Downton Abbey

Guest: Jamie Horrocks, PhD, Assistant Professor of English at BYU As Downton Abbey begins its sixth and final season on Masterpiece in the United States, it remains the highest-rated PBS drama in history. Nearly 10 million people tune in Sunday evenings for the glamorous gowns, class tensions and salacious storylines of the Crawley family and their many servants. Downton Abbey features a mainly British cast and it’s pretty popular in the U.K., but, Americans are bonkers for this show.
