It’s the catalyst that leads him to accept a very tempting offer, initially against his family’s wishes, from the dashing Jack Barber (a perfectly cast Hugh Dancy), a Hollywood director who wants to shoot his latest film at Downton Abbey.
Mary’s decision leads Downton Abbey to be passed by filmmakers and big-screen stars, including glamorous diva Myrna Dalgleish (Laura Haddock), who is hiding a personal secret, and handsome leading man Guy Dexter (Dominic West) who begins to establish a privileged relationship with certain members of staff.
However, after filming disrupts life at Downton Abbey, the film’s future is turned upside down when a call from Hollywood’s top brass halts production. It is then up to the staff and the inhabitants of the house, even the traditionalists who were initially against the project, to intervene and save the film.
