Plot Synopsis
A film production company shows interest in shooting a silent picture using Downtown. Even though Robert is opposed to the idea, Mary says that the payment they receive will help do much good for Downtown. But due to unfortunate circumstances, the Movie is cancelled, saying silent movies have no future; Lady Mary suggests that they can salvage the Movie by dubbing in the dialogues which they accept.
Using Molesey’s ability to lip-read, they reconstruct the dialogues and create an impromptu script. However, when the film’s extras were quite suddenly, the staff downtown was more than happy to step up to the plate. The film gets completed successfully, and Mr Molesey gets a job offer as a screenwriter.
Downton Abbey Post Credit Scene
This time around, the Movie did not have a post-credit scene, indicating that this might be the last Downtown Movie. However, nothing has been confirmed or denied, so there is nothing we can do but wait. But since the previous movies did have a post-credit scene pointing to the future film and this one not following the pattern is worrisome, let us keep an open mind.
