Downton Abbey fans will be pleased to learn that this year's Christmas special, to be screened by ITV at 9pm on Christmas Day, will be a feature-length two-hour affair.
Those hoping for carols around the Downton piano will be disappointed though. In contrast to last year's snow-flake filled special, this year's Christmas episode will see the Downton clan heading to the Highlands of Scotland for their summer holiday. And the Crawleys - along with Bates, Anna, Molesley and O'Brien - will be swapping Downton for the even grander Duneagle Castle.
Their annual trip to Scotland is apparently the highlight of Robert's year - so we can expect him to be in higher spirits than he was in series three. But there is sure to be drama as Duneagle Castle is home to feisty Lady Rose (remember the flapper dress-wearing, jazz dancing cousin who appeared in the last episode of series three. You know, the one who briefly had an affair with a married man before being sent away in disgrace.)
Romance might be on the cards, too. The episode will see Lady Edith bump into her newspaper editor Michael Gregson... who just happens to be holidaying nearby - and this will cause conflict between Matthew and Mary who disagree about the married journalist's motives.
