Oh, yes. As the nights draw in and we all prepare for the colder months, there is at least one thing that will keep us warm - the return of Downton Abbey! Yes, the show's back and having had a sneaky look at episode one we can confirm that it is just as good - if not better! - than the previous instalments.

We decided we had to chat to some of the stars of the show about the new season, so we headed down to Downton Abbey itself - also known as Highclere Castle - to find out more.

Watch our video below to see what the cast had to say about the effect of World War I, what sneaky Thomas has been up to, and why new maid Ethel has "delusions of grandeur". Oh, and they also tell us why we should be getting excited about the return of the show - as if we needed any more reasons!
