The characters, when not in the midst of a pause, race through history and the corridors of Highclere kasteel with breath-taking speed and dramatic flair.

Downton Abbey premiered on Great Britain’s ITV (ITV.LN) on September 26, 2010. It quickly gained a steady following (the first episode alone drew over 9 million viewers) and a 32% audience share.
