"if you loved the tv show you'll be delighted in the DVD"
Enjoyed every moment of Downton Abbey when it was on TV and was thrilled to see it released on DVD so quickly here in New Zealand. Had it pre-ordered so got it the day after it finished screening on tv. Was absolutely thrilled when I started watching the DVD to find that the episodes were longer than the ones we saw on TV. It's wonderful to be able to see more of this amazing series. Bring on series two.
"Exciting TV viewing. Well written and acted. Watched it all now"
I love this series. From the first to the last episode I was totally
absorbed in the story. Love having the DVD so can watch it again and again.
Spectacular setting, the castle is beautiful. Will have to wait until October
time for the next series, cant come soon enough.
Its a great story. Highly recommend it to those who enjoy classic dramas.

Description
Set in England in the years leading up to the First World War, Downton Abbey tells the story of a complicated community. The house has been home to the Crawley family for many generations, but it is also where their servants live, and 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 look out 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 world, serene and ordered, and, at first glance, it seems it will last forever. Little do they know, family or staff, that the clouds of the conflict that will change everything are already gathering over their heads.
This sumptuous costume drama, written and created by Academy Award™ winner Julian Fellowes (Gosford Park, The Young Victoria) boasts an all-star cast featuring Hugh Bonneville (Lost in Austen), Maggie Smith (Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang, Harry Potter), Elizabeth McGovern (Clash of the Titans), Michelle Dockery (Cranford), Dan Stevens (Sense & Sensibility), Penelope Wilton (Dr Who, Pride & Prejudice), Jim Carter (Cranford), Phyllis Logan , Siobhan Finneran (Benidorm), Joanne Froggatt (Robin Hood), Rob James-Collier (Coronation Street) and Brendan Coyle (Lark Rise to Candleford). This prestigious ensemble brings the world of Downton to life with splendour and passion.

I am watching this on TV at the moment and it's wonderful. A period drama that will keep you guessing " what will happen next" Lovely clothes, romance. For the guys scandal, revenge. Be good to watch on DVD without the adverts.
