It was mentioned when the show was airing on Tv that PBS edited it for the USA audience , two hours was cut from Series 1 alone and then the other series are butchered. The cuts were confirmed when they aired Series 1"𝐑𝐞𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐜𝐚 𝐄𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐧, 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐱𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐁𝐒 𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 - 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤 - 𝐚𝐝𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚 '𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐝' 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰𝐬.

In fact, in spite of the fact that Downton Abbey took the Emmy Award for 2011, i personally thought that the latter two were the better films and this is due to the fact that the plot in Downton Abbey sometimes stretches the line of credibility.Having said the above, this sumptious costume drama set in England in the years leading up to the First World War about the complicated community of Downton Abbey makes rivetting television viewing. It is about the lives of the Crawley family that have owned Downton Abbey for generations and the lives of the servants of this prestigious family.I will not elaborate on the plot, other than to say the servants know the secrets of the family while the family know so few of theirs.The acting from the whole cast is impeccable and while Maggie Smith has been singled out, they all give magnificent performances. Needless to say the cinemtography is outstanding and the attention to detail brilliant. Just one small thing in the opening to the film, the camera follows telephone lines, multiple ones, that would not have been in place at that time(I'm being picky!!!).An excellent TV series worthy of place in your film collection. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Glorious period drama! *by M***T on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 February 2011* I hate ironing but I got through a backlog of ironing without noticing! This is a very entertaining and gripping story, wonderfully acted and the settings and sumptuous costumes are a pleasure to the eye. The only downside is the format of the video which presents each episode as a separate section and I would have thought that it would be an easy matter to stream all the episodes into one continuous viewing. At the end of each episode you have to select the next which can be a bit confusing. There are 3 discs. That aside it is a wonderful rainy winter's afternoon's entertainment not to be missed and I cannot wait for series 2 due out in September!You will relish the exchanges between Maggie Smith (who has always been a wonderful actress - I don't understand why she has not been made a Dame yes) and Elizabeth McGovern, full of propriety, pinched acidity but eventually tolerating each other in agreement. The entire cast provides superb acting and the narrative is rich in information, plots and subplots, understairs politics, greed and redemption. You can see the passing of a century and people's lives changing over time. What makes this better than Uptstairs Downstairs is the cast and the superb acting. Not to be missed. You will enjoy every minute of it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/59725900-downton-abbey-series-1-dvd](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/59725900-downton-abbey-series-1-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
