Downton Abbey
Downton Abbey is a period drama on ITV set in the 1910's. The storyline begins when the upper class Grantham family find out that their cousin and presumptive heir has died in the Titanic sinking. As the family have three girls they have to find the next male heir to the house and fortune, much to the annoyance of the eldest daughter, Mary. The series is brilliant for showing typical stereotypes, for example gender, disability, class and age, as the storyline is quite old fashioned. Here are some promotional images from the show:
