剧情简介：

Downton Abbey is a British costume drama television series created by Julian Fellowes and co-produced by Carnival Films and Masterpiece. It first aired on ITV in the United Kingdom on 26 September 2010 and on PBS in the United States on 9 January 2011 as part of the Masterpiece Classic anthology. Four series have been made so far; a fifth is planned for 2014.

The series, set in the fictional Yorkshire country estate of Downton Abbey, depicts the lives of the aristocratic Crawley family and their servants in the post-Edwardian era—with the great events in history having an effect on their lives and on the British social hierarchy. Such events depicted throughout the series include news of the sinking of the RMS Titanic in the first series; the outbreak of the First World War, the Spanish influenza pandemic, and the Marconi scandal in the second series; the interwar period and the formation of the Irish Free State in the third series; and the Teapot Dome scandal in the fourth series.

Downton Abbey has received critical acclaim from television critics and won numerous accolades, including a Golden Globe Award for Best Miniseries or Television Film and a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Miniseries or Movie. It was recognised by Guinness World Records as the most critically acclaimed English-language television series of 2011. It earned the most nominations of any international television series in the history of the Primetime Emmy Awards, with twenty-seven in total (after two series). It was the most watched television series on both ITV and PBS, and subsequently became the most successful British costume drama series since the 1981 television serial of Brideshead Revisited. By the third series, it had become one of the most widely watched television drama shows in the world.

《唐顿庄园》，是一部嘉年华电影公司为英国独立电视台（ITV）制作的时代迷你剧，创作人及主笔是演员兼作家朱利安·费罗斯（Julian Fellowes）。时间设定在1910年代英王乔治五世（George V）在位时约克郡一个虚构的庄园——“唐顿庄园”。本剧由休·邦尼维尔（Hugh Bonneville）及玛吉·史密斯（Maggie Smith）主演。2010年9月26日，该剧在ITV1台首播。

该剧获得的反响很积极，获得的收视率极高（对这类剧集来说），并且在播出后得到不少知名奖项的提名，并在其中部分奖项中获奖。更成为自1981年剧集《故园风雨后》后最成功的一部英国时代剧，并且在2011年荣膺吉尼斯世界纪录大全的2010年“全球最受好评的电视剧”，这是首个获此殊荣的英国电视剧。

故事发生在虚构的唐顿庄园，也就是本姓克劳利（Crawley）的世袭贵族格兰瑟姆伯爵（The Rt Hon The Earl of Grantham）夫妇的祖传府第[4]，围绕着他们的家族和仆人们的种种形式的生活。第一辑第一集的故事时间设定于1912年四月，以奥林匹克级邮轮泰坦尼克号处女航时撞上冰山后沉没的海难事件为故事的引子，而第二辑的故事开场已经是欧战爆发后的1916年索姆河战役。每一季, 一集成本估计平均为一百万英镑，舆论认为是继八十年代的《故园风雨后》以来最成功的英国时代剧，单在英国本土便有逾1,000万的观众收看。在美国该剧也广为接受，平均每集有600万的观众。
