Hugh shared these snaps on his Instagram
Violet is keen to fly over her family to the idyllic location, despite them being confused as to how this has come about. In one moment from the trailer, the Dowager tells her family of the villa in the French Riviera with her favoured sharp wit: "And to that I will say goodnight, and leave you to discuss my mysterious past!"
The Downton cast have been in the US promoting the new film
Meanwhile, Hugh has been busy with other projects as well as Downton including The Gold, a series based on the true story of the iconic Brink's-Mat robbery, dramatising one of the most remarkable events in British Criminal history.
The series is inspired by extensive research into the UK's 'crime of the century' which saw six armed men break into the Brink's-Mat security depot near London's Heathrow Airport in 1983 and unintentionally stumble across gold bullion worth £26m. While a release date for the new series is yet to come, we can reveal that filming for the new show began recently.
