It’s Sunday night, America. Still no new episodes of Downton Abbey. You’re missing it, aren’t you? I know I am. But I’ve got some good news that may help satisfy your jonesin’ for the upstairs-downstairs antics of the 21st century’s early 20th century English estate.

You may recall our recent call to cast the rock musical version of the BBC/PBS smash hit Downton Abbey, the edgier Downtown Abbey. If you need a refresher, click this link. That’s why we provide such links, you know.

As expected, Townspeople were neither sparing nor unimaginative with their entries. Our celebrity judge, He Who Hates Litterbugs, had almost as tough a time choosing winners as we did finding pictures showing what must be considered the “bad” profiles of a number of our cast members. Our cast follows the jump, but first, congratulations to the following winners of the Top 5 casting entries, chosen for not only their physical resemblance to the Downton Abbey cast members but their overall mien:

  1. mockcarr (Carson)
  2. hrrundivbakshi (Kemal Pamuk)
  3. machinery (Bates)
  4. ladymisskirroyale (Thomas),
  5. (TIE) chergeuvarra (Lady Crawley) & cdm (Lord Crawley) 

See these inspired casting choices and many more…after the jump! Thanks to all who played along, even 2000 Man.

Any time I think of British jazz guitarist John McLaughlin I’m reminded of his skunk-ass playing on Miles DavisA Tribute to Jack Johnson and Bitches Brew and then quickly regret that fact that he not only stayed in the jazz realm but mostly put down his skunky electric guitar for tasteful, seated acoustic performances.

I must say, the person who posted the following clip on YouTube added probably the unintentionally funniest set up I will read all day:

As well as being a great musician Katia is hell of a sexy looking here. If ever I saw two people making love on a stage before…..

Wait! Before Once and For All February ends I think you’ll agree it’s time we determine—once and for all—Star Trek‘s Best Singer. The following John Peel special does as nice a job to set up the competition as I could do on my own in the limited time available to me today.

In the few minutes I do have available, however, let’s break it down a little further. No RTH People’s Poll is necessary. Take this opportunity to lobby for a winner…after the jump!

SPOILER ALERT: If you are a fan of the smash Masterpiece Theater series Downton Abbey and have not yet seen the conclusion to Season 3, you would be wise to go no further…unless, that is, your desire to cast the rock musical being made based on Downtown Abbey, retitled Downtown Abbey. If you don’t care about having the season-ending episode spoiler or if you’re up to date on recent developments and know already, proceed to the next page, where your chance to cast this rock musical extravaganza follows!
