Lord Julian Fellowes

Julian Fellowes on how he took his upstairs downstairs hit Downton Abbey to the big screen.

We welcome Lord Julian Fellowes to Good Morning Sunday to find out how he adapted his hit TV drama Downton Abbey for the big screen. Julian shares his take on why the inhabitants of Downton, both below and above stairs, have become so beloved by so many people around the world. Plus he discusses the role that his Catholic faith plays in his own life.

Dan Jones is a historian, broadcaster and award-winning journalist. His new critically-acclaimed book 'Crusaders', is a Game of Thrones-esque romp through the Crusades, through the eyes of some of the women and men who took part, or were caught up, in the medieval holy wars. He introduces the stories of some of his ‘Crusaders’ and explains why there is such an appetite for these epic tales today.

Plus our Charity Champion is Abed Ahmed, this year's teacher of the year. Abel overcame a stammer and now supports students at the school he once attended.
