movie just days away from its theatrical release, it’s time to catch up with our favorite British aristocrats and those who dress, serve, and cook for them. Picking up in 1927, just two years after the end of the show, the film centers largely around one major event: a visit to Downton Abbey by King George V and Queen Mary. But don’t worry, there’s lots of room for the
intrigue, banter, and romance we’ve come to expect from this lot. Just add a tiara or two! Ahead, we’ve broken down each character’s story arc from the series finale. (If you want a more narrative recap, you can find that here.) From Daisy and Andy’s fraught courtship, to Mr. Molesley new career, and Lady Edith’s “English version of a happy ending,”
it’s all here to refresh your memory ahead of the royal visit that will undoubtedly put everyone on edge, and re-open wounds we thought long-closed. Welcome back to Downton! Now what is a week-end? FANS are thrilled the Downton Abbey film has finally hit cinemas. It's been almost four years since we have had a glimpse of the Grantham family and their fabulous home - here's what happened in the last episode and what you can expect from the movie.  3 The Downton Abbey film is hitting cinemasCredit: AP:Associated PressHow did the Downton Abbey TV show end?If like us you can't wait for the new movie, you might might want a little refresher on what happened on very last episode of Downton, which aired on Christmas Day 2015: A lot went down on Downton Abbey's last ever episode. Lady Mary revealed she was pregnant with her second husband Henry’s baby. Lady Edith finally found her happily-ever-aftr when she married Bertie Pelham, becoming a family of three with her illegitimate daughter Marigold. Our favourite Downton couple Anna and Bates finally had a baby boy. After marrying Mrs Hughes, poor Mr Carson developed palsy and had to retire, and Thomas Barrow stepped into his shoes as butler. Daisy developed feelings for footman Andy and then went off to live on the farm inherited from her first husband William. The series ended with all being happy at Downton and the servants all singing Auld lang Syne. Above stairs Countess Grantham and Isobel discussed the future and how they wished things could stay the same. 3 Fans can't wait for the movie version of the hit TV showCredit: AP:Associated PressWhat will happen on the Downton Abbey film?The movie will revolve around a royal visit from King George V and Queen Mary. It will follow on a year from when the TV show ended and pick up in 1927. With the Great Depression looming the Crawleys are having to tighten their belts - and see their army of servants reduced. The movie will see Carson the butler, played by Jim Carter, summoned out of retirement by Lady Mary to try to restore glory to Downton as they prepare for their royal visit. The film will also see Lady Mary considering whether to leave the estate forever - however, her trusty maid and confidant Anna Bates is on hand to attempt to sway her to stay. Downstairs the servants are just as excited for the King George's visit with cook Beryl Patmore starting her preparations. But their feathers are ruffled as the royal household takes over, so the Downton staff stage a comeback. Meanwhile, Branson gets a new love interest and the Dowager Countess is also back with lots of witty one-liners. 3 Jim Carter returns as Mr CarsonCredit: AP:Associated PressAre there any big differences between Downtown Abbey the TV series and the film?According to the reviews, the film is very similar to the TV show. However, Jim Carter, who plays Carson, has revealed that the film will see the female characters become more liberated as times change. He said: “We’ve been edging towards that with Daisy becoming more emancipated, an education. “And Anna’s always been strong – she comes on powerfully in the film which is great, it’s good to see. “The First World War changed everything… People quite rightly started saying, ‘Hang on a minute, do we have to accept the status quo?’ Composer John Lunn - who is behind the music for the TV show - has also provided the score for the movie. Lunn won two Emmy Awards for his music for Downton Abbey, and in a statement revealing his return he said: “At first it was like discovering a long-lost friend, but gradually I realised that we’d never really been apart; by the end it was just such a joy to revisit this material and have the opportunity to take it to a whole new level.” More on Downton AbbeyWhen was the Downton Abbey movie released?Downton Abbey movie hit UK cinemas on September 13, 2019.
