Cute interview with Noel and Hugh Bonneville! Noel explains why he took the role of Dick Turpin.
Noel: "I immediately said "yes." And then I thought about it afterwards, and thought "Is it because of Adam Ant?" Probably. I love Adam Ant. So I was like "Yeah, absolutely, I'll play that character."

Michelle Dockery and Jasper Waller-Bridge are newlyweds!
The ceremony took place at St Nicholas' church in Chiswick, West London, on Saturday, Sept. 23, with Michelle wearing a stunning dropped waist wedding dress by Emilia Wickstead with a long train and a veil pinned at the back of her wavy hair. [...]
The groom's sister [Phoebe Waller-Bridge] donned a bright pink three-piece suit and elegant hat, with Phoebe's longtime partner, screenwriter and director Martin McDonagh.
Michelle and Jasper's wedding served as a mini Downton Abbey reunion, with cast members Hugh Bonneville, Laura Carmichael [one of the bridesmaids], Lily James, Lesley Nicol, Joanne Froggatt, Jim Carter, Elizabeth McGovern, Imelda Staunton, Allen Leech, [Michael Fox], and likely more there. Julian Fellowes, the creator and producer of Downton Abbey, was also in attendance.
Since the end of the TV show in 2016, there have been two feature films, one released in 2019, while the sequel came out in May 2022.
The Crown's Lesley Manville, former The Good Doctor actress Antonia Thomas, and more famous faces were also at the star-studded wedding. (People)

"Douglas Is Cancelled": Doctor Who's Alex Kingston and Karen Gillan reunite for Steven Moffat series
ITV has commissioned a four-part series about cancel culture, set in the world of television news, with an array of stars helming the cast. The show features Hugh Bonneville as news presenter Douglas, and Karen Gillan as his savvy co-anchor Madeline. Steven Moffat, who wrote and will executive produce show, said, "I just sat down and wrote this - didn't even tell anyone what I was doing. And now it's all happening, thanks to the amazing Sue Vertue (renowned TV producer and, in a rare moment of weakness, my wife). I can't quite believe we've managed to get the mighty Hugh Bonneville involved as Douglas and that we've lured my old friend Karen Gillan back from Hollywood, to play Madeline. And like that's not enough, we've got Ben Miles, Alex Kingston, Nick Mohammed and Simon Russell Beale. It's the kind of cast that makes you terrified about stepping into the room." [X]
