Clooney Brightens “Downton”
The special festive fundraising mini-episode of “Downton Abbey” which was screened on UK TV this weekend has finally been posted online. The much-trailed special features an appearance by George Clooney, who overwhelms the ladies of “Downton Abbey” – most notably Maggie Smith – with his charms. Because this was for charity, I’m going to be happy. But I don’t approve of American visitors — Shirley Maclaine et al — barging in to the abbey.
