"It's like herding cats!" Michelle Dockery & cast on filming the sequel | Downton Abbey: A New Era

It's not long now until Downton Abbey: A New Era is released in cinemas. While the film will take us on a whirlwind adventure to the South of France, we won't – unlike in popular fellow period drama Bridgeton – be seeing the cast of Downton get hot under the collar anytime soon.

Speaking exclusively to Digital Spy, the films cast including actors Allen Leech, Michael Fox, Joanne Froggatt and Sophie McShera delve into making the movie, a possible return for another big screen adventure and gave their thoughts on whether the long-running drama would ever include any racy scenes.
