If you're missing Downton Abbey, Julian Fellowes has something to ease your longings for all things British.

Amazon Prime is offering subscribers “Doctor Thorne” based on an 1858 novel by Anthony Trollope, the third in his Barchester series.

Trollope remains largely unknown in America, which Mr. Fellowes notes regretfully.

But “Doctor Thorne” will feel familiar to fans of Trollope’s more famous near-contemporary, Jane Austen. It’s about a smart, unmarriageable young woman and the various scenarios that could eventually render her marriageable.

Note to friends of Dolly:
Next to Dickens, Trollope is my favorite author; it's from his novels that Burgo and I got our "screen names".
