Downton Abbey: The cast and crew reveal the secrets of filming Downton | Mail Online

Downton Abbey: The cast and crew reveal the secrets of filming Downton | Mail Online: "It is authenticity, not just period atmosphere, that has made Downton Abbey such a huge success. Listen carefully and you will hear the actors say ‘nye-ther’ and ‘eye-ther’ rather than ‘nee-ther’ or ‘ee-ther’, an Americanism that didn’t come to these shores until American GIs were based here in the Second World War.

Attention to detail is vital – not least because, as with the first series, eagle eyes will be out there among the millions of viewers trying to spot glitches and historical howlers. Every attempt is made to get the period right. "
