Everyone’s talking about… #Downton Abbey

We’re on the cusp of the last series of Downton. They’ve started filming. The Christmas special looms (even though it’s only August).

TV Guide has done a handy list of things we already know before we bid farewell. Meanwhile some of the Downton cast and creators took part in a Television Critics Association panel in the US at the weekend and we learned that there is no script or plan yet for a film, and we learned what the cast will miss (wearing the nice clothes – Lady Mary, not having to wear the manky clothes – Anna).
