THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER – The Crawley family will embark on a holiday to another castle in the upcoming two-hour Christmas special of Downton Abbey, set in the early fall of 1924.

U.K. broadcaster ITV unveiled details of the annual special on Tuesday together with show producer Carnival Films. Among other things, they revealed that in the festive special, Lady Rose’s father-in-law, Lord Sinderby, rents out Brancaster Castle in the U.K. county of Northumberland for grouse shooting season, to which he invites the Crawley family.

Guest star Alun Armstrong (Braveheart) plays the Sinderby family’s butler Stowell, who “has an ax to grind,” according to the update on the special. Meanwhile, “a scandalous secret threatens to undermine the holiday,” the companies said.

Also joining the cast for the Christmas special is BAFTA Award nominee Jane Lapotaire (Blind Justice), who plays the much-talked about Princess Irina, wife of Prince Kuragin.

Back in Downton, where the servants are holding fort, the episode will see Bates attempt to clear the name of Anna, who is facing an uncertain future behind bars.

Shooting for the episode took place at Alnwick Castle, which was used as the location for Brancaster Castle.

I’ve uploaded +20 high quality stills from episode 5.08 of ‘Downton Abbey’.

Take a look behind-the-scenes on Downton Abbey with a new clip exclusive to Digital Spy.

The snippet is taken from the bonus material on the Downton series five Blu-ray and DVD sets, out today (November 17). In the clip, costume designer Anna Mary Scott Robbins talks dressing Lily James as Lady Rose and the character’s “flirty” new look.

The fifth series of Downton Abbey aired on ITV from September to November and a sixth series has already been commissioned. The hit period drama will next return for a Christmas special. Series 5 of Downton Abbey is available now on Blu-ray and DVD, courtesy of Universal Pictures (UK).
