Period/costume dramaDowntown abbey is said to be the most expensive British TV drama ever filmed . Julian Fellowes’s script was sharp and knowing, combining acute social observation with delicious sexual and financial intrigue. The seven episodes seldom put a foot wrong. Although much was made of Maggie Smith’s performance as the calculating countess, it was Hugh Bonneville, who deserves a knighthood for services to the dinner jacket, who was the classiest act.

Inspector john Luther played by Elba.

Luther is a talented detective and pivotal member of London's SCU (Serious Crime Unit). He once quipped that he has been a police officer "since God was a boy". Life and work have merged into one for Luther and he relegates all other aspects of his life to afterthoughts, including his wife, a humanitarian lawyer, Zoe. His intelligence is unparalled in the force and it is referenced on more than one occasion that he is well-read with an interest in literature and philosophy, much to the disappointment of his father, for whom sports and the military were paramount.
