In regards to Downton, the US is months behind England. We get it in US on PBS. PBS typically shows British TV quality shows on Sundays. Father Brown, and Doc Martin are examples...which are only reruns now. But there are others now like Poirot, and another new one whose name escapes me at the moment. All on PBS.
We also don't get much Canadian TV unless a cable station buys the rights. Right now Murdoch Mysteries (aka The Artful Detective) is being shown here on Ovation channel. The same with Motive...which is a couple of seasons behind here.
Maggie Smith has voiced leaving the show before. So far the next season is the only one planned, as far as I have seen on the Downton forums online.
