Were you one of the 10 million plus viewers who watched the premiere of “Downton Abbey” season 5 last Sunday? That’s how many people PBS reports tuned in.

Several of you watched it with us through this online chat. We invite you to live chat and watch “Downton Abbey” Season 5 episode 2 with us right here Sunday, January 11 at 9 p.m.

A point of clarification, we are not streaming the episode here. We invite you to watch the episode on your television set when it airs and live chat here with us about it.

How do you do that, Scroll down and you’ll see the chat box, type your name and comment in the comment line under the big photo and you’re in the room. We love having you! A special welcome back to our chatroom regulars: @superawesomedave, @venessa and @yoyo and a thank you to co-blogger Rachel Buchman for helping to moderate.

This is the live chat you don’t want to miss. Our conversations are lively and fun and this year in addition to expanding our chatroom time by 10 minutes, we will be slipping in trivia questions and giveaways. If you tweet, you can also use the hashtag #downtonpbs on Twitter to follow conversations there. 

By the way, if you have trouble watching the broadcast live, don’t panic! Let us know in the chatroom and we’ll investigate it. We’re also posting each week’s episode online at gpb.org/downton the day after it airs. So you’ll have time to catch up.

Looking forward to chatting with you! Here’s a preview of episode 2 by the way - seems like Mr. Carson and “Downton” are catching up with the times!
