Just looked for the Downton Abbey thread and even on Search it didn't come up so thought I would have to put another one up.

New series being filmed starting February 2013



Christmas comes early for DowntonShare thisShare on facebookShare on twitterShare on emailShare on facebook_like0 Downton Abbey will return to ITV1 in 2013 for a fourth series of the Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning drama.

Filming of eight new episodes for autumn 2013 plus an extended special episode for Christmas 2013 begins at Highclere Castle and Ealing Studios in February next year, continuing the story of the Crawley family and their servants in the early 1920s.

“Viewers can look forward to more drama, comedy, love, hatred, jealousy, rivalry, ambition, despair and romance.” Laura Mackie, Director of Drama at ITV, confirmed: “We’re thrilled to welcome back a drama series that has become a much anticipated part of all our lives every autumn and achieved success around the globe.

But first fans of the hit drama should prepare for both laughter and tears in a two-hour special to be screened on ITV1 at 9pm this Christmas Day.

“This is one episode you will want to see live with millions of others - and best have the tissues ready.” It sees Lord and Lady Grantham and family heading for a summer break in The Highlands of Scotland, leaving most of their servants back at home.

The annual visit to his Scottish cousins at Duneagle Castle, where the piper calls the tune for breakfast and dinner, is the highlight of Robert’s (Hugh Bonneville) year.

The castle is a grander step up from Downton, with deer stalking and fishing also on hand in the stunning surrounding Scottish countryside.

But while the cat's away, the mice will play and Carson will have his hands full keeping the staff behaving as one would expect...

Keep checking back for more Downton news and tune in for the Christmas special 9pm, Christmas Day on ITV1.

My son told me he had read that they are also doing a prequel which will centre around Lord and Lady Grantham's courtship.
