A Great Coda to the Series!
The sixth season of “Downton Abbey” left off on New Year’s Eve 1925, with Mary and Edith both happily married, Tom Branson having found a place for he and Little Sibby at Downton, and with Lord Grantham having realized that Mary was the best person to manage the estate, both for her future and for her son, who will one day inherit it. The film picks up in 1927, with the impending arrival of King George V (grandson of Queen Victoria, grandfather of Queen Elizabeth II) and Queen Mary to Downton as part of their tour of the Yorkshire area.Though the staff look forward to the opportunity to see and serve the royals, the Royal Page of the Backstairs makes clear that he and the royal staff will supplant Mrs. Hughes, Mrs. Patmore, Barrow, Bates and Anna, and the rest. Barrow refuses to be supplanted and takes a stand, earning Robert’s respect for his principles. Mary, hoping to keep things running smoothly, convinces Carson to come out of retirement. Meanwhile, a man seeks out Tom Branson and appears to be vetting him before the royal arrival, though Tom begins to suspect there’s more to it. The Dowager Countess looks forward to the arrival of Maud, Lady Bagshaw, the lady-in-waiting to Queen Mary and a cousin of Robert. Violet wants Maud to name Robert as her heir in order to consolidate some property that once belonged to the family, but Isobel realizes there’s more going on and works to find a compromise.The story features all the lush costume drama trappings that fans love and expect of “Downton Abbey.” It also offers one last chance to check-in on favorite characters. For example, while Sophie McShera’s Daisy still seems indecisive, there’s a nice role-reversal scene where she helps Mrs. Patmore to see the bigger picture and avoid hurting the greengrocer’s feelings. Where the television series had a perfect send-off with the end of one year and the coming of another, this film serves as a coda of sorts and looks forward. Even if series creator Julian Fellowes doesn’t make a sequel, fans can rest assured that their favorite characters are going on as they always have and that Downton is in good hands.This Blu-ray edition includes the movie on Blu-ray and DVD, with lots of behind-the-scenes extras as well as a photobook and recipe cards for those who want to try making some of the food they see in the film!

We also loved the added bonus cards and also love the fact that we can add it to our online movie account so we can watch it when we travel or when we are on the road! PBS has some great television series collections and Downton Abbey is our favorite, you might want to also watch Poldark and call the midwife, they were great as well. Shipping took almost no time at all and we got it pretty quickly, cant wait to watch again christmas day as were waiting til then to open it and treat ourselves to one of our favorite series!

I started out watching thinking this was going to be just another british soap opera. I could not have more surprised!!! Fantastic acting, story lines, and attention to detail in all aspects of production. Highly recommend!!

Great Christmas Gift
I never heard of Downton Abbey until last winter. I was hooked at the first episode! My son gave me the show for Christmas last year and it's been my favorite all year!

Riveting series
Binge worthy series. Be aware that the final episode ends the story abruptly and unresolved. There is included a film made later which is not a patch on the series. Not even close. You do find out what happens to the characters but the film is a lightweight, rather silly add-on.

Started bad and then got good.
I was so excited to get this collection. When it arrived I put it on right away. I started with season 1 and 2. Unfortunately disc 1 would not start, so I fast forwarded it and then I backed it up to start from the beginning of Part 1. The picture and sound were great. Thank you.
