Due to budget constraints and staffing issues, the former head butler Carson is brought back, by Lady Mary’s request, for the important royal visit.

“Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice” - (Rated PG-13, 1 hour, 33 minutes) - A musical biography of one of the most successful and versatile female singers of the 20th century -- and one of the most successful recording artists of all time. At the height of unprecedented success, Ronstadt, a restless and adventurous artist, turned away from pop music to explore an astonishing variety of musical styles, from American standards to country to classical operetta before circling back to her family roots with traditional Mexican canciones. Withstanding constant pressure from a risk-averse industry, Linda insisted on following her musical instincts. Today Ronstadt has Parkinson's disease and her magnificent singing voice has been silenced. But rather than letting that voice be lost to history, “Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice” tells Linda's story through her own words and music, and by such professional colleagues as Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, and Aaron Neville, among many others. The film plays at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 13;  Saturday, Sept. 14; Monday, September 16,; Tuesday, Sept. 17; Wednesday, Sept. 18 and Thursday, Sept. 19; Sunday, Sept. 15 at 2 and 7 p.m.

“It captures the life and career of a rock 'n' roll star who never looked back, never apologized, never compromised, virtually never made a wrong move, and made it all seem effortless.” - Owen Gleiberman for Variety.

Upcoming: “Downtown Abbey” - full week run beginning Sept. 20.

Tracy's inspirational dream was opposed on all sides: her male competitors thought an all-women crew would never make it, the chauvinistic yachting press took bets on her failure, and potential sponsors rejected her, fearing they would die at sea and generate bad publicity. But Tracy refused to give up: she remortgaged her home and bought a secondhand boat, putting everything on the line to ensure the team made it to the start line. Final showing Thursday, Sept. 12 at 2 and 7 p.m.
