Downton Abbey is set in England during the tumultuous era of the First World War and  centres on the lives of the aristocratic Crawley family and their servants. The trials and restrictions that the war has placed on their household is not all they have to contend with though as Downton Abbey’s loyal servants must deal with the grudges of the household’s less devoted domestics and the Crawleys’ struggle to deal with strife within the family.

Downton Abbey’s first series won a number of awards including the BAFTA TV Award for Best Director for Brian Percival and the Emmy for Outstanding Miniseries or Made for Television Movie. The show also entered the Guinness Book of Records as the most critically acclaimed TV show of 2010. Downton Abbey Series 2 carries on the show’s tradition of fascinating storylines and well-rounded characters. Created by Oscar-winning writer Julian Fellowes and featuring performances from a host of famed actors including Maggie Smith, Hugh Bonneville and Elizabeth McGovern, Downton Abbey is an essential purchase for fans of period dramas.
