Plans to turn 'Downton Abbey' into musical have recently been unveiled, with stars and creators of the show reportedly poised to bank millions from a global tour.

Series composer John Lunn revealed that he and the show creator Julian Fellowes are in discussions to finalising a touring event that would feature the show's music and cast, the Independent reported.
