"Lady Carnarvon's interview begins at 8pmET, 7pmCT, 6pmMT and 5pmPT," Abrams states, "and is so compelling that Lady Carnarvon is the only guest during that hour!

Highclere Castle emerges in Downton Abbey as an imposing castle with a great sense of warmth and charm and, in spite of its size and grandeur, is a place that the viewer of the television series connects with as "homey," according to Abrams, who notes that the British word for homey is "homely!" "We only think we speak the same language," she quips, but is quick to note that Highclere Castle is the kind of place that brides dream of being the venue for their wedding reception. "Amazingly," Abrams notes, "that can be arranged!"
Highclere Castle is located in Newbury, Berkshire, England, about 40 miles from London. Visitors need to book in advance to visit the castle and its Egypt exhibit reflecting the castle's historic connection to the discovery of King Tut's tomb.
