BUT THERE WAS A BIG PROBLEM WH THE SHOW, ONE THAT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO PE: NOT ENOUGH AMERINS! CORA, THE YANKEE HEIRS WHO MARRIED TO BRISH ARISTOCRACY, WAS PRETTY MUCH . BUT EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE, WANTS TO SEE MORE AMERINS THGS, WHICH IS WHY FELLOW HAS SOUGHT TO RECTIFY THE ISSUE.HE’S DONE SO WH THE GILD AGE (HBO, JANUARY 24), A NEW SERI ABOUT THE WORLD CORA LEFT BEHD TO MOVE ACROSS THE OCEAN.

IT IS BOTH PREQUEL, OF A SORT, AND PLEMENT TO DOWNTON ABBEY, MORE NCERNED WH LARGER SYSTEMS OF INDTRIAL AGE WEALTH AND PRIVILEGE THAN WH ONE LORDLY FAY. THAT’S FASCATG, AND DAMNG, HISTORY TO EXPLORE.

THAT MAK MUCH LIKE DOWNTON ABBEY, THOUGH THAT SERI DID VEER TO HEAVY MELODRAMA ON OCSN.IN THE FIVE GILD AGE EPISOS I’VE SEEN, SUCH ATH OR MISERY ONLY BARELY OCCURS. THE MA TENSN OF THE SERI IS BETWEEN THE OLD MONEY VAN RHIJN FAY AND THE RSELLS, NEW MONEY RAILROAD TYONS WHO’VE MOVED TO A RECENTLY BUILT PALACE ACROSS THE STREET. ORPHANED AND PENNILS, YOUNG MARIAN BROOK (LOUISA JABSON) TO LIVE WH HER NTS AGN (CHRISTE BARANSKI) AND ADA (CYNTHIA NIXON), CUR ABOUT CENTRAL PARK EAST SOCIETY BUT SKEPTIL OF , TOO.

FELLOW IS EPLY VTED THIS NFLICT; EPISO AFTER EPISO SE BERTHA TRY AND FAIL TO BREAK TO THE NER CIRCLE OF MRS. ASTOR’S FOUR HUNDRED WHILE AGN AND OTHERS TURN UP THEIR NOS, OR WORSE. THE REPETN MAY GROW A B TIROME, BUT COON AND BARANSKI ARE MAGIC ENOUGH TO KEEP VTED.FELLOW TRI TO WORK SOME MORE PROBG SOCIAL MENTARY WH A CHARACTER, PEGGY, PLAYED BY DENéE BENTON. RACE WAS HARDLY MENTNED ON DOWNTON ABBEY, WHEREAS THE NEW WORLD OF THE GILD AGE PROV UNAVOIDABLE. PEGGY IS TED AND CLEVER, AN ASPIRG WRER. SHE SOON FDS HERSELF WORKG AS AGN’S SECRETARY (AGN WR A LOT OF LETTERS) AND BE THE EQUENT PANN AND NFIDANT OF MARIAN. AS A BLACK WOMAN A STRGENTLY WHE ENVIRONMENT, PEGGY IS CERTALY AN OUTSIR, AND IS TREATED AS SUCH BY SOME. BUT THE GILD AGE IS TOO NCERNED WH GENTILY TO GO HARD ON PEGGY’S OTHERNS AND ALIENATN. HER WELL-HEELED PARENTS, PLAYED BY AUDRA MACDONALD AND JOHN DOUGLAS THOMPSON, ARE MORE DISAPPROVG OF PEGGY’S ENTREE TO THIS UPTOWN ESYSTEM (THEY LIVE AMONG BLACK SOCIETY BROOKLYN) THAN ARE THE PEOPLE WH , WHICH DON’T RG QUE RIGHT.

MY HOPE IS THAT HER ARC IS ACTUALLY RRYG HER AWAY OM ALL THIS OLIGARCHIC AWFULNS, NOT TRYG TO GRATIATE HER TO . AS WAS TE OF DOWNTON ABBEY, THERE IS A MA-ISH GAY CHARACTER ON THE GILD AGE, ONCE AGA A MOSTLY CLOSETED SCHEMER AND HALF VILLA—BEE, I SUPPOSE, FELLOW IS GOG TO FELLOW. THIS CHARACTER AT LEAST IS SHOWN MOMENTS OF TIMACY WH ANOTHER MAN, GNIZANT THAT HE MT MARRY A WOMAN TO KEEP UP APPEARANC, BUT STEADFASTLY TERMED TO MATA HIS DISCREET LIFTYLE ALL THE WHILE.

I DOUBT MY EXCEMENT ABOUT THOSE FOOTLIGHT NOTABL WILL BE SHARED BY THE MAJORY OF THE PEOPLE WATCHG THE SHOW, BUT THE THEATER EASTER EGGS ARE CERTALY THERE FOR THOSE WHO RE TO ENJOY. SIMPLE ENJOYMENT IS ALL ONE N REALLY GLEAN OM THIS SERI.

They were on Broadway. They were makg seri and so on,” he says. “So was only for me really about a year after the end of the show, the murmur wouldn't die down and I started to thk, 'Well if there is a film, I'd better make a few cisns about what's gog to be .’ ”</p><p class="">Set the fictnal Yorkshire untry tate of Downton Abbey, the seri picted the liv of an aristocratic fay and their servants om 1912 to 1926. The show end 2015, and now the new film wh a screenplay by Fellow opens theaters this week.</p><p class="">The movie stars all of the old favor om the televisn seri — Michelle Dockery as Lady Mary, Hugh Bonneville as the Earl of Grantham, Elizabeth McGovern as the earl’s Amerin wife Cora, and Maggie Smh as the Dowager Counts.</p><p class="">In the film, the hoe is antilly preparg for the arrival of Kg Gee V and his wife, Mary. Fellow says he chose a royal vis as the talyst for the film bee he says ’s an event that would affect everyone the hoe different ways.</p><p class="nt-medium">“They would all be on their to,” he says. “They might be hostile.

And a sense they have not changed his beliefs. They haven't. But what they have done is change his perceptn on how to nduct himself society. I mean the reason he do have a very signifint role is that when I was cidg that we were gog to do , I was lookg at the last seri and I realized that Tom Branson was the only one who wasn't a sense settled at the end of the show. Everyone else was, even the long unhappy Edh had found her perfect man. And I didn't want to unpick any of that. But gave me Tom Branson as someone who uld have a love story, which I thk the film need.”</p><p class=""><b>On the portrayal of gay life 1920s Bra</b></p><p class="nt-medium">“There's no reason to believe there's any smaller percentage of people were gay 1927 than there are now. The difference beg that 98% of them were forced to live a lie, and I thk 's important to remd particularly young people that we have e a long way this area. I mean at the moment, all you ever hear is how terrible everythg is, but there are certa thgs that have improved and that is one of them. But the gatherg plac were not as they would be, even at the end of the '50s when was still illegal, but was begng to be clear that wouldn't be for very much longer. That wasn't te the '20s. And if you had a gatherg place, wasn't all led wh red plh and everyone havg a lovely drk at the bar. It was a warehoe. It was a storeroom. It was anywhere where you uld set up and move at a moment's notice when the police found out. And I hope that through the film, that was very very difficult to be gay and to live a life. And I don't want to lose touch wh that really.”</p><p class=""><b>On wrg for Maggie Smh and Penelope Wilton</b></p><p class="nt-medium">“Well 's om when you're wrg for that level of flair bee you know that they're gog to h the spot every time and they're gog to h the target. When you know they're gog to Maggie and Penelope or [Imelda Stnton] or whatever, is very satisfactory. And actually one of the greatt pleasur of this latt adventure has been to s an enormo cema and hear people all lghg together bee you know, when you watch on televisn you don't get that. You know, you have your wife who's seen 16 tim before and your son who's readg a book and that's . And sudnly there you are the middle of people fdg funny and I love that.”</p><p class=""><b>On why “Downton Abbey” is so beloved</b></p><p class="nt-medium">“Well of urse, if I knew that I would do nothg but replite s succs for the rt of my life. But I thk there is a fascatn lookg at how our forebears lived. And one of the thgs I'm really pleased about, which I hope ‘Gosford Park’ and ‘Downton’ have ntributed to, is that when I was a child, the story of the great ho was always the story of the fay, and they were the rooms that were on show. You saw the drawg room and the library and the ballroom. But you never saw the kchens. You never saw the servants or you never saw any of that. And that's pletely different now. And I get a lot of letters enclosg photographs of people livery, footmen and hoemat and so on and lady’s maids and everythg else, and they're wrg about their great grandparents who were service, and they did this and they did that. And I thk people have started to see that 's a way of life that belongs to all.”</p><p class=""><b>On the timg of the film at a moment when Bra is gog through turmoil </b></p><p class="nt-medium">“It wouldn't surprise me if people like to be able to take two hours off Brex for a change. We all have strong opns about , and we all have iends on both sis and 's an unual suatn bee 's a difference of opn that don't n along class l or north and south or even age. You get fai divid. People are jt spl about wh no real pattern. And that's very tirg to be the middle. You go to a dner party and sudnly the subject up, and everyone go hatchet-faced all round the table. And this is jt a rt om .”</p><hr/><p class=""><em><a href=">Emiko Tamagawa</a> produced and eded this terview for broadst wh <a href=">Todd Mundt</a>. <a href=">Samantha Raphelson</a> adapted for the web. </em></p></sectn><sectn class="article-sectn--story-group article-sectn--centered"><p class=""><em>This segment aired on September 18, 2019.</em></p></sectn></article><sectn class="article-sectn--story-group article-sectn--centered"><hear class="zone"><div class="zone-ner"><h2 class="zone-hdr">Related:</h2></div></hear><ul class="article-story-group"><li class="story-group-em"><a data-ec="Article Related Lks" data-el="From 'Downton Abbey' To 'The Chaperone': A Conversatn Wh Julian Fellow And Elizabeth McGovern" data-ea="Click" class="story-group-lk" href=">From 'Downton Abbey' To 'The Chaperone': A Conversatn Wh Julian Fellow And Elizabeth McGovern</a></li><li class="story-group-em"><a data-ec="Article Related Lks" data-el="Downton Abbey's Butler Explas His Relatnship Wh Lady Mary" data-ea="Click" class="story-group-lk" href=">Downton Abbey's Butler Explas His Relatnship Wh Lady Mary</a></li></ul></sectn><sectn class="article-sectn--story-group article-sectn--centered"><div class="ntributor has-photo"><div class="ntributor-profile"><figure class="ntributor-profile-em ntributor-photo"><a href="/si/staff/rob-young"><picture><img src=" class="lazy rd-image" alt=""/></picture></a></figure><p class="ntributor-profile-em ntributor-b"><a class="ntributor-name" href="/si/staff/rob-young">Rob Young</a> <span class="ntributor-tle">Co-Host, Here & Now</span><br/>Rob Young brgs more than 25 years of broadst experience to her role as host of Here & Now. </p><p class="ntributor-more"><a class="ntributor-lk ntributor-b-lk" href="/si/staff/rob-young">More…</a></p></div></div></sectn><sectn class="sectn--bo sectn--bp"><div class="uw bp--rponsive"><div class="bp-ner"><p class="bp-label">Advertisement</p><div class="bp-ntent bp-ntent--centered"><div></div><div id="adslot-447455"></div></div></div></div></sectn><div></div><div class="global-d-ponents onmand--is-playg"><div class="global-player"><d preload="to"></d><div class="global-player-bar"><div class="global-player-bar-left"><button class="global-player-bar-ntrol"><i class="in-play in-play--global-player-bar in-play--psed"><span class="in-play-shape"><span class="in-label" data-note="for-screen-rears">Rume</span></span></i></button><div class="global-player-label global-player-label--live"><div class="global-player-channel"><span>Listen Live</span></div><div class="global-player-tle"><a class="global-player-label-lk" href="/">Loadg...</a></div></div></div><div class="global-player-bar-right"><div class="global-player-x"><svg class="in in-close" viewBox="0 0 24 24" aria-labelledby="tle"><tle id="tle">Close.
