I don’t know why I find this so amusing. I love the show, and think they do a really good job of traversing the time periods (much like Mad Men, actually) in which it’s set. This news isn’t ground-breaking or anything, but I chuckle in anticipation with how the Dowager Countess will react.
Especially if THAT’S his costume.
Further on in the aricle they claim retired opera singer Dame Kiri Te Kanawais also appearing in season 4. An interesting casting choice.
