5. Period/costume drama
Downtown abbey is said to be the most expensive
British TV drama ever filmed . Julian Fellowes’s
script was sharp and knowing, combining acute
social observation with delicious sexual and
financial intrigue. The seven episodes seldom put a
foot wrong. Although much was made of Maggie
Smith’s performance as the calculating countess, it
was Hugh Bonneville, who deserves a knighthood
for services to the dinner jacket, who was the
classiest act.

were paramount.
