to frustrate Alfred. Miss Baxter, on the other hand, had known Thomas since they were children, so the only time she got vexed at Thomas was when he was nasty to someone who didn't deserve it (and her first months at Downton when he was trying to blackmail her into being his spy and informant).
Can you imagine what would have happened if Andy had said she'd made a play for him? Denker never would've been seen again!
Thomas is smart. He knew what was happening the moment Andy told him.
This moment and when she gets Sinderby and his butler in trouble show how brilliant Thomas can be at dealing with people's fate. He and lady Mary really are the same.
*he
And why he is the perfect butler for Lady Mary as she, with Tom, increasingly take over running the estate.
Your right about that! You'd think they were really twin brother and sister.
And Lady Mary completely gets him too. They both have a ruthless streak.
Denker really cracked me up by singing it’s a long way to Tipperary lol
haha that casual 'bye!'
Thomas is so protective of the new boy, and Denker has been nasty enough to the staff of the Abbey and just as O’Brien and Ms West underestimated Thomas, he taught Denker a lesson.
This guy's handsome as hell....
Yes...but this handsome guy...can only be your friend. If you are a Girl ..meep meep meep..but anyways why the heck did he only had such a short love story in the movie?
@@silviahannak3213 the period...still not ready to have him find a full blown romance wud be my guess. But they know the audience is very invested in Thomas so they atleast gave us some happiness and hope in the movie.
Now the 2nd movie might be interesting. If they jump up a few more years,we might see more of Thomas and his flings
Sue Johnston was spot on as the nasty Denker. She was malevolent but also exceedingly hilarious.
@albertgray1814 its probably Sue's scouse humour mixed up in the character.
@@peterwilliamskelhorn6675 not to mention her spot on acting capabilities. She's fantastic.
@@albertgray1814 i know she is. She's a fellow scouser
@@peterwilliamskelhorn6675 I'd love to visit Liverpool. I've heard lots about it. I like Manchester too, and wouldn't mind visiting there either, but Liverpool fascinates me.
@@albertgray1814 good choice with Liverpool. I've been to Manchester a few times because of a school RE lesson to a mosque and going on holiday from Manchester airport with my dad's side of the family
Thomas did a magnificent thing here.
I'm scared of Uncle Thomas, but I'd be glad to have one on my side.
Barrow is a friend-to-have
I wish I could get away with 3 nights worth of drinking for less than 5 pounds. 😂
Eh, not sure! If you adjust for inflation, 5£ in the 1920s are about 225£ today. Not cheap lol
@@orion7060 Ouch.... £225!
Either Miss Denker could really hold her alcohol, or she indulged in the most expensive booze there. Maybe it was both.
Either Miss Denker could really hold her alcohol, or she indulged in the most expensive booze there. Maybe it was both.
1920’s: you could get pissed for three days with five quid
2020s: You’d pay five quid for a single pint
I never watched this show when it was running, but my daughter told me about Mr barrow; she said he's the best character in the whole show. I love these clips of him.
Don't mess with Barrow....he is a shrewd and crafty one. 🤘
I love Thomas. He's the reason i watched this show
Same
@@okl2211 really? HE was the reason?
I'd weigh Violet's one-liners more than Thomas's (often deleterious) conduct. Was there something in particular, especially before Season 5, that I'm forgetting or missed?
@@theoutlook55 I loved his entire character, the good and bad. He was very interesting to watch develop.
I liked Chute in this scene. The "O rly?" look on his face as Barrow spun his tale was priceless.
That bill is about 230.00, give or take, today.
jeffthornton holy crap!
Ouch! There goes Miss Denker's savings (but she deserved it).
Wow!!
Wow 😶😯
Thomas Barrow has a very good social intelligence!
Yaaaassss Uncle Thomas come thruuuuuuuuuu 😍👍
uncle Barrow....
he can wheel barrow the day lights out of meeeeee!
barrow is my hero.
same tbh
Thank you so much for uploading this. ❤
Barrows is quite a kind person inspit of his manner.
In his own way Barrow can be a life saver, remember the Butler ?
I was watching this scene just yesterday. Thomas did her good🤣🤣
Thomas is my favorite. Smart chap with a big heart. Hurt over and over again just for being gay, ambitious, and smart. Shameful world of hypocrites!
Let's not go too overboard. He was hurt, sure, but he was a jerk and needlessly vindictive guy. He got better after season 4, but he got Bates and Anna in legal trouble in S2 and S5, and even when he did good things (like saving Edith or trying to find the dog) he was doing only the expected or to help himself.
At 0:54. I lived in London for a year between 2009 and 2010. I remember going to the very fun clubs on Shaftesbury Avenue, the ones that so shocked and traumatized our poor Andy here. Today they're not so much about illegal gambling but more about, ahem, things with the go-go boys and such. LOL. They were filthy and naughty back in Downtown Abbey days too? Wow, it's been over 100 years already. Nothing ever really changes, huh...
Is "being shafted" a term which comes from Shaftebury road do you think ?
@@jenrutherford6690 Whoa, it may be! I'd do some etymological research on that figure of speech. I bet it did arise from being tricked out of your money in illegal gambling dens off Shaftesbury Avenue.
Denker singing and dancing is 10x more interesting than any moment of Anna and Bates prison drama.
Disagreed.
A pissed up Denker is a brilliant sight!
We all need an Uncle Thomas
I wonder how many footmen Denker ran that con on?
Ahhh, Mr Barrow.
Just ask your uncle Thomas.
I love Thomas.
It's a long way to Tipperary ahahhahahahhahah love the way she comes in dancing, sloshed as a sponge lol
Basically if you were a hot guy, Thomas had your back.
Or Sybil . Or a child . Or Baxter later
Ahh love me some Thomas 💗
I always crack up when Denker is drunk and the other maids find it funny too. I can't stop laughing
Denker is quite the drinker!
I love Thomas 😍
Thank you.
I didn't like Denkar here but overall I thought she was kinda fun. I can't imagine how she came to be in Violet's employ. One would have thought Violet could have been able to sniff out Denkar's less-serious side...unless she was hired for Violet's amusement, to stir the pot _Chez Dowager._ SPOILERS FOLLOW:
A compilation of her and Spratt jabbing each other would be welcome, especially near the end where Spratt writes Edith's "Agony Aunt" column and Denkar boasts about Violet's decamping to France after the hospital debacle.
“Who gives a tinker’s cuss about the maids?”😂
Mrs. Hughes certainly did and made it clear to Denker in no uncertain terms. So did Carson when he said she needed to be taken by the men in white coats. It was patiently obvious that Denker was not liked because of her insolence. She was insolent to Spratt even though the butler was higher up than she was, I wasn't supposed at her insolence to Carson. Thomas was right though, Andy wasn't there long enough and away from Denker, he settled in and did well, and Denker wasn't under Carson's jurisdiction. But while helping at Grantham House, she should have been sanctioned for her insolence.
His shining moment. :)
4 pounds and 10 shillings for 3 nights of drinking? Man inflation hit hard
Love it.
2:47 I just love what Thomas does with his mouth/face..pout/smoulder? what do u even call that?
Blue Steel
Seriously disliked Denker and Spratt for that matter. Both conniving and selfish.
I wish they did more with Spratt doing the agony column for Edith’s magazine
Dee Surry I liked both of them. I thought they were funny together
Which one is Regina and which on is Janis?
Your Grace _ I liked Spratt.
Maggie and Isobelle's reactions when Denke and Spratt were at it are just a funny.
Thomas is such a daddy 🥹 like just a loving father of all the little good ones!
Her face crack in the end sends me sksksksk
Uncle Thomas knows it all
0:45 Reminds me of what Gandalf said to Pippin!!
£4 in the mid 1920s is nearly £300 today! 😂
"Which one of you knuckleheads.... ?"
Ask your Uncle Thomas.
Its a long way, to tipperary😂😂😂😂😂😂
uncle thomas 😜
£4.10 in the mid-1920s is over £200 today lol
ha ha ha it was a good one
If 5 pounds then was 200 pounds today, then Robert paid Carson's blackmailed 800 pounds!
❤❤❤❤❤
This is only one of the few times I liked Barrow.
Does anyone know what the piano tune being played when they go into the club is?
@@Nemo66577 That's very helpful, thank you so much! I'll do some more digging 😃
I have never hated a TV charter more than her. I kept hoping she'd have a midnight run in with Jack the Ripper, except that was 1888.
I'll see your Denker and raise you one Susan MacClare (Rose's mom). The latter had zero redeeming qualities and didn't have the benefit of being entertaining at times.
Barbara Royle is that you?
I think Denker was more despicable than O'Brien.
If Miss Denker had any redeeming qualities, we never saw them. Miss O'Brien was a sly snake nearly always, but not completely without a conscience.
O'Brien was responsible for the loss of the countess's baby ,Danker was just a drunk, she was also a funny character played by a good actress.
Denker was just annoying, O’Brien was a schemer that actually tried to ruin people’s lives.
I don't know about you but I'd take a manipulative alcoholic like Denker any day of the week over someone who purposefully injured a pregnant lady and caused her to miscarry, like O'Brien had done. The latter is just pure, pure evil.
Anyone noticed that Mr "Basil Shoot" cashed TWICE for the same drinks? First, Andy paid for Denker, for 2 nights. Then, Denker is being charged for the very same thing..
He doesn't say he paid for Denker, as far as I can tell. He says he lost money at cards.
@@reginabillotti Still, the House ended up making a tidy profit off of them. It got all Andy's gambling losses plus Miss Denker paying for her drinks. (Miss Denker's scheme was that Andy's losses would pay the House for her drinking, but Barrow spoiled that -- and I'm glad he did, not for the House's profits but to get even with Miss Denker for taking advantage of Andy).
so glad he never said “uncle thomas” again
For fuck's sake.
denker's a stenker
😎📺✌✌💎
Anyone here knowing the piano gig?
Gay me when I wisened up and start to help other men learn their way in the world
So exactly how much would four pounds ten have set her back? I know it was a hundred years ago, but that still sounds pretty cheap. She drank enough to get wasted on three separate occasions at a pound and a half a pop. That doesn’t sound so bad even adjusted for inflation.
Around 200 dollars today
@@marionarda2790 Hmm, that’s probably a good ballpark figure for what it would cost to get drunk three times in a major metropolitan area today. Thanks.
Am I right to assume she was only supposed to get 1 drink and instead drank all night?
Thomas Barrow's acting and mannerisms remind me of Johnny Depp for some weird reason, though both are two different personas altogether. Depp being the better of the two. S.C.
She is really evil that old bat. Good, serves her right. I suppose that 4 pounds and 6 pence was a lot of money in the twenties !
Around 200 dollars !
Two hundred quid, all the poor servant's savings ? Poor lad !
Uncle Tom!
Why was Miss Denkar asked to pay 3 nights drink? one night with Andy, one night with Andy and Thomas. Were there 2 nights?
She took Andy twice, then the 3rd time with Thomas.
Barrow's was gay and got arrested, I can't remember who bailed him out. But Lord Grantham accepted him.
