00:00Rolling camera and action!

00:03In Downton Abbey 3, we're in 1930 and it's the Crawleys against the world.

00:08Don't you see what this means for Downton?

00:10Times as per usual in Downton are inexorably changing and full of dramatic events.

00:19The news is bad, isn't it?

00:20How could you tell?

00:21The principal adventure for the Crawleys this time is the social calendar.

00:27To go to the races and to go to the theatre and see London Society.

00:32Before the whole thing implodes a scandal.

00:35Lady Mary must go now. She's divorced!

00:39I'm very sorry. I shouldn't have come.

00:44Lady Mary's divorce has opened up a new chapter in her life. A daunting one.

00:50That is what's happened. Now you must just get on with it.

00:53What about her running Downton? Don't you want her in command?

00:57But she's ready to embark on taking the reins at Downton.

01:02A lot of the characters are looking at retirement, at re-negotiating life as they knew it.

01:08The world is changing. The way we talk, the way we dress, the way we deal with each other.

01:12And it was very exciting to work with new characters.

01:15Julian, he's so good at picking the little jewels from every era.

01:19And to have Noel Coward in is such a bold move because he's very much the soul of that time.

01:26Noel was this total powerhouse of theatre and a style icon.

01:31Bravo!

01:32And all these characters that audiences love, I think of them as my family.

01:40This one's really up to the scale.

01:42The costumes, the story, it's glorious and glamorous and stunning.

01:47I think this is a beautiful way to end it. I'll miss it.

01:50The future of Downton Abbey is now in Mary's hands.

01:55You will be a sensation.

01:57Downton is made for the big screen.

01:59I love being able to go to a cinema and just put my phone down and just be immersed in it and escape.

02:06Long live Downton Abbey. I'll enter that.
