Part 2: http://youtube.com/watch?v=-ToJZiTmYXY A new DVD entitled Maggie Smith at the BBC has recently been released, which sounds great. Unfortunately the release seems to have been marred by idiocies: 1.) It's not available in the UK (even though Maggie is British) and 2.) It omits the BBC productions of Lily in Love and Memento Mori, in which is contained one of Maggie's "funniest performances" according to her biographer. Insane.

Downton Abbey Fans, brace yourself! Actress Maggie Smith has signed on to reprise her role as Violet Crawley in the upcoming period drama film. This news comes as a shock to fans, since she previously said she wouldn't do it because she's too old. The show came to an end last year after it's fifth season, but creator Julian Fellowes has always mentioned that he wanted to turn the popular series into a movie. Fellowes has also said that he had trouble getting his star studded cast to free up their filming schedule. Production will most likely begin next year. http://www.channel24.co.za/Movies/News/the-downton-abbey-movie-is-happening-and-maggie-smith-will-be-in-it-20160920 http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit Entertainment using http://wochit.com

This marvellous TV movie is too good not to be seen and how director Jack Clayton managed to assemble the amazing cast is unimaginable!
