Downton Abbey fans can look forward to a dramatic Christmas special, one of the show's stars revealed yesterday.
Brendan Coyle, who plays Bates, the valet, hinted the episode will end on a cliffhanger, with viewers not knowing who lives and who dies - suggesting this series will not be the last.
He said: 'There are three shocking twists in store that no-one could have imagined - including us.
'Wait until you see the Christmas special. You're not going to know who lives or dies - literally.'
It comes just a week after Michelle Dockery, who plays Lady Mary, teased viewers of the ITV1 drama by saying 'there's a wedding, a funeral and a sex scene and I'm in one of those'.
Asked if the 'will they, won't they' romance between Bates and maid Anna will have a happy ending, Coyle, 47, replied: 'I can't tell you that, but I will say Anna's a very determined woman and isn't prepared to give up Bates.
'There's a spectacular conclusion on its way, so hang on to your hats, folks, you're in for a bumpy ride.'
Let the speculation begin!
