From Jeeves and Wooster, to Monty Python, from Benny Hill to The Young Ones, British Comedy always has the ability to send itself up, to be slightly anarchic and to understand that, no matter what goes wrong, the show must go on.

Stylish Films: Downton Abbey – A New Era
Downton Abbey has returned with a second film, and it is every bit as warm and as lovely as the first. Called Downton Abbey – A New Era, it follows the Crawley family and their staff as they enter the 1930s. As with many aristocratic families of the time, the cost of the upkeep of Downton means they have to look for inventive ways to make money, in this case allowing their home to be used as a film set for a silent movie, a movie that soon becomes a talkie thanks to the coming of sound.
