This clever parody of the legendary Downton Abbey series tackles the troubles of a British aristocratic family in the early 1930s with no holds barred, spicing things up with a dash of romance and crime. It's 1931: England and the Empire are in depression, but the noble Davenports are keeping calm and carrying on, safely ensconced in the luxurious stately home their family has owned for centuries. After the untimely - and suspicious! - deaths of all four male heirs, Lord and Lady Davenport hope that the forthcoming marriage between their daughter Poppy and her boorish cousin Archibald will keep the house in the family. When the wedding is derailed, rebellious sister Rose is lined up to take Poppy's place and secure the line of succession.
"We had an executive producer who took it upon himself to list all the jokes, give them a little title and give them a mark out of 10. There's nothing that survived that didn't get at least a seven. That was an early cut. I think we added some more jokes since, and we probably cut a few, but 278 is a pretty accurate estimate. And, of course, as well as the individual jokes, for me the biggest joke of all is the gap between how silly all of that stuff is and how seriously the actors and the characters take it." (Jim O'Hanlon)
