As they face new challenges, the Crawley family and the servants who work for them remain inseparably interlinked. A new Labour government heralds changes that are being felt throughout the land, and life at Downton is not untouched. Robert, Mary and Branson together must navigate these shifting sands to ensure the future of the estate for generations to come. As Branson finds himself playing a more crucial role at Downton than ever before, he can’t help questioning his place in this world. Mary is finally coming to accept that she would like to marry again, but will she ever be able to find the same happiness that she had with Matthew? Meanwhile with still no news of her beloved Gregson, Edith suffers under the burden of her terrible secret. Downstairs, the servants are starting to consider what effect social changes may have on their working lives. While Daisy’s mind is opened to new possibilities, Mrs Patmore views such new and uncertain paths with trepidation. Anna and Bates have weathered many storms and are finally starting to plan their future. But with so much painful history, will they ever be able to completely move on, or will past secrets once again threaten their chance of ever finding happiness? Includes exclusive clip from Downton Abbey 2014 Christmas special PLUS The Manners of Downton Downton Abbey an exclusive documentary featuring historian and Downton Abbey historical advisor Alastair Bruce as he guides us through the etiquette of how to eat, marry, behave, dress and make money in the 1920’s. Review: Still brilliant- one smallish but vital criticism - Enjoying this series more than I expected to. Maggie Smith as ever the top draw- her every remark a delight. Although references to Britain's first 'Socialist government' a bit wide of the mark- Ramsey McDonald formed a minority Labour government in 1924 which lasted for a year before being swept out of office by Stanley Baldwin's Conservatives and pursued on the whole fairly moderate 'left wing' policies (they had to). I do not think it proposed to nationalise land held by hereditary peers and on tax was less radical than Lloyd George had been as Liberal prime minister with Conservative support during and immediately after WWI. One small but important criticism. I agree with the reviewer who said that Downton Abbey is generally very well historically-researched. But in series 5 just ending on TV there is one major error- admittedly over quite a small thing but it is a vital part of the plot! This is to do with Bates' non-visit to London from York. He bought a train ticket in York and intended to go to London and confront Anna's rapist, Green, but changed his mind. In an earlier series, the ticket had been discovered in his old coat pocket and eventually Mary had disposed of it with the aim of helping Bates. But in the latest series we learnt that the ticket would be crucial in proving Bates' innocence in the face of renewed police probing into his movements on the day Green was killed in London. The crucial thing was that as the ticket was not used for travel it was "untorn". So if Bates could produce the untorn ticket it would refute any claim he must have been in London, as if he had actually uised the ticket to travel to London it would have been "torn". Some faulty research here..train tickets then were not like bus tickets! Even in the 1950s and 1960s railway tickets were still the classic Edmonson type- tickets made of small rectangular cardboard that was quite stiff (I have a few). I know it might seem a bit train spotter-ish but no train ticket in the 1920s would ever have been torn! (Actually quite difficult to do to a small cardboard oblong). It would have been CLIPPED by the on board train ticket collector not torn. I know as I said a small point perhaps but its a pity when things like this are wrong because many viewers take their historical information from TV series like Downton. Somebody didn't do their research or as I have found often with railway matters (use of British Rail-era 1950s locos in a series set pre-WWII etc) they are regarded as not that important. But every detail counts in the authenticity of a high-quality mass-viewed TV drama series. Review: An addict's confession - After catching glimpses of season 3 while my wife was watching it, I became hooked on Downton Abbey. Like most Americans I found myself entranced by the lifestyle of the British aristocracy and its anachronistic desire to never give in to social change and the demotion of their class. It plays like a soap opera but with such quality actors and scripts that it assumes the mantel of an epic. I proceeded to "binge watch" all 4 seasons. When the final episode concluded I felt abandoned, so many situations left hanging, too many familiar faces I'd grown to love or hate suspended in a limbo controlled by the whims of commoners who hold sway on schedules and production and editing. I could not accept that I would be held hostage until the season 5 began to show here in the former colony in January of 2015. I concluded that to feed my fix I should go to the motherland's sources for my dose of Downton. I ordered it from desertcart UK and had it in a week. I spent another decent sum to get a multi- region bluray DVD player just for this set. By Christmas my wife and I had relished every episode and all the extras. But you crafty British folk knew my Achiles heel and left me even more unsettled mysteries to ponder. And the final blow was the preview of season 6. Now all I can do is check this site every week in 2015 until I see that my drug of choice, season 6 of the best show I have ever viewed, is available to pull me back into its web. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00N9XCBGG | | Actors | Hugh Bonneville, Jim Carter, Maggie Smith, Michelle Dockery | | Aspect Ratio | 16:9 - 1.78:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | 16,433 in Electronics & Photo ( See Top 100 in Electronics & Photo ) 157 in DVD-VCR Combinations | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (7,372) | | Dubbed: | Unknown | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Language | Unqualified | | Manufacturer reference | MJ-QQX4-MG3L | | Media Format | PAL | | Number of discs | 3 | | Product Dimensions | 13.5 x 1.5 x 19 cm; 130 g | | Release date | 17 Nov. 2014 | | Studio | Universal Pictures UK | | Subtitles: | Unknown | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Hugh Bonneville, Jim Carter, Maggie Smith, Michelle Dockery - **Format:** PAL - **Language:** English - **Number of discs:** 3 - **Publication date:** 17 Nov. 2014 ## Images ![Downton Abbey - Series 5 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91gO8n8KfYL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Still brilliant- one smallish but vital criticism *by R***Y on 9 November 2014* Enjoying this series more than I expected to.

I hope there will be some good extras. I do think though that series 5 should be the final one, nobody has aged very much at all not even the Dowager and there is a danger now of having too much of a good thing. I would not usually comment until having seen the DVD but decided to add my views on the show in general as this seems to be acceptable today. Just finished watching the 3 DVD's (November 2014) and it's brilliant with great extras. Looking forward to the Christmas special and can now see the possibilities for a series 6. Still a danger though of having too much of a good thing! To those posting low star reviews: please stick to the programme or the DVD.
