Welcome to the first of our weekly recaps of Downton Abbey, the British drama/period series chronicling the life and late-Edwardian times of the aristocratic Crawley family and their household staff.

The first season opened in 1912, with the sinking of the Titanic, and continued through to 1914—ending with the outbreak of World War I. Last night, the second season opened in 1916: Britain is in the thick of war but many things are still at stake at Downton. Inheritance! Romance! Scandal! So much drama done up in velvet and lace, and so much brewing under the surface!

We take a look at the best and worst moments from episode one! »
