An Uncle the Way of Downton Goes

It would appear the fourth season finale of PBS’s Downton Abbey is gonna feature more of Lady Cora’s (Elizabeth McGovern) family.

On top of returning-guester Shirley MacLaine – who plays her mother, right? – the show has recruited Paul Giamatti to play Cora’s brother, a maverick of sorts who is also very much quite the playboy.

A hosting tip for the the awesome Dowager Countess (Maggie Smith): No Merlot.

Tee hee.
