Great series, have been following it for season 3. Are you glued to the tube every Saturday night at Downton Abbey? Do you dream of Lord Grantham, Matthew Crawley, Lady Mary or 'cousin' Violet? Do you want to be part of the family for one evening? Then come to Downton Avenue, the soiree that the Revérence Foundation organizes in theater salon De Avenue in Breda! http://www.stichtingreverence.nl/
Of all the existing series, Downton Abbey is really my favorite. The story is so well put together, everything historically correct and fantastically and believably played. An absolute must!
Already seen the 1st series on Belgium One. Following the Eurovision Song Contest last week, I thought that the series was only interrupted. It turns out that the first series consists of seven parts.....and you really long for the sequel. In one word.....Stunning! I am so glad that in March this year the shooting for the second series has started. It will take a while but I can hardly wait!
After eight years, there will be a new season of 'Downton Abbey' with the Crawley's making a comeback with a seventh season. The Daily Mail reports that Downton Abbey is returning. In fact, according to an insider, the recordings have already started. The series is expected to be shown on ITV at the end of the year, so it will then be a matter of waiting to see which broadcaster or streaming service picks it up for the Netherlands.
