'Downton Abbey' male stars 'left flopping around by underpants' Published Monday, Aug 27 2012, 5:38am EDT | By Tom Eames (DIGITAL SPY)


Downton Abbey male stars have joked that their period underpants were difficult to wear.

They were reportedly banned from wearing modern underwear during a filmed cricket match in case they showed through on screen.


Stars including Dan Stevens and Hugh Bonneville struggled to remain focused during filming while wearing the baggy garments, leading to several rude jokes.

David Robb - who plays Dr Clarkson on the period drama - told The Sun: "The bosses reckoned viewers might be able to see our Calvin Kleins, so we had to wear these big pants.

"But they don't really contain a chap - you just flop and dangle around all over the place - and the boys' jokes were flying, as you can imagine.

"I don't think the viewers will really be able to see anything but I'm not sure."
