The one-off charity special, which will air on ITV tonight (Friday 19 December) sees the 53-year-old actor playing a wedding guest, with Lady Grantham initially mistaking him for her husband.
The official synopsis for the episode reads: ‘It’s Christmas at Downton and Lord Robert Crawley (Hugh Bonneville) seems to be facing financial ruin once again. He’s beginning to wonder if his family may be better off without him but divine intervention in the form of a very special heavenly body gives him a view of what life would really be like without his guiding spirit.’
