Downton Abbey: A New Era
5 January 2023
Second outing based on the popular TV series. As the thirties approaches a film crew offers a lot of money to film at Downton much to the disgust of Lord Grantham (Hugh Bonneville) but excitement of the staff and the dowager (Maggie Smith) mysteriously inherits a villa in the south of France which Lord Grantham and co visit.

Whilst this has a pretty unlikely plot, if you like the series you'll thoroughly enjoy this warming experience driven by the many popular characters that have been so loved over the years. There are a lot of little support stories going on here as well to allow everyone something to do and possibly the suggestion that this might be the end of the day for this famous English families stories. Who knows.

If you don't know Downton and obviously don't know the characters it seems unlikely that you'll get much out of it.
