It's grouse-shooting season, and Rose's father-in-law, Lord Sinderby, has rented out Brancaster Castle in Northumberland and invited the Crawley family to a shooting party. Stowell, the Sinderbys' butler, has an ax to grind and a scandalous secret threatens to undermine the holiday. Surprises are in store as the families become better acquainted with each other and some new faces arrive on the scene. Meanwhile the servants hold the fort back at Downton.

Glad to say Downton has gone back to its normal brilliance, which proves a consolation. Maybe season 4 and season 5 can not be marked as excellent. But this Christmas special is the most amazing of amazing episodes, really worth watching. All cast have done their best in this episode, especially Maggie Smith and Michelle Dockery. The writer has finally give audience a touching emotion after season5's disturbance. Hope it could be much better in the next season.

It is really great to see emotional entanglements between characters are done and what greater is this strong britishness is back.

Good music BTW.
