Downton Abbey

Lavish period drama following the lives of the aristocratic Crawley family and their servants. Mary's secret assignation is very nearly blown, but Violet's quick thinking saves the day - meanwhile, Robert is left red-faced and furious when things do not go as planned, the events surrounding Green's death come under scrutiny once again, and Mrs Patmore is devastated when old wounds are reopened but Carson is unsympathetic. Elsewhere, Branson receives an interesting proposition concerning the future of the Downton estate, and a figure from Violet's distant past suggests that she has buried secrets of her own.
