-Fans are so excited about
the "Downton Abbey" movie.
I -- I'm so excited about it
I mean, I'm freaking out.
Can you set it up?
What's happening in the movi
that we don't know?
Where does it start?
-So, it starts about 18 months
on from where we left off.
-I miss your voice.
I love hearing your voice.
-Oh, thank you.
-Yes.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-[ Laughs ]
-I'm a big fan.
-I feel like I'd really
turn into Mary
when I talk about "Downton."
We pick up
about 18 months later,
and everything's very settled.
And then, a letter arrives
from the King and Queen.
And they're
coming to Downton to visit
And, of course, everything -
You know, the whole house
ends up in complete chaos.
-Oh, that's fantastic.
Yeah.
-And at this, you know,
huge occasion
that's about to happen
at Downton.
-I cannot wait to see it.
People are saying they wan
to bring gangs of friends
to go see this.
It's almost like
a "Sex and the City" thing
They're like, "No,
these are my 'Downton' friends
We're all going to see
this movie together."
[ Laughter ]
And it's like a big thing.
-People are gonna dress up
-Yeah.
No, it's a giant deal here
in America.
Does that surprise you at all,
or from the show you understood?
-No. I mean, I'm often surprised
by London cab drivers...
[ Laughter ]
...who tend to be --
you know, often tend to be these
kind of, like,
big sort of gangster types
-Yeah.
-And this one time,
I got into the back of the cab
and I said, you know,
where I was going.
And you know, we said hell
and everything.
And then,
there was a bit of a pause
and he was like, "Shame abou
your sister in season three.
[ Laughter ]
-It is always surprise --
It's the best to hear that
right?
-Yeah.
[ Laughter ]
-How about celebrities?
Any celebrities that you'r
like, "Wow, that's pretty cool
They're a fan?"
-I mean, so many.
I mean, this -- this one time,
Laura Carmichael and I,
who plays Edith,
were at the Met Ball,
and Mick Jagger just started
walking towards us
at this after party
and put his hand out and said,
"'Ello, I'm Mick."
And we were like, "We know."
[ Laughter ]
And he said
how much he loved the show
and we just couldn't believe it.
I was completely floored.
And Hugh is friends with some of
them, including Mick, I think,
and apparently they --
when they were rehearsing
their big London gig,
when the show was on,
they would have to stop
at a certain time
so that they could get home to
watch "Downton Abbey" at 9:00.
-No way!
[ Applause ]
I love hearing those.
That's great.
-Yeah, so, rock 'n' roll.
-And Kate Middleton, as well
I heard Kate came to the set
-She did, yeah, yeah.
The day the Princess
came to set.
It was -- It was amazing.
-That must be
nerve-racking, huh?
-It was.
And Joanne Froggatt and I,
who plays Anna, would --
were rehearsing a scene.
And at that moment,
she came on set,
and she was, you know,
our audience.
And, yeah, so it felt like -
you know, this is probably
what it felt like
for a court jester
back in the day,
performing for the royals.
-Exactly.
-So we were quite nervous.
But she was just, you know
of course,
so charming and gracious
and beautiful.
And it was --
Yeah, she was mesmerizing,
and it was
such a special day for everyone.
-There's a lot of words
on the show that
I don't really know
the meaning of.
I have to google them.
But...
-Yes.
[ Laughter ]
-They're -- They're words
that aren't used anymore.
And I was just wondering -
You brought a list of some
-I did, actually.
I brought a list for Jimmy
just to test him on his...
-To test me.
Yes.
You'll say the word,
and I'll see if I know
what these words mean.
-Okay.
-What this word means.
-Okay.
-This is in 1920s
they would say words like this
-Yes, yes.
So the first one
is "hobbledehoy."
[ Laughter ]
-Oh, hobbledehoy.
-Hobbledehoy.
-Well, the way you said it -
kind of said it like,
"hobbledehoy," like,
"Oh, you're so proper."
-No, actually,
it's the complete opposite
[ Laughter ]
It means -- it means --
I fooled you. It actually mean
clumsy or awkward.
-Oh, really?
-Yeah.
-So I'm very hobbledehoy.
-Yes.
-Yeah, all right.
I love it.
I'll get one right.
I'll get one.
-Okay, next one is "squiffy.
[ Light laughter ]
Squiffy.
-"I was all squiffy."
[ Laughter ]
-Bit -- Bit squiffy.
You're a bit squiffy.
-Squiffy.
[ Laughter ]
-Last -- Okay, last night,
at the "Downton" premiere,
at the party,
we were all a bit squiffy.
[ Audience "Ohs" ]
[ Laughter ]
-You were a bit --
-We were all a bit squiffy
-Foggy. A bit, like,
having a little buzz.
A little buzzed?
-Anyway, yeah.
Close, you're getting close.
-A little -- A little drunk?
-Yes.
-Really?
-Yes.
-Squiffy.
-Squiffy.
[ Applause ]
-I love that.
Should be the name of a pub.
It should be called Squiffy.
I love squiffy.
It's great.
-Okay, next is --
-I was gonna say
it was one of the Teletubbies.
I had no idea.
[ Laughter ]
-Last one?
-Last one. Here we go.
-Cock-a-hoop.
-Say it again?
-Cock-a-hoop.
-"Cock-a-hoop."
-Cock-a-hoop.
-"Is it cock-a-hoop?"
[ Laughter ]
So, it's -- it's --
-Cock-a-hoop.
-Yeah, yeah.
I just -- enjoyment, excitement.
-Yes, yes.
Exuberant elation.
-Yes! I got that one!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Cock-a-hoop!
I feel this cock-a-hoop
for the new "Downton Abbey."
And I want to show a clip
from the movie.
