The Problem with a Downton Abbey New York Trip

This according to Downton Abbey producer Gareth Neame (pictured) who, on Monday at a Season Five preview event in Manhattan, answered an audience question about the idea of the ITV/PBS smash featuring an episode (or two) set here. From AP Entertainment reporter Alicia Rancilio’s item:

An audience member noted that the Crowleys — the fictional aristocratic family that the show is centered on — have relatives in New York and asked whether Downton Abbey would ever go there on location.
