I just keep remembering Monarch of the Glen and how deeply in debt they were to the bank--lots of schemes to try to keep the estate afloat. Yikes.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
To The Manor Born was my favourite "we're nobility, but broke, and refuse to stray from the ancestral lands."

I'm all married and shit. It doesn't feel any different yet, which sounds about right, since we've been living together for almost 6 years. Tim does keep calling me "Mrs. B.," which is cute as hell.

In a film review online, is the name of the film italicized?
It should be, yes.
Most of Downton Abbey that isn't upstairs-downstairs gossip is about castle budgeting.

Because books.
It depends, Cash. Old school journalistic publications like the New York Times keep them in quotes, the way they always did in print, but newer online-only pubs will italicize.
