“Brendan Coyle [who plays Bates, the jailed valet, in Downton] and I were wandering round a market in Hollywood and we had a few people coming up to us and asking for autographs,” say Bonneville. “But this one woman walked up to us, uttered a sort of stammering \’hello’ and suddenly started struggling breath, gasping and going red. It took us a full hour to calm her down and make sure she was okay.”
