Ah, yes now that is him. He would make a gorgeous stablehand/gardener for us ladies on a Sunday evening.

yeh he's lovely, is he still a bit unpredictable though?! would you hire him?

And it would be another Irish one. He could be pickle's brother, hmmmm. I don't think J R-M us a great actor but who cares?

Ken, we are just fantasising at tea time!

the new footman Jimmy is quite tasty, but i like them dark so doesn't do that much for me unlike Thomas

yyy to a bit of rustling in the bushes....

Am I the only one who thinks that the new footman is quite similar to the one Fausy married on his deathbed? Although he was more ventriloquist dummy like

Daisy ffs, stoopid phone again

"Fausy"? Daisy? They both have that chunky square head thing but New Footman is much more a pretty boy than the deaded one.

Nope Davros - I mentioned up thread I keep thinking its him back from the dead.

Alfred looks like William, you mean? It is years since him though and she didn't fancy him in the first place.

Alfred has more sex appeal in his little finger than William had altogether IMHO no wonder everyone fancies him

On the Guardian website it says Fellowes has hinted that his thoughts are already turning to a Downton Abbey prequel about the courtship of Lord and Lady Grantham.

There are other possible spoilers but I won't mention them.

OOH goody sqoosh

Off tangent a little but I watched Gosford Park today.

Such a good film and much more realistic than DA.

I would so love Clive Owen at Downton.

Oh yy about Gosford Park. Lots the same - I liked the bit about using the employer's name for a visiting maid/valet, also the marmalade.

Squeeee about the prequel, although that does suggest JF is running out of steam for DA proper.

I need the other spoilers.

www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-radio/tvandradioblog/2012/oct/19/have-you-been-watching-downton-abbey

More hints than actual spoilers.

hmmmm, i hope JF stays focused on Downton Abbey and not Knots Abbey

Well if he´d really thought about it-why not do that first?

Would it really be of interest now?

yeah cos there'd be no will they won't they....

I think DA has turned into such a financial golden goose that they'll be reluctant not to draw it out for another couple of years in some form or another, and if JF is running out of ideas for the current set up it will make things much easier for him if they can do a new series and set it in the late Victorian era with a whole heap of new characters.

New actors cheaper too. Interesting to see how they cast younger versions of characters we already know.

but they HAVE commissioned series four and five so those will happen I guess.
