With $1.5 million spent on each episode, it is also one of the most expensive. Coulthart meets star actress Joanne Froggatt and is given a private tour of the famous Highclere Castle estate by the real lady of the manor, Lady Carnarvon.
Downton Abbey is filmed in the home of the very real present day Earl and Countess Carnarvon – Highclere Castle. And the story behind Highclere’s real inhabitants in Edwardian times has inspired many of the twists of Downton’s tale.
