The advertisement for the new 5th season Downton Abbey series shows two of the guys standing with cool looking sxs's. I've enlarged the picture but cannot identify the guns. One anyway appears to have the older style 'mutton-chop' side-plates, maybe a Scott. Can you tell what the guns are?...Geo http://www.cnn.com/2015/01/04/showbiz/feat-downton-abbey-premiere/index.html

George, I have seen all those episodes. One is devoted to a day afield. When I have a moment I'll try to look at the episode and have a better look.

They have done pretty well on guns in "Downton Abbey". Both of those guns have an indication of a side lock's lock plate. Of course they could be side plates, or even Grullas.
The Midsommers Murders has not done well on guns (blue collar sidelocks).
There's an older "My Family and Other Animals" where the to brothers hunt with British box locks, as would have been likely.

The guy in the middle has a gun with an Anson release - you can see the pushbutton exposed at the very tip of the forend.
Typically seen on Purdey and Boss guns I'm sure there are a lot more.

The Christmas episode of Downton had a driven hunt scene in which the earl was shooting a SLE (type unknown) and the son in law was shooting a pair of BLE's
