Immerse yourself in Julian Fellowes’ multi-award-winning drama. The full scripts of Series Two include previously unseen dialogue and drama.
Downton Abbey has become a national phenomenon and the most successful British drama of our time. Created by Oscar-winning writer Julian Fellowes, the two series have delighted viewers and reviewers alike with stellar performances, ravishing sets and costumes and a gripping plot.
The second series of Downton Abbey opens in 1916 as the First World War rages across Europe. The Crawley family and their servants play their part on the front line and the home front, their lives intensified by the strain of war. Julian Fellowes succeeds in not only riveting his audience with cleverly woven storylines of love, loss and betrayal but also in delivering a social commentary of British life.
The Series 2 scripts give readers the opportunity to read the work in more detail and study the characters, pace and themes in depth. With an introduction and commentary from Julian Fellowes, this is an invaluable insight into how he researched and crafted the world of Downton Abbey.

‘Downton Abbey is what television should be.’ Simon Heffer, Telegraph ‘The sets and costumes are ravishing, the attention to detail painstaking and the performances are brilliant. But above all, it's a cracking story.’ The Times ‘A sumptuous, accomplished piece of television’ Guardian ‘Sundays won't be the same without Downton: In an age of patronising, tacky television, Downton Abbey was a true British gem.’ Max Hastings, Daily Mail
