For Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale, Janet collaborated closely with Emmy Award-winning and BAFTA-nominated composer John Lunn, music mixer Paul Golding, and BAFTA-winning and Emmy-nominated re-recording mixer Nigel Heath.

This collaboration entailed conforming, editing and denoising the film’s orchestral score, pre-record preparation & scoring session attendance at Air Studios, overseeing music and dub mix preparation, dub mix attendance, managing final deliverables and cue sheets.

Produced by Downton Abbey creator and Academy Award winner Julian Fellowes, Emmy and BAFTA Award-winning Gareth Neame and Emmy Award-winning Liz Trubridge, Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale marks the return of the global phenomenon, directed by BAFTA and Emmy-nominated Simon Curtis.

The story follows the Crawley family and their staff as they enter the 1930s. As the beloved cast of characters navigates how to lead Downton Abbey into the future, they must embrace change and welcome a new chapter.

It's always a joy to work with Janet. In addition to her undeniable technical and editing expertise, she calmly brings her wonderful sense of musicality to the job with good humour and generous team spirit. She is a valuable addition to the edit and mix crew. As such I would have no hesitation in recommending Janet and I'm very much looking forward to hopefully working with her again in the near future.”
