Downton Abbey, the British period drama that has attracted a cult following worldwide, is back this week, with 8.4 million Britons watching the first episode of the new series.
The show, which follows the lives of an aristocratic family and their domestic helpers a century ago, returned on ITV television on Sunday.
The fifth series begins in 1924, with the Labour Party governing Britain for the first time.
