Downton star Elizabeth McGovern on new Greek drama

As chatelaine of Downton, Elizabeth McGovern was one of the best known faces on our TV screens for six years.

In a new production at the National Theatre she plays a very different American wife from Lady Grantham.

"Sunset at the Villa Thalia" is a drama set in Greece during the colonels' coup of the 60s and the political turmoil of the 1970s.

Andrew caught up with Elizabeth between rehearsals at the National and they began by discussing the Downton phenomenon.
