“It’s all about the appetite and audiences really loved the first movie and it made sense to do another one,” Michelle said. “And this film, it is fantastic. These are two parallel stories that unfold. Some characters travel to the south of France and learn about Lady Violet’s past. And then a film crew comes to Downton to shoot a silent movie.
Michelle said her character never got to go to the south of France.
“Mary didn’t even come out to join them,” Michelle said. “But yeah, it’s fantastic. It works so well and the newcomers were brilliant – Hugh Dancy.’
