We’re wrapping up our Downton Abbey series with a look at how the show has influenced and interacted with other popular media and pop culture!
Our discussion meanders around Downton’s contribution to the surge in popularity of historical drama TV shows, to its place in the lexicon of class commentary media such as films like Parasite and Us, to the many references, spoofs, and comedy sketches the show has inspired. Listen closely and you might hear a familiar voice in one of those sketches…
We also, as is our tradition, took a “Which Character Are You?” quiz to put a cap on this series, and you’ll never guess who we got!
