Period Drama Ain't Dead

Via enchanted serenity of period films, the BBC reports that "Gosford Park" scribe Julian Fellowes (with a name like that, this career is clearly his destiny) is penning a new country-house period drama for ITV1.

Here's the deets, "Set in 1912, Downton Abbey will portray the lives of the Crawley family and the servants who work for them."

I, for one, am excited.
