8) It's just fiction, people!

Elizabeth Mcgovern , who plays The Countess of Grantham, says: "There is no such thing as a glorious past. This is entertainment, it is not a documentary. I would never go there again.

"women have come so far. She came from such a place of captivity, compared to what we have now. Play: Cora - she has no right over their own destiny. I'm always so glad at the end of The Day , we go back to My Life , now, where we are now. There is not one part of me that has a sentimental attachment to this era as a woman. "

But there are still some unintentional similarities between the past and the present.

Phyllis Logan , who says star as a housemaid Elsie Hughes : "at that time, and continuing today, women can still unwanted attention. It is a power thing and it is still a bit of that now but hopefully it is becoming less so. "

Elizabeth adds: "the women of My Generation , we are excited about the implementation of what we should accept in the workplace. "

Julian Fellowes , says: "It was very dominated male (in the 1920s), but there were just so many intelligent women, and they had the ambitious way (to learn). This creates a tension. Mary tried to find a balance between doing the as part of your company and what you like. This voltage there is not today.

Jim adds: "We will show the 1920s in a romantic light, but life would be difficult for the servant. Lord Grantham was one of The Most benign employers. There was no safety net. "

Mary and Edith (Laura Carmichael ) in the hair have been for years, with one of its worst-outs occur in the series of six, as Mary, Edith said ' s then fiancé Bertie about your sister's illegitimate daughter, Marigold, out of spite.
