Episode 4
A dinner out sparks a dreadful faux pas. Charles has to leave early, so Simon offers to drive Edith home. Stars Hugh Bonneville.
Satire on English snobbery, adapted from his own novel by Julian Fellowes.
Simon is on sparkling form when David and Isabel Easton invite the Broughtons and some of the film crew out for dinner, not realising that they are making a dreadful faux pas. But the evening takes an embarrassing turn and Charles is forced to make an early departure.
