Downton Abbey fans are in for a treat with their Christmas special entitled "A Moorland Christmas," said Earl of Grantham actor Hugh Bonneville.
"I think audiences will really enjoy this one,'' he told the South Wales Evening Post. "It has a lovely festive element to it.''
Bonneville resisted revealing too much information, but let on that majority of the scenes were shot at Alnwick Castle, the same place where Harry Potter filmed its exteriors.
However, the Downton Abbey crew got lucky because they actually got to film inside. "I believe it's the first time cameras have been allowed inside. The Duke and Duchess of Northumberland are huge fans, which is why they let us in," he shared.
In "A Moorland Christmas," Rose's father-in-law Lord Sinderby rented Brancaster Castle in Northumberland and invited the Crawleys for a shooting party.
The show guaranteed that the Season 5 Christmas special will have romance, a heart-breaking farewell, and recollection of loved ones lost, and a joyful reunion.
