A new Downton Abbey.

Although fans of Downton Abbey a sort of fictional serial drama, will be sad that this is now coming to an end, I have been informed that the BBC are working on the story of a family, shall we say near to my heart.
The working title is called Black Diamonds, set at Wentworth Wood House, near Rotherham, in South Yorkshire, I understand they intend to tell the 'true' story of the Fitzwilliam family from about 1890 to about 1950. It will make Downton look like a walk in the park. The family went from one of the richest and most powerful during the Industrial Revolution, to one of the poorest families, by the end of the Second World War. It's one hell of a story, many of the family ended up quite nuts, and a certain vicious ending to the saga will make it most memorable.
Although the family and the Wood House, have always remained very secretive of its history, the story is truly remarkable. The House itself is larger than Buckingham Palace, which has recently been sold to a Chinese business company, who have already agreed to filming by the BBC, over the next 18 months.
