The cast is pretty active with philanthropic events.

I'll be posting these under the spoiler tags but everything else should be discussed on the Spoiler board.

Downton Abbey series 5: There won't be any major deaths

Thanks for the links Lindsay, needless to say 'keeping mum' about the spoilers.

Good news about no major character's demise, even if I wouldn't miss Thomas if he was bumped off.

Yes it's definitely nice to hear there won't be any major deaths! Why did they have to use that picture of Matthew dead under his car for the article? I still hate seeing it!

Aww, bless, sending a hug your way, it was a shocking, horrible end to the series.

I guess because that image is "better" than the Sybil one which was much horrible?

I'm tempted to check the Spoiler thread, believe me.

Great to get a little teaser for S.5, cheers Lindsay, wish we didn't have to wait so long to see it.
Wonder if we'll be getting more teasers, looking out for them on ITV.

[L i N d $ @ y]

I'm sure they will. They usually release a longer one weeks closer to the premiere date.

This should be taken with a grain of salt...

“I’d been told — you know, where will you be in case anyone wants to ring? — but I’d forgotten. And now I’m really overwhelmed and absolutely delighted,” he said. “If you asked me two years ago, if I’d still be a contender now, I’d say definitely not. It seems they’ve treated us very generously.” “I’m particularly pleased for Jo [Froggatt] because she played the [rape] victim so brilliantly,” Fellowes says. “It was an extraordinary performance, so layered. And for Paul Giamatti — he came all the way over from America. He was so good in the role.” Since its 2010 debut on ITV in the U.K. and 2011 debut on PBS in the U.S., Downton Abbey has resonated in both counties — though Fellowes says to different effects. “The U.K. audience is very rewarding, and I’m mad about anyone who wants to watch the series,” he says. “But I just feel there’s sort of a fervor in America that is sort of un-British; it’s good, and it gives us energy.” Still, there’s a universality to the show, which Fellowes chalks up to a perception and curiosity about the period of the early 20th century, against which it is set. “It was a simpler back then — a clearer time to live,” Fellowes says. “Not more just, God knows, but somehow clearer. And most of the characters are nice people — even the nasty ones have some nice elements to them. I think we’ve had so many TV and films about horrible people doing terrible things to one another, so in a way, it’s kind of relaxing to watch relatively decent people on TV.” Fellowes doesn’t have grand plans for the day but to get back to the writing, he says. But he will take at least a little time toast the show’s success. “I’ve got a bit of a deadline, but then I think I’ll go out and raise a glass,” he says. “I really am pleased. These things give such a lift to the whole company. And that’s a lovely feeling.”

That's great news about the 12 nominations, thanks Lindsay, needless to say I'd love Michelle and Joanne to win, it seems like there's a lot of strong competition out there though, but at least we'll get to see the girls in some gorgeous frocks, regardless of them winning anything, keeping my fingers crossed for everyone nominated.
