Downton Abbey's Elizabeth McGovern to Narrate New Civil War Documentary
Downton Abbey's Elizabeth McGovern Takes On New Civil War Project.
Elizabeth McGovern has landed a new project, she will be narrating a Civil War documentary titled, "Civil War: The Untold Story" from Denver's Great Divide Pictures. It will air on public TV in the US in 2014.
Landing McGovern to narrate was fortuitous. The commitment from the actor — Lady Cora, Countess of Grantham! — is a coup for the producers, not only for the name recognition she brings but as a potential way to cross-promote the documentary within "Downton Abbey" and vice versa. The opportunity arose because Wheeler's previous films, including "How the West Was Lost," employed Peter Coyote as narrator. Coyote and McGovern share the same agent; a connection was made. Wheeler planned to fly to England to tape McGovern's narration this month.
TVLINE Interviews Downton Abbey Exec Producer Gareth Neame *Spoilers*

Downton Abbey Executive Producer Gareth Neame Talks Downton Abbey Season 4, Series Length, Emmy Race & More.
*Just warning you ahead of time if you are trying to stay away from 4th season spoilers, I would avoid this interview.
TVLINE asked some awesome and insightful questions of Downton Abbey executive producer, Gareth Neame.
They talk the challenge of avoiding spoilers with the different US & UK air times, the Emmy race, how long the Downton Abbey will run, show pace, actresses Maggie Smith & Shirley MacLaine, and the characters of Mary, Branson and Edith.
Here is an excerpt:
TVLINE: With Matthew’s death, you’ve opened up a world of romance again. Is love the main focus for Mary and the show next season?
I don’t think it is. It’s important to say that audiences are not going to want to see Lady Mary get back in the saddle by the first commercial break of the next episode and just find a new guy. People wouldn’t want that at all. People were really invested in that relationship. But audiences won’t mind new guys hitting on her, as long as she doesn’t just say, “OK, let’s go for it.” She’s got to feel that Matthew was her husband, and there’ll never be anyone else. So I would say the emphasis is really about her rebuilding her life. It’s not just about romance. But that said, there are plenty of avenues and outlets for romance in the fourth season because romance has always been at the center of the show.
TVLINE: Speaking of love, is poor Edith ever going to get some happiness?
Well, she seems to be pretty serious about this guy, right? It’s a bit complicated with him. I can tell you she’s got some great storylines ahead in Season 4. When we talked about the character, Julian Fellowes had a very strong sense that she would be the unlucky daughter. You’ve probably got some friends or family who the sun is always shining on. Everything seems to go fine. And there are other people for whom things just constantly go wrong, some stream of bad luck. That’s a little bit how it is with Edith. She’s one for whom things will just never be straightforward.
TVLINE: How will Branson be moving on as a single father?
He becomes a bigger and bigger character within the dynamic of the show. He is almost Robert’s right-hand man now. So he has a lot to do in the new season.
Read the full interview here.
As a fan, I love when great questions get asked and answered. Nice job TVLINE!
So what do you think about Gareth Neame's answers? Will Edith really always be the unlucky one? Also, how long would you like to see the show run?
