An Elephant In The English Room

Episode Two: Elephant In The Room

In this episode, a student from David's 'Movies, TV, and Podcasts' course discusses a new movie; 'Downton Abbey - The end of an era'. This quintessential English drama reveals a great deal about life in an upper-class English family. Listen as Helen tells us why she was attracted to the movie, who her favourite character is, and whether she would recommend the movie to other students of English. If you've watched the movie, please send me your comments, and let me know whether you agree with Helen's review.
