* [[Dawson Casting]]: The series starts out by doing this; for example, Lady Sybil is 16 at the time the show begins, but played by the 21-year-old Jessica Brown Findlay. Since the show's time [[Dashed Plotline|progresses considerably faster than real time]], this doesn't last; by the end of Series 2, Sybil has actually passed Findlay's real age.
* [[Dueling Shows]]: With the revival of ''[[Upstairs, Downstairs]]''. ''Downton'' came out the clear winner as an international mega-hit for all six series, while ''Upstairs'' was cancelled after its second series.
* [[Edited for Syndication]]: Originally aired in the UK as 7 episodes, most of which are about 45 minutes long, except for the first and the last episodes, each of which clock in at a little over an hour. When ''Downton Abbey'' first aired in the US, it was condensed into four 90-minute episodes of ''[[Masterpiece Theater|Masterpiece]]'' on PBS. The U.S. DVD restores the full-length UK version.
* [[Fake American]]: Gary Carr is English — and unfortunately his rather stage-school attempt at a generic American accent makes this obvious.
* [[Fan Community Nicknames]]: Downtonians.
