Emma Thompson seems like she doesn't age at all and thank goodness no plastic surgery or anything. she looks magnificent for her age.

I love this series. The acting and writing are both outstanding. Especially the latter. At times the dialogue is so rapid, and accents a little thick, I had to back it up and turn on the subtitles. And glad I did. I missed a lot. Just great stuff. Highly recommend and gets my highest rating.
