The last ever Downton Abbey, and what a way to say goodbye. It's New Year's Eve in the mid-1920s and the great house is full of weddings, secrets, wobbly hands and the odd bit of mischief from the downstairs lot. Julian Fellowes ties up the loose ends of the Crawleys and their staff with a big dose of warmth, and a real sense of hope for the future. Milk the nostalgia, enjoy the frocks and listen for Maggie Smith's best lines. Settle in the good chair, pour something festive and say farewell to the family one last time.
