      A former Spitfire pilot who died aged 95 refused a request from Downton Abbey producers to use her posh house as a set – because it would disturb her dinner parties. Molly Rose OBE was approached by the makers of the period drama who wanted to film in the dining room of her Listed home as the place where the Crawley family sat and ate. Had she agreed, Mrs Rose’s Grade II listed Georgian home, in the ancient market town of Bampton, Oxon., would have become the iconic setting of the hit British series.

      The Crown Gets First Trailer

      If anything can get us through the British winter, and fill the Downton-shaped hole, it’s going to be a lavishly set costume drama from Peter Morgan, the writer of the 2006 film The Queen starring Helen Mirren. The Crown, Netflix’s ambitious and most expensive show promises drama, intrigue and power politics in the 10-part series, following the early life of Queen Elizabeth II. The new full-length trailer features a young Elizabeth as she embarks on her reign as the newly crowned Queen as well as dealing with private conflicts between her new husband Prince Philip. The trailer opens with the Queen on her honeymoon as she receives the news of her father’s death. “Long live Queen Elizabeth” are the words that echo throughout, as we are given glimpses of how her new role will impact her her new husband, Prince Philip, and affect her relationship with the prime minister, Winston Churchill.

      Forget the fight for who might eventually take over the role of James Bond - there’s a Battle of the Brits* on its way in the 68th Emmy Awards. While Benedict Cumberbatch thinks it’s unlikely he’d ever be considered for the iconic spy role (perhaps we can have him as a villain instead) fellow thesps Idris Elba and Tom Hiddleston remain among the favourites to succeed Daniel Craig. All three are nominated for the Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie award and will find out on September 18 who takes the crown.

      “I hate goodbyes,” says Tom Branson, the former chauffeur done good, in the finale of Downton Abbey. It’s bizarre to think that six years of Downton has flown by so fast and as we take a step back to reflect, the show’s enormous reach around the globe - from stellar ratings in America to Primetime Emmy Award victories - is unparalleled for a British show. Downton truly has been a phenomenon.

      Uh-oh, that BBC/ ITV divide reigns on, with it being confirmed today that EastEnders and Downton Abbey will be competing for Christmas Day ratings as they go head-to-head. Viewers will have to choose between the last ever episode of ITV’s hit period drama or an explosive, and no doubt rather morbid, episode of the BBC One soap at 8.45pm. It might not sound like that difficult a decision to non-fans, but when you’re in a mince-pie-and-turkey related food coma on Christmas Day, this will probably be the biggest challenge that viewers could face.
