2 hour episode will air Christmas Day on ITV
and in February on PBS
and in February on PBS
From newly released Press Pack:Hugh Bonneville got to dance with Phyllis Logan at the Servant’s Ball and recounts with much hilarity the dance lessons, “Myself and Phyllis took to it like a duck to water, and in fact we had an off screen dancing competition and it was clear from the outset we would win Strictly Come Downton.” But did he tread on any toes? “Well I think toes are overrated and indeed Phyllis is now out of intensive care and is looking forward to a fully fit 2012.” But the couple he did enjoy watching were Rob James-Collier and Maggie Smith. “They were a sight to behold, it was a joy - poetry in motion.”
Disappointing news for some fans, Lady Sybil and Branson will not be seen in the Christmas special as Jessica Brown Findlay and Allen Leech are not listed in the cast list.
Thank you for your post on Downton Abbey! I am looking forward to watching Rob James-Collier and Maggie Smith -- they are, as you say, a joy to watch, but will have to wait until the second season begins here in America -- early 2012!
