Monday 6th October – Downton Abbey
Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale, the cinematic return of the global phenomenon, follows the Crawley family and their staff as they enter the 1930s.
In the first episode of Downton Abbey 15 years ago in 2010, we were introduced to the Crawley family on the day after the sinking of the Titanic in 1912 as they received the news that the heirs to Downton had perished. After 6 seasons on ITV through WW1, postwar recovery, social changes, the rise of socialism and the decline of aristocracy and 2 films taking us towards the end of the 1920s, ‘The Grand Finale’ picks up the narrative as the family move into the 1930s.
When Mary finds herself at the centre of a public scandal and the family faces financial trouble, the entire household grapples with the threat of social disgrace. The Crawleys must embrace change as the staff prepares for a new chapter with the next generation leading Downton Abbey into the future.
