Downton Abbey fans won’t want to miss our hour celebrating the hit show and previewing the new movie which continues to follow the Crawley family but this time with the drama swirling around a visit from King George V and Queen Mary.  Marty sat down with longtime Downton stars JIM CARTER, who plays the butler Mr. Carson, KEVIN DOYLE, who plays the footman Mr. Molesley, and IMELDA STAUNTON, who plays Lady Bagshaw in the new movie, to talk about the film and series, their characters, their careers, and the Downton phenomenon.
