Serving Up Downton Abbey

It’s said that parody is a form of flattery, and as season four of “Downton Abbey” wraps up this week, we offer some spoofs of the beloved BBC series.

There are many online parodies of “Downton Abbey,” including one by Sean “Diddy” Combs, “Downton Diddy,” which is a favorite of writer Julian Fellowes and the actors.

Here & Now also made its own spoof last year. Hear that here.
