Video Description
This session finds out how Downton Abbey was built -- brick by brick. It was undoubtedly one of the biggest success stories on British television in 2010 -- and at a time of declining audiences for period drama. Martha Kearney will explore how the series captured the audience's imagination - and ask what this means for TV drama in the future. The panellists will discuss the drama, the cultural impact, the storytelling and casting choices, the role of social media, and the challenge of the second series. Includes a contribution from writer & creator, Julian Fellowes.
