“Downton Abbey” - ( Rated PG, 2 Hours, 1 minute) - Held over by popular demand! - Much of the action centers around a visit from King George V and Queen Mary. In a rare concession to modern life, the residents of Downtown Abbey appear to have tightened their belts, at least when it comes to staff. "No maid, no nanny and no valet even!" Lord Grantham booms at Lady Edith as she and her husband Bertie arrive for a visit. Fortunately, Lady Mary manages to tempt Carson out of retirement to supervise preparations for the royal visit - and not a moment too soon, because Mrs Patmore is about to spontaneously combust. What ensues is the scandal, romance, and intrigue that we so loved in the 6 seasons of this 15 Emmy award-winning series that kept us wanting more! Julian Fellowes continues the enthralling story of the Crawleys and their staff as the future of Downton / Grantham House,  hangs in the balance. Screening at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 25, Thursday, Sept. 26;  Friday, Sept. 2;  Saturday, Sept. 28; Monday, Sept. 30; Tuesday, Oct. 1 and Thursday, Oct. 3; and at 2 and 7 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 29.
