An Englishman Abroad (BBC, 1983)

"The average Englishman, you see, is not interested in ideas. Say what you like about political theory. No one will listen. You could shove a whole slice of the Communist manifesto into the Queen's Speech. Nobody would turn a hair. Least of all, I suspect, HMQ."

Browne had told Bennett the tale and then gently nudged him into #writing the play‚ although it was he who suggested she play herself (reasoning that her age had no real impact on the work; and actually #despite being around 70 she convinces as her 40 something self). Schlesinger apparently muscled in and wanted to expand the story to make a #feature length cinema film but Bennett correctly stood his ground; as he said‚ this is an anecdote‚ and probably wouldn't stand dragging #out longer than an hour. as it is‚ it's a sharply delivered character study that muses on ideas of class and identity and the nature of #what is proper (in the english sense). most of his former contacts regard Burgess with an almost passive indifference‚ his status as a #traitor an incidental aside that's no more damning than his homosexuality or his alcholism was. Bennett was uneasy about casting Bates #despite their being friends‚ because he was the wrong class; this time Schlesinger was right in calling him out on that nonsense #Bates is superb as the semi tragic‚ semi noble (and frequently very funny) exile; Browne his match for spiky dialogue and raised eyebrows

Penelope Wilton was delighted when Isobel and Lord Merton finally married. "For her, Lord Merton is a future-oriented man, who is also honest and caring. He really loves her and over the time she developed strong feelings for him." taken from "Downton Abbey II - Das offizielle Buch zum Film"

"Lord and Lady Merton are still "wildly in love," as Douglas Mytton Reith puts it, the actor who plays Lord Merton.

"She is everything that my former wife, Ada, was not. I had a miserable life with Ada and my two sons, Larry in particular."

Picture and Excerpts from: Downton Abbey: A New Era, The Official Film Companion by Emma Marriott.
