The first five series, plus the specials, of the award-winning ITV costume drama following the lives and loves of those above and below stairs in an English stately home. In the first series, set before the outbreak of World War One, the Grantham family, long-time custodians of Downton Abbey, face a crisis when the heir to the estate dies on the Titanic. With his three daughters unable to inherit by law, Robert Crawley (Hugh Bonneville), the current Earl of Grantham, must try and marry his eldest daughter off in order to obtain an heir. Meanwhile, the family's determination to cling to class and rank is mirrored in a number of growing rivalries between the servants which threaten to undermine the smooth running of the house.

Wow - I have somehow acquired various DVD's of this but never watched it.
Nevertheless, this does seem a great bargain.
Heat from me.
