00:00I don't want to force your hand, and Thomas says, and I don't want to twist your arm, and then they kiss.

00:20Hi, I'm Alan Leach, and if I had a dollar for every time I heard this statement, I'm the biggest Downton Abbey fan.

00:28I'd be a very rich man. Well, I've been brought here today because apparently I'm going to meet the biggest Downton Abbey fan.

00:36So let's go meet him.

00:43Let's see who is the biggest Downton Abbey.

00:50Lord Alan, I presume. Greetings.

00:54Josh Groben or Abraham Lincoln. I don't know who it is.

00:56No, no, no. I've got the mustache, too. Come on in.

00:58How are you, m'lord? We bow. We bow. M'lord.

01:00M'lord. Well, m'lord.

01:02Very deep bow. Thank you very much.

01:04You're fantastic. I stretched before this because I didn't know how low a bow would be appropriate.

01:09I feel so underdressed. I feel terrible.

01:10That's okay. No, this is wonderful.

01:12I'm sorry.

01:12I am a huge fan. I am a huge fan.

01:16I'm going to test it.

01:16Yes, yes. And this cane, there's a hidden flask in it full of whiskey.

01:20Oh, so it is Maggie's.

01:21Yes, it is Maggie's. That's right.

01:22Yes, yeah.

01:24Shall we?

01:25Shall we?

01:26Let's see how good you are. Round one.

01:28True or false?

01:30Oh, start easy.

01:31Downton Abbey is located in Yorkshire County. True or false?

01:36That's true.

01:37That is true.

01:37Yes, yes.

01:38He's off to a flying start.

01:39Ah, and I love their pudding.

01:41Lord Grantham names his dogs after figures from Greek mythology.

01:47That's false. It's Egyptian pharaohs.

01:50Oh, he's good.

01:52That's all.

01:53Prior to moving to Downton, Matthew Crawley was a foreign diplomat.

01:57Wrong. False. Lawyer.

01:59He's correct.

02:01Mr. Moseley leaves Downton to become an innkeeper.

02:05False.

02:06He leaves to become a teacher.

02:08This is very good.

02:09Did I do it right?

02:10This is very good.

02:10Lord Grantham loses the family fortune with a bad investment in a Canadian railroad company.

02:17I see this is troubling you.

02:19I know.

02:20I don't know the answer specifically, so now I have to think about the...

02:23Would he?

02:25I'm going to say...

02:26I'm going to have to rush you.

02:27I've done a lot of falses in a row, so I'm going to have to say true.

02:30Damn you!

02:31Did I get it right?

02:32Yes, you did.

02:34Rose's father, Lord Flincher's nickname that even the king uses, is Shrimpy.

02:40Yeah, that's true. I can't forget that.

02:41It is true.

02:42Yeah, Shrimpy.

02:43Matthew Crawley dies tragically just before meeting his newborn son.

02:46No!

02:47Oh, spoiler alert.

02:48God damn it!

02:50I'm kidding.

02:51So Matthew Crawley dies tragically just before meeting his newborn son.

02:54True.

02:54Coraxon.

02:55False!

02:55What?

02:56Really?

02:56Just before.

02:57No, it's just after he meets his son.

02:58Oh!

02:59Wow!

03:01Well...

03:01But you know how, like, it literally was the last moment in the show.

03:05Yeah, I remember.

03:05They still didn't want him to leave, so they were trying to convince him not to.

03:08Oh, God.

03:09He ruined Christmas that year.

03:10Ruined it.

03:11I couldn't eat.

03:11He literally cancelled Christmas.

03:13Yes.

03:13Tom Branson, my character's daughter, is named after her godmother, Cora.

03:18No.

03:19Named after Sybil.

03:20Correct.

03:20Yeah.

03:21I mean, that's a bit easy.

03:22Yeah, yeah.

03:22Matthew Crawley and Robert Crawley are first cousins.

03:25Second cousins?

03:27God, you're good.

03:28Second cousins once removed.

03:29Yeah, that's what I thought.

03:29Okay, yeah.

03:30That's the only, once removed, you need, because otherwise...

03:32Otherwise...

03:32...Mary and him getting together would be really like...

03:34Yeah, there would be three eyeballs.

03:35How very British.

03:36Yeah, yeah.

03:38You're doing incredibly well.

03:39Well, true or false, we started, we started, we started a little...

03:42Right, we're going to go to...

03:43Now we're going to...

03:44General trivia, or...

03:44Now I have to say actual words.

03:46General knowledge.

03:47I have to string words together now.

03:48Round two.

03:49Okay.

03:49General trivia.

03:50What items does Mrs. Hughes always keep tied to her belt?

03:56Tied to her belt?

03:58Keys?

03:59Yeah.

04:00That's very good, and yes, I'll have to give you most of the point for that.

04:02Okay.

04:02There is one other item that, obviously, a housekeeper would need...

04:06The keys of her enemies!

04:09A pair of small scissors.

04:11A pair of small scissors.

04:11Of course, sure.

04:12And someone has them, and showed Phyllis Logan, who plays Mrs. Hughes, had Mrs. Hughes' keys tattooed on their thigh.

04:18Wow.

04:19See, that person should be sitting here.

04:21No, no, no.

04:21No?

04:22I think that person's in an institution.

04:23In jail.

04:24That person's been arrested, yeah.

04:25Who was Lady Mary engaged to before she married Matthew?

04:29Oh, this is cool.

04:30Oh, my.

04:32Yeah.

04:33We've, we've, we've, we've approached the...

04:35We've reached the limit.

04:36We've reached the limit.

04:37The limit of his knowledge.

04:38Uh, let me just peer into my top hat.

04:40It's a picture of Lady Mary.

04:43Was it someone named William?

04:45It was not.

04:46You're wrong.

04:47It was Sir Richard Carlisle.

04:49Richard Carlisle.

04:50Oh, wonderful.

04:51Played by Ian Glenn.

04:53Ian Glenn from Game of Thrones, right?

05:10Damn, you're good.

05:11Oh.

05:11Part two.

05:12Yes.

05:12How did she die?

05:15Oh, very Romeo and Juliet.

05:16She poisoned herself with rat poison.

05:18Oh, she, oh, she actually did do that.

05:20Yeah, what?

05:21I can't remember.

05:21Well, she, yes, she did.

05:22She ingested poison.

05:23She ingested poison.

05:24They thought that, uh, Master Bates, uh, Mr. Bates, excuse me, um, did this.

05:30And, uh, and, and so he, he went to, went to jail for it, but it turned out that, that

05:35she was just, uh, she did it herself.

05:37She did it.

05:37And, and, and, and as a, as a last ploy of vengeance, tried to pin him on it.

05:41That's correct.

05:42Yeah.

05:42Well, God, you're, yeah.

05:44You know better, more than me.

05:45Whatever happens here today, Alan, we're going to be friends.

05:47I think we will be.

05:48We are going to be friends.

05:49Yeah.

05:49We can't have a high five for shit, but we're going to be friends.

05:51No, yeah, that's true.

05:52It's very true.

05:53What infamous event led Matthew Crawley to become the heir of Downton Abbey Estate?

05:59Well.

06:00First episode opening.

06:00Yeah, well, yeah, first episode opening.

06:02Well, it was the sinking of the Titanic.

06:03It was correct.

06:04Because, because, uh, Mary's, uh, fiance, cousin, fiance, was, was, sank with the Titanic.

06:10That was a shock.

06:11That ruined my Christmas that year.

06:16I binge at Christmas.

06:17Does that mean you're not going to go to the cinema and you're going to wait till Christmas?

06:19I'm going to wait till Christmas, yeah.

06:20Great.

06:21Yeah.

06:21It's really counting on your, uh, your ticket there.

06:23I'll pay for it.

06:24Whose bedroom catches fire in the premiere episode of season five?

06:29Lady Edith.

06:30Correct.

06:31But I got to say, though, uh, uh, Robert Crawley with a hose.

06:35Fabulous.

06:36Yeah.

06:36Fabulous.

06:42You know, it's going to come flying out.

06:43Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

06:45And then, um, instead, because it was obviously 1912, it was like,

06:48Yeah, it was, it was very, it was a...

06:52Two-part question.

06:59Uh...

06:59And it's not Bastard Child.

07:02It's not you, Bastard.

07:03You Bastard Child.

07:04Is it Marigold?

07:06Oh, my God.

07:07You're disgusting.

07:08Is it right?

07:09Yes.

07:10Okay, you have to remove the top half for the next.

07:12Okay.

07:13Who is Marigold's father?

07:17Marigold's father is...

07:22Is it her publisher?

07:24Is it somebody, somebody...

07:33Oh, yes, good.

07:34Michael Gregson, the magazine editor.

07:36Michael Gregson.

07:37Forgettable name.

07:38Wow.

07:38You see, this is hard.

07:39I'm going to have to do this because you got half of it right.

07:41I got half of it right, thank you.

07:42So, you get...

07:43Come on, muscles.

07:44There we are.

07:45You're definitely going to get this one.

07:47I am.

07:47What major announcement news does Lord Grantham receive at the end of season one?

07:53Major announcement?

07:54God, it's because you said I'm definitely going to get this one.

07:57That I definitely am not going to get it.

08:00Where's my hat?

08:01But what does he say?

08:02What does he say at the end of season one?

08:05That leads into season two?

08:07Should be...

08:07You know, that should be a real big fan...

08:09What happens in season two?

08:11Why am I even helping you?

08:12Intrigue, drama, births, deaths.

08:15And main...

08:16And main...

08:17And main...

08:18Massive plot point in season two is...

08:20Oh, the war.

08:21We're going to war.

08:22Oh, fuck.

08:24You literally fell off.

08:25I couldn't believe you didn't get that point.

08:26That was rough.

08:26You know all these already.

08:28I really don't.

08:29No, I would have known that one.

08:30You Raise Me Up was written in what year?

08:34Bertie Pelham inherits what unexpected position?

08:39Missionary with Edith?

08:45I should give it to you just for that.

08:46That was so good.

08:47You should.

08:49What does he inherit?

08:50I mean, does he inherit something...

08:53Money.

08:54Unexpected, no.

08:55Position.

08:55He becomes the seventh Marquis of Hexham.

08:58Oh, of course.

08:59Yeah.

08:59You're doing very well.

09:00You would have to literally get all of these wrong.

09:04The doubt is going to happen.

09:05I mean, and when they start with this.

09:07I had...

09:07It's actually quite hot.

09:08I'll take it off.

09:09Round three.

09:10Quotes.

09:11Quotes.

09:11This is so easy.

09:12Who said, what is a weekend?

09:18What is a weekend?

09:21Was it Violet?

09:22Yes, it was.

09:23Yes, of course.

09:23What is a weekend?

09:25I'm not a romantic, but I even concede that the heart does not exist solely for the purpose

09:30to pump blood.

09:34That also Violet?

09:35Yes.

09:36Oh, yeah.

09:37Should have shuffled these.

09:38Hmm.

09:40Fucking.

09:43No one ever tells you about raising daughters.

09:45You'll think it'll be like little women.

09:47Instead, they're at each other's throats.

09:49That sounds...

09:50That's a very...

09:50That feels like a Robert Crawley thing to say.

09:52No, Lady Grantham.

09:53Lady Grantham.

09:55Brilliant.

09:55I'm not a complete stranger to romance, Mrs. Hughes, if that's what you're implying.

10:01That was Mr. Carson.

10:02It was indeed.

10:04Sympathy butters, no parsnips.

10:07Is that a Patmore?

10:09Yes.

10:09Yeah, the butter gave it away.

10:11Yeah, I know.

10:12Good men.

10:13They're not like buses.

10:14There won't be another one around in ten minutes.

10:17Was that an Edith line?

10:19No.

10:19Anna.

10:20Anna.

10:21It's the gloomy things that need our help.

10:23If everything in the garden is sunny, why meddle?

10:26Now, I'm going to say I would not have guessed this.

10:28Sweet thing to say.

10:31Was that Cora?

10:32No, it was my late wife, Lady Sybil.

10:34Oh, Sybil.

10:34Full of wisdom.

10:35And death.

10:36Yes.

10:37How many lives are you going to wreck just to smother your own misery?

10:41You're a coward, Mary.

10:42Like all bullies, you're a coward.

10:44Is that Edith?

10:46No, it was I.

10:47It was you?

10:47Yep.

10:48Wow.

10:48So one moment that I feel that Tom Branson is really one of the family,

10:51because he's the first time and only time.

10:53He just really stands up.

10:53He stands up to her.

10:54You stand up to her.

10:55If anyone had told me that Mary would hitch up with a mechanic

10:57and Edith would marry one of the greatest men in England,

11:00I'd have knocked them down.

11:02I mean, that could have been.

11:04A lot of people.

11:05A lot of people.

11:06But who was it?

11:06I'm going to say it was the Earl, though.

11:08I'm going to say it was Robert.

11:09Correct.

11:09Yes.

11:10That's very good.

11:11I'm very impressed.

11:12I would have gone with Grant and Lady Grant.

11:14Yeah, yeah.

11:14Oh, what's your called?

11:15Oh, yeah.

11:15Herodic Countess.

11:16That's her name.

11:17Last one.

11:18Very best of luck to you.

11:20You've made me strong, Mr. Mosley.

11:22Your strength has made me strong.

11:25You've made me strong, Mr. Mosley.

11:27Your strength has made me strong.

11:29Is that Mr. Baxter?

11:32Who?

11:32No, never mind.

11:33There is no Mr. Baxter.

11:34There was a Mr. Baxter, but that's not Mr. Baxter.

11:36Well, hang on.

11:37There was a Baxter.

11:38There was a Baxter.

11:39That's right, yes.

11:40It wasn't Baxter, though, is what I'm saying.

11:42It was Miss Baxter.

11:43You've made me strong, Mr. Mosley.

11:46Is that Tom?

11:47No.

11:48It was Miss Baxter.

11:50It was Miss Baxter.

11:50You said Mr. Baxter.

11:51Oh, God.

11:52So it was Baxter.

11:53Well, it was Miss Baxter.

11:54But I got the...

11:54I'm afraid.

11:56No, maybe that was it.

11:58I'm excited.

11:58The name right and the gender wrong.

11:59We're fluid.

12:00Okay.

12:01I'm going to have to just quickly check this.

12:02Yep.

12:05Get my half.

12:05I was born.

12:06Get my half.

12:06Get your half.

12:07You know what?

12:08That might actually be the difference.

12:09Okay.

12:10Oh, boy.

12:11Oh, boy.

12:13No.

12:13Do you take bribery?

12:14You know, you don't have to do it.

12:15You've got it.

12:16Really?

12:16Yeah.

12:16I was very nervous.

12:18You are possibly, if not definitely, the greatest fan of that.

12:22It's been an honor and a pleasure.

12:23No one leaves this show empty-handed.

12:26Firstly, we give you the theme tune.

12:32And then you get your actual prize.

12:35I get a prize.

12:36Oh, my goodness.

12:38I will treasure this.

12:40Like it's a working bell.

12:42And the great thing is, in the modern day...

12:44Lady Edith needs me.

12:45Exactly.

12:46Wow.

12:46We've built it in.

12:47So this does everything.

12:49You can get a maid.

12:50Yes.

12:50A servant.

12:51Yes.

12:51You can get Mrs. Patmore.

12:52They'll all come running.

12:53They'll just know by the difference in the sound.

12:56They'll know.

12:57Congratulations.

12:58You deserve this.

12:59Never been happier in my life.

13:01This is so much better than a Grammy.

13:04Thank you, guys.

13:05Thank you, Alan.

13:06That was a lot of fun.

13:07That was fun.

13:07I feel like my ears are really poppin' in this hat.

13:12By the way, I feel like I'm feeling them do a thing.

13:15I wouldn't use it as your new headshot.

13:18Or an album cover.

13:20Should I tuck them in?

13:20I feel like I should tuck them into the hat.

13:22Again, not a strong look.

13:27Somewhere in the middle.

13:28Even if I had a monocle, I could have let you pass go and collect $200.

13:35Hi, I'm Alan Leach.

13:36And I am Lord Grubbin.
