Description
This richly illustrated short, extracted from the official book The Chronicles of Downton Abbey peels back the curtain on the making of Series 3. With a foreword from Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes.
You'll have privileged access to the on-set jokes and camaraderie between the actors - including anecdotes about Jim Carter's (Carson's) magic tricks and a revelation that two actors liked to burst into an impromptu duet of the Three Degrees classic "When Will I See You Again" between takes - find out who!
See also how the sets at Highclere Castle and Ealing Studios were adapted, and hear from the costume and make up artists about the incredible attention to detail they applied to bring the 1920s so vividly to life.
Purchase this ebook short and the others in the series to get closer still to the characters at Downton Abbey and to understand more about their social context - from the changing role of the aristocracy to fashion and beauty, American Anglophiles, the Suffragette movement and life below stairs in a big country house like Downton.
