How many more days until the Season 4 premiere? Only 18 according to the official countdown from Masterpiece. Until then, the closest thing we can offer to the drama of Downton is, well… Mr. Stink.
This Sunday on WPT, the Earl of Grantham, Hugh Bonneville, takes on quite a different role in the heart-warming Christmas film based on the book by British comedian David Walliams.
In this show for the entire family, Bonneville plays a tramp who stinks. The BBC’s program page makes sure you’re aware of the fact. “Mr. Stink stank. He also stunk. He was the stinkiest stinker who ever lived.”
But none of that matters to Chloe, a school girl who befriends Mr. Stink and uncovers his unlikely past. Enjoy the preview below, and watch 7 p.m. Sunday night to see Downton’s leading man in a role that’s surely unfamiliar to Downton fans.
