Happy birthday to Capri Director, Martin McCaffery! It's his last birthday with us. Not because he's just that old, but because his days are numbered in other ways. Show us your pics and memories for archival purposes... and because we know how much he'll love that.

Audience members last night talked about how Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale is a grand and proper send-off to the characters and the show. It sounds like the perfect movie for fans of the show!

See it today at 1, 4, and/or 7!

Our recap for the past week involves private rentals, but we found this image from when we showed the first Downton Abbey movie in 2019 and thought we'd revisit some costumed fun instead! Enjoy the sashay down memory lane!

If you have a memory you'd like to share, we'd love to see it!
