For Downton Abbey fans

Robert James-Collier says the upcoming Downton Abbey film will put an end to all the questions that have lingered around the series for long. The actor, who reprises his role Thomas Barrow from the acclaimed period drama series for its big screen adaptation, said he is happy the movie finally saw the light of day.

“Yeah, but with shows like Sex and the City and The Inbetweeners having successful films, there was precedence there. 

Downton is an established brand now, so for me it was a bit of a no-brainer to do a film. And I’m glad they did. It ties up a lot of loose ends and I think there was a demand for it,” James-Collier said.

The trailer of the film dropped romantic hints for his character and the actor said he is pleased to see Thomas go on an “adventure”. The film, will be released on September 13 in the UK. —PTI
