Downton Abbey: A New Era

story :

In 1928, the Earl of Grantham's widowed son-in-law, Tom Branson, marries Lucy Smith, Lady Bagshaw's secret illegitimate daughter and sole heir to the Bagshaw estate. Violet Crawley, the Dowager Countess of Grantham, astonishes the family by revealing that years ago, the recently deceased Marquis de Montmirail gave her a villa; she intends to bequeath it to her great-granddaughter, Sybbie, who is Tom's daughter with the late Lady Sybil Crawley.

A film production company requests to use Downton for a silent film called The Gambler. Robert and retired butler Mr. Carson disapprove, but Robert's eldest daughter and estate manager, Lady Mary Talbot, says the income would cover replacing Downton's leaking roof. Meanwhile, the household staff are eager to see the film stars.

The new Marquis de Montmirail invites the family to visit France. The ailing Violet is unable to travel, but Tom and Lucy, Lady Bagshaw, Robert Crawley (Lord Grantham) and his wife, Cora, and their daughter Edith (the Marchioness of Hexham) and her husband, Bertie Pelham (the Marquess of Hexham), accept. Lady Mary remains at Downton to oversee the filming.
