What you may need to know:
1. Carson gets a happy ending.
2. Julian Fellowes can finally put away his copy of ’20th Century History for Dummies’.
3. There’s no doubt that Downton suffered a dip in quality after Dan Stevens’ departure at the end of series three, but new love interest Matthew Goode should make the ladies happy.
4. These final nine episodes better have more in store than the very poor last series. Who could forget Branson fretting about pigs, the death of Isis the dog, or that unbearably tense scene when Lady Mary took her hat off?
5. All the previous seasons are on Netflix if you fancy a catch-up.
6. Broadsheet prognosis: It’s been emotional.
Release Date: September 20.

The cast is vast and the storylines meandering. I love it.
So historically inaccurate, far-fetched, ridiculous, over-acted and waywardly. Worth it all just for Maggie Smith’s quips.

Another Period blows all the competition out of the water. Lawn boating, anyone?
Quite enjoyed the first couple of series. But the whole raison-d’être of the show was securing the family’s line, and once they managed to write that, the show lost it’s way.
Sad to say, it became just another tedious soap opera.
Needs more Zombies and disaffected Russians with endless supplies of ammo for their gold plated AK’s !
