And will Anna and Bates overcome the many hurdles that have been set before them?

2014年圣诞我们依然有长达两个小时的《唐顿庄园》特别篇作伴。鉴于2012年以悲剧结尾的圣诞特辑播出之后，大批愤怒的观众向ITV投诉说这个结局毁了他们的圣诞节，这几年我们应该不会看到编剧朱利安·费罗斯在圣诞又一次大开杀戒了。今年的特别篇会给剧迷塑造出前所未有节日气氛，剧情也将难得聚焦在克劳利一家的圣诞经历上。其实圣诞剧集是可以完全不必植入圣诞元素的，这也是一直以来英剧中存在的不成文习惯。

Season 5 finds the Crawley family and the staff struggling with responsibilities and choices as they adjust to life in the Roaring Twenties. A new Labour government heralds changes that are being felt throughout the land, and Robert, Mary and Branson together must navigate these shifting sands to ensure the future of the estate for generations to come. As Branson finds himself playing a more crucial role at Downton than ever before, he can’t help questioning his place in this world. Mary is finally coming to accept that she would like to marry again, but will she ever be able to find the same happiness that she had with Matthew? Meanwhile with still no news of her beloved Gregson, Edith suffers under the burden of her terrible secret. Downstairs, the servants are starting to consider what effect social changes may have on their working lives. While Daisy’s mind is opened to new possibilities, Mrs Patmore views such new and uncertain paths with trepidation. Anna and Bates have weathered many storms and are finally starting to plan their future. But with so much painful history, will they ever be able to completely move on, or will past secrets once again threaten their chance of ever finding happiness?

Set in 1922, the fourth series sees Lady Mary mourning her loss as the Crawley family and the servants who work for them remain inseparably interlinked.

The Great War rages across Europe, and not even the serene Yorkshire countryside is free from its effects. The men and women of Downton are doing their part both on the front lines and the home front, but the intensity of war only serves to inflame the more familiar passions: love, loss, blackmail, and betrayal.
