The cast and creators of the award-winning drama series tell the story of the show from the inside. The actors talk exclusively about their characters and the gripping storylines, giving the audience a real insight into the romance and conflict portrayed in the series. There is also behind-the-scenes footage from key locations - the historic Ealing Studios in London where the 'below stairs' scenes are shot and the fabulous Highclere Castle in Berkshire, site of most of the 'above stairs' scenes. Plus there is a look at the filming of the dramatic opening of the second series, set during the Battle of the Somme and shot on location near Ipswich.

Natale 1919. Downtown Abbey sta tenendo un sontuoso banchetto di Natale, ma nonostante il periodo di buoni propositi, c'è costante tensione e l'arresto di Bates ha gettato ombre sulle festività.

La famiglia Crawley si reca al Castello di Duneagle in Scozia per visitare Rose, la pronipote di Violet, e i suoi genitori Shrimpie e Susan, ma le tensioni tra i padroni di casa sono evidenti. Mentre i pochi membri della servitù di Downton al seguito cercano di adattarsi alle abitudini di un'altra casata, la famiglia prende parte alle tradizionali attività delle Highlands.

È estate e Rose sta per essere presentata a Buckingham Palace per il suo debutto in società. Tutta la famiglia si trova a Londra ad allestire Grantham House per il fitto programma mondano.

È stagione di caccia. Il suocero di Rose, Lord Sinderby, affitta il Castello Brancaster nel Northumberland e invita i Crawley a una battuta. Tutti se la godono, ma un maggiordomo con un conto in sospeso e uno scandaloso segreto minaccia di rovinare la vacanza. Le sorprese non mancano, man mano che le famiglie si conoscono meglio.

Hosted by Bernadette Peters, this is a special to review the first 4 seasons of Downton Abbey and explore whats in store for Season 5.
