Downton Abbey star Hugh Bonneville reveals its secrets
Lord Grantham would never be so indiscreet.
However once the cameras stop rolling, actor Hugh Bonneville is more than happy to lift the lid on the behind-the scenes secrets and concerns of Downton Abbey.
From Shirley MacLaine ghost hunting antics,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], to his fears about the rapid time line movement of the plot which could see it end up in the same era as other dramas,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Mr Bonneville is not afraid to share his thoughts on the successes, quirks and failures of the popular period drama which it has emerged was deliberately not shown to the BBC.
The series of revelations were made during an conversation with Hugh Bonneville session that took place at the weekend,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Lord Grantham, played by Mr Bonneville, is forced to marry wealthy heiress Cora Levinson,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], played by Elizabeth McGovern, to ensure the survival of the estate where he was born and bred.
Ghost whisperer: Shirley MacLaine helped manage supernatural goings-on during filming
Although the building and its grounds are legally combined with her fortune,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he continues to manage it and is respected by his family and staff as an honourable, discreet and compassionate man.
Mr Bonneville said Miss MacLaine,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 78,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who was cast as Cora mother Cincinnati millionairess Martha Levinson,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in the ITV costume drama third series didn just bring some Hollywood glamour to Downton she also served another purpose.
The star is a ghost hunter and even helped manage the supernatural goings on during filming.
Mr Bonneville, 49, who is married and has a son,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], said: studies ghosts too and absolutely knew about the ghosts at Highclere Castle where we film and she treated them as if they are friends you know? She is not nutty at all - she understands [the occult].
He hinted that Miss MacLaine may yet return adding was great to have Hollywood glamour with us for a few weeks. Who knows she may be back for the next series?
Downton Abbey is one of ITV best performing dramas with series three attracting more than nine million viewers.
But Mr Bonneville expressed concerns about how long the show can continue the fourth series is set in the 1920s,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which is a decade on from the opening run.
He explained: am sure the money men would like it to go on for ever and ever because it does sell extremely well around the world,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
think the next series is nudging forward and starts six to eight months ahead from the last and I think we will start to bump into other period dramas if we are not careful time wise. I hope Julian quits while he is ahead but he is a wise soul,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
was not taken to the BBC because the creators knew,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as brilliant as the costume dramas are made on the BBC,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that there is a certain way it would be made. ITV grabbed it and said we are with you. They are like Christmas presents as you never know what is going to be in them. I have been to his house in Dorset and each time I have grabbed the Oscar from the mantelpiece and posed for photographers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], pretending it was mine. You have to treat every audition as if you were the only person who can play that part and then walk out and pretend it never happened as nine times out of ten you will not get the role.
