Joanna Lumley, Jennifer Saunders and Victoria Wood parody ‘Downton Abbey’ – watch!
An all-star cast gathered to parody Downton Abbey exactly a decade ago for the BBC’s charity fundraiser Red Nose Day.
Raising money for Comic Relief, the hilarious 2011 spoof of Downton featured Jennifer Saunders, Joanna Lumley, Victoria Wood, Harry Enfield, Olivia Colman, Dale Winton, Simon Callow and more.
Watch both parts here and see if you can recognise all the references:
Red Nose Day launched in 1988 and donations help tackle important issues including homelessness, hunger, domestic abuse and mental health stigma, all of which have been impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic.
They support amazing organisations across the UK and around the world.
