Summary

As we return to Downton Abbey, we enter a new era where the world of Downton is in flux. We’ll speak to the cast and creators of this new movie to see what the future holds and re-cap on the many cliff-hangers from the last film. We’ll go behind the scenes to hear how they brought the film to life and we’ll also get an inkling of who - or what - may be coming to Downton to disrupt the natural order of things.

Music by John Lunn
