Query: Historical soap-don't miss it!

Each episode is a story unto itself whilst being a continuation in the saga of this family and its associated characters. Filmed on location in a superb setting, which makes for some historical accuracy not to mention eye candy, the series is a modern take on life of an aristocratic household and staff illustrating a social history of the period.Add to this the inevitable drama of three unmarried daughters and you have a modern-day soap with a lot of class!Written with warmth and wit by Julian Fellowes and with a well chosen casting, Downton Abbey proves to be an irresistible concoction.
