Downton Abbey

Season six of ITV's award-winning period saga Downton Abbey will be its last. The show will culminate in a concluding special on Christmas Day this year. Its creator Julian Fellowes has signed up to create The Gilded Age, an American TV period drama set in New York (CLICK). I missed the first series of Downton Abbey, because I hate all the commercials that break up programmes on ITV and because I didn't fancy another version of Upstairs, Downstairs. But when the accolades started piling up I gave it a chance. I've been hooked since 2011. Back then, Matthew Crawley was ducking and diving in the Battle of the Somme.
