The producer of the coming Downton Abbey film has said how Covid-19 meant the film was almost shot in Bognor Regis

The hit ITV period drama's latest film, 'Downton Abbey: A New Era' is set to arrive on the big screen on April 29 this year and it is reported to be set in the French Riviera.

The franchise can already lay claim to Sussex links with Midhurst's Hugh Bonneville, who plays Robert Crawley, 7th Earl of Grantham, and Pulborough resident Dame Maggie Smith playing Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham.
