Manufacturer Description

Downton Abbey -- a sprawling, lavish Edwardian mansion nestled in the Yorkshire landscape -- needs an heir. Dame Maggy Smith stars as Violet, the stubborn Dowager Countess of Grantham matriarch of Downton. Hugh Bonneville stars as her son, the stoic, unflapple Lord Crawley. Elizabeth McGovern is his far-sighted American wife, Cora. From Academy Award-winner Julian Fellowes. This is the original un-edited Uk model of the program.

An addictive blend of suds and social commentary, ITV's Downton Abbey delivers a microcosm of Edwardian culture together beneath a single roof. Lord Robert Crawley (Hugh Bonneville) and his household are living a daily life of leisure, whilst a fleet of servants, such as butler Carson (Jim Carter), attend to their each and every need, but two events conspire to shake issues up: the sinking of the Titanic, which statements Crawley's heirs, and the return of his valet, Bates (Brendan Coyle). Given that Crawley and Woman Cora (Elizabeth McGovern) have 3 daughters, his distant solicitor cousin, Matthew (Dan Stevens), becomes heir to the estate. With that, the scheming starts, considering that Thomas the footman (Rob James-Collier) views Bates as an interloper and Crawley's mom, Violet (Maggie Smith), feels the very same way about Matthew's mom, Isobel (Penelope Wilton).

In the custom of the BBC's Upstairs Downstairs and Robert Altman's Gosford Park, for which author-creator Julian Fellowes received an Academy Award, the royals, servants, and middle-course relations battle to get along. Sniffs uptight maid Skip O'Brien (Siobhan Finneran), "Gentlemen do not perform," but that doesn't quit Mary (Michelle Dockery) and Edith Crawley (Laura Carmichael) from competing for Matthew's affections. Though it normally requires awhile to warm up to the tightest-wound characters, most absolutely everyone unveils their far more vulnerable aspect just before the 1st year comes to an finish, and a new modest-display common is born.

The whole sprawling solid is very wonderful, especially Bonneville, Carter, and James-Collier, who provide a exciting study in contrasts (the latter is downright dastardly). In contrast to the model that aired on PBS's Masterpiece Common, this set offers 7 areas instead than 4. Extras include a featurette, in which solid and crew go over the manufacturing, and an introduction to Hampshire's Highclere Castle, which ambigu for Downton Abbey. The 1st year was a phenomenon in the United Kingdom, and Fellowes has promised a 2nd year set during Entire world War I. --Kathleen Do. Fennessy
