    Aufregung auf Downton Abbey: Der König und die Königin erweisen dem Hause Grantham die Ehre. Es müssen ein royaler Lunch, eine Parade und ein Dinner organisiert werden. Aber wir befinden uns im Jahr 1927 und der Earl of Grantham (Hugh Bonneville) sinnt, ob sie nach all den Veränderungen der letzten Jahre überhaupt noch einem königlichen Besuch gewachsen sind...Als wäre diese Aufgabe nicht schon schwer genug zu bewältigen, muss sich das Personal mit dem furchteinflößenden royalen Haushalt herumärgern, und schon bald keimt eine kleine Revolte im unteren Teil des Hauses auf. Währenddessen quält Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery) die Frage, ob der Erhalt von Downton überhaupt noch zeitgemäß ist. Soll das Familienanwesen vielleicht doch einer bürgerlichen Institution weichen?Auch die Dowager Countess of Grantham (Maggie Smith) sieht dem königlichen Besuch mit gemischten Gefühlen entgegen, gehört ihre Cousine Lady Bagshaw (Imelda Staunton) doch zum royalen Gefolge, und mit dem Aufeinandertreffen reißen auch alte Wunden wieder auf.

    On this archival edition of Fresh Air, playwright and satirist from South Africa Pieter Dirk-Uys, and writer and director Todd Haynes. Dirk-Uys has a television talk show in South Africa that has an unusual twist. Instead of hosting his show as himself, he dresses drag as an Afrikaner dowager named Evita. His guests include such leaders as Nelson Mandela. His show is said to be "a way of making the country's leaders seem more human." And Haynes made his directing debut in 1988 with Superstar. His first feature film, Poison, won the Grand Jury Prize Award at the Sundance Film Festival in 1991. The film was partly funded by the National Endowment for the Arts and created a controversy because of its adult themes. His latest project, Safe, is a modern horror film about environmental pollution. (Original Broadcast Date: June 28, 1995) Language: English. Narrator: Terry Gross.
