Downton Abbey premieres in Australia

Downton Abbey will debut on Seven in Australia,
beginning Sunday, May 29th at 8:30!

[Note for North Americans: Season 2 will air January 8, 2012 on PBS, Fall 2011 for UK]

Jessica Brown-Findlay in an interview, chats about filming the first season: "The scope of the story is so exciting and is set in such an amazing point in history. Their problems and their fears, and the things that bring them joy are exactly the same as those we have today. They have that same fear of being left behind, of breaking out from what their families and society want them to do. It is a human story as opposed to a story about a time." Read article

Here are 3 promo videos for Australian television. I'm excited for those who will be able to experience life with the Crawleys and the Dowager Countess! I do wish thought that they wouldn't market it as scandalous or "raunchy" as I don't think that's a fair description. While viewers should be forewarned that this isn't your typical period drama, I found it to be an excellent drama!
