Splendour and romance, desire and heartbreak, scandal and rumours…
Spanning the idyllic pre-war era through the storms of The Great War
and beyond to the roaring 1920s, Downton Abbey tells the story of a
complicated community. Home to the Crawley family for generations,
it is also where their servants live, plan and dream and they are as
fiercely jealous of their rank as anyone. Some of them are loyal to
the family and committed to Downton as a way of life, others are
moving through on the lookout for betterment or love or just
adventure. The difference is that they know so many of the secrets
of the family, while the family know so few of theirs. But for all
the passions that rage beneath the surface, this is a secure and
ordered world and, at first glance, it seems it will last forever.
Little do they know, family or staff, that the tides of change will
not leave Downton unscathed.
