UTV Ireland didn't air Downton Abbey last night, and people were RAGING
THE FINAL SEASON of Downton Abbey began last night, but could you settle in to watch the ITV period drama on its sister channel, UTV Ireland? Nope.
The programme was conspicuously absent from Irish TV listings last night, with UTV Ireland opting to air the film Serendipity instead.
No one, and we mean no one, was impressed.
Whoops!

We wonder what the Dowager Countess would have to say about the latest news?
