The Downton Dish: Special Edition

February 27, 2016 Jonna Mayberry Leave a Comment

While a new episode of Downton Abbey won’t be airing this Sunday night – the finale airs 8 p.m. next Sunday, March 6 – we just couldn’t go a whole week without Downton, and luckily, we don’t have to. WPT is airing a Downton Abbey: The Final Season marathon beginning 11 a.m. Sunday. A lot happened this season, so this is the perfect time to catch up on important plot points before the series finale.

We’re also taking this time to reflect on some of our favorite moments from our video series, The Downton Dish. Kait and I have had such a blast recapping each episode of this season. We’ve laughed. We’ve cried. We’ve almost fallen off our chairs (literally). Here are just a few of our favorite clips:

(Stay tuned: We’ll be back with one final episode of The Downton Dish after the series finale airs on March 6!)

It’s hard to accept the fact that Downton Abbey is almost over, but there’s still time to squeeze in as much Downton as possible. Join us for A Downton Abbey Farewell, 5:30 p.m. Saturday, March 5 at The University Club in Madison! It’s a fundraising event for WPT, and the event will feature Downton Abbey-inspired food and fun, both upstairs and downstairs, as the University Club is transformed into a lavish estate. Kait and I will be there and we’d love to meet you! Get all of the details here.
