> I wonder if there’s any chance the Duke & Duchess of York (QEII’s parents) will show up at one of the Granthams’ parties? The timing is just about right for the newlyweds to show up toward the end of the series. This series is also taking place Egyptology became the hip new fad, given Highclere’s connections to Lord Carnarvon and Tutankhamun they’re just got to work that in somehow.

Another _Downton Abbey Revisited_ special airs tonight on PBS (repeated on Aug. 11 and 14; check your local listings), again hosted by the annoyingly effervescent (to me) Angela Lansbury. The new season begins Jan. 5.

It was listed as a new show, but we still have it on our DVR and haven’t watched it yet.

Here’s the S4 trailer: [http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20730686,00.html](http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20730686,00.html)
