Downton Abbey: it was the best of times, it was the worst of times. And with the end so close, we look back on the very, very worst of those times.
It’s been one hell of a journey hasn’t it, Julian Fellowes?
With only two more episodes to go (other than the Christmas special), it’s time to look back on the most bonkers toff erotica of this millennium (it’s basically a prequel to Made in Chelsea).
Because for the all the stiff upper lips and sour-faced snobbery, Downton has been serious comedy gold.
Characters have been brought in, killed off or disappeared at a pace rivaled only by the notoriously bloodthirsty Game of Thrones.
But which of the billions of random pointless subplots were the most silly?
