As they face new challenges, the Crawley family and the servants who work for them remain inseparably interlinked. Throughout the great house new arrivals rattle the established hierarchies, and the lives of the inhabitants are as shaped by romance, ambition, desire, shocks and heartbreak as ever.

The secure, serene and ordered world of Downton is rocked by passions below the surface and there are changes above and below stairs.

The third series, set in 1920, sees the return of all the much-loved characters in the sumptuous setting of Downton Abbey.

Isobel Crawley. (Penelope Wilton).
Having clashed with Cora over the running of the convalescent home at Downton, Isobel left to work with the Red Cross during the war. Her passion for good causes is undimmed and the dislocation of the post-war world gives her plenty of opportunity. She has been working with destitute fallen women in York, helping them to find alternative employment and teaching them skills, work that will lead her into a complicated situation. She is happy for Matthew to marry Mary, she is also keen for her son to make his mark on Downton. Perhaps he will wrestle the estate into the twentieth century?
