Downton Abbey fans rejoice – the sequel to the first flick has hit the silver screen and promises to bring more extravagant costumes, plot twists and heart-warming moments than ever.
Leaving their residence of Downton behind them, this new addition to the franchise sees the aristocrats head to the South of France to uncover the mysterious past of the Dowager Countess of Grantham [played by Maggie Smith] when she reveals she’s inherited a villa from a man in her past. It’s certainly a step away from the manor house antics we are used to!
With the long-awaited movie set to be just as popular as the first, what is the secret to the success of the posh period drama?
