I was thinking the same thing! Especially Rob with the bottles on his fingers: *clinks bottles* "Mr. Baaa-hates. Come out and plaaa-hay." I almost died. 😂😂
I think just evidence of quality humans. To be in one of the most serious period dramas ever created. And completely lose themselves in this fun and silliness shows there lack self seriousness. They take their jobs seriously but not themselves. And yes deffo great actors. X
I love the fact that as he does this between the takes Thomas's costume is always different. That also shows how involved he got in making that. I imagine him shouting "Brendan, time for Downton Wars! "
Lady Mary as Princess Leia. Bates keeps hitting his head with the light saber. From Ealing Studios to Highclere Castle, no expense was spared. The Dowager Countess and Mrs. Crawley finally in agreement, light sabers in hand. Who needs a Downton movie when we have this?
As a Downton Abbey addict, I fully and totally appreciate this. And, as the mother of a daughter who has MS, I am grateful to Rob James-Collier for his effort to raise money for the cause. Well done, "Thomas"! ;)
How did I ever miss this?! Actors are like children. What a delightful bit of silliness to make me smile in the wake of missing Downton which ended here in the u.s. a week ago.
Omg this was amazing, Mary and her suiters, Anna with the emperor, lady violet and lady Crowley with a light saber, my life is complete, plz make another😂
"Oh, I love us!" - "I love us, too!". Me too, I love you both. So, where's a kiss?... Rob must do more stuff like that. It keeps the planet going! It's brilliant! Thank you!
Watching Thomas have so much fun..running around the tree with Mr Bates made me sad n happy at the same time. Sad coz I really wanted him to be happy and find someone but that didn't happen in the series. Happy,coz I know he'll find some joy in the upcoming movie. This shit was hilarious. Well done Rob Coliier and cast
excellent and better than the first!!! :)wish there were more...we need more of this!!!and so nice to see the actors having some fun :)please rob, next time you do something for charity please make another video!!!
I wonder if Lord or Lady Carnarvon ever walked in when Rob & Brendan were battling with lightsabers in the castle and wondered how the hell they ever let these lunatics film in their home. 😀
I love this! Can't believe thus is the 1st I've seen this as a YT suggestion!! Lil late?!?? Thanks to all for helping in raising money for an MS charity. MS has affected my family and your good intentions are much appreciated. Can't wait for Downton Abbey the Movie!!
I am a DIE-HARD Downton Fan... I also enjoy the Spoofs... But by far the BEST ones are the ones done by the Downton Cast themselves! Thank you SO MUCH for these! "What's a gluten? Isn't that a muscle in your buttocks?" 😂😂😂
I found out just last month that a friend of mine has MS so even though I don't live in the UK and am not really a fan of Downton Abbey... I gladly donated :) I was thinking I should donate something to help providing a good life for MS patients just yesterday so.... the timing of this was amazing!
This is my first time watching this, and I can overlook the cameras and other behind the scenes stuff that pops up in the background. I can overlook the crewman that is just hanging out in the kitchen. I can even overlook the fact the lightsabers and Mary with princess Leia buns. But Bates walks with a limp and carries a cane.
Downton Wars ep 2 cast Brendan Coyle: His Lordship's valet/the Phantom Valet John Bates Rob James-Collier: Footman/the Evil Butler Thomas Barrow Joanne Froggatt: Lady's maid Anna Bates Guest starr(in order of appearance): Lesley Nicole: Head cook Mrs.Patmore Sophie McShera: Kitchen maid Daisy Mason Michelle Dockery: Lady Mary Talbot Hugh Bonneville DL: Lord Robert Grantham Jim Carter OBE: Butler Charles Carson Phyllis Logan: Housekeeper Elsie Hughes Special guest: Dame Maggie Smith: Jedi Master Dowager Countess Violet Grantham Dame Penelope Wilton: Jedi Master Lady Isobel Merton
He made the video almost 5 years ago, while the show was still in active production. If he did something while they were filming the movie, he's had close to a year to release it, so unlikely we'll have anymore episodes of Downton Wars.
Also I totally forgot i wasn't watching actual Downtown and when i saw Patmore and Daisy cook I was like WELL THAT LOOKS FAKE and then the lightsabers came in and i remembered
2024 here I'm gonna hit y'all with : I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THISSSSSS. this is the best thing I've seen on the internet and I don't know sh!t about Star wars and its lore 🤣🤣
Maggie Smith with a lightsaber. The internet is now complete.
+TheLeyle It is now my desktop screensaver.
+TheLeyle I'd say it's evidence of GOD :D
YES
TheLeyle i can‘t tell you, how right you are!!!!!!!!😂😂
Indeed so! Next DA movie should be an expansion of these 2 episodes. Just brillant!!😃
This is all canon to the Downton Abbey storyline as far as I'm concerned.
"Mr Baaates, come out to plaaay. Mr. Baaaaaates, come out to plaa-hay. Mr. BaaAAAATES"
+Isabelle Licarião Great throwback to The Warriors.
🤣🤣🤣
But WTF?!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Omigod, just the best thing Evah!!! Do we have Rob to thank for this bit of inspired deviltry?
I'll be honest; That is horror-movie level acting XD
Minerva McGonnagall and Harriet Jones holding lightsabers. One of the nerdiest things to ever happen. I can die happy now.
I came to the comments looking for this and I’m so glad I found it ❤️
This is the weirdest thing I've ever watched and I'm so happy about it
Best Line: "Lady Edith's gone gluten free." "What's a gluten?"
Haha! Love it! :)
I died laughing when that happened omg hahahaha
"is it not a muscle in ya buttock?"
Haha! I love mrs patmore!
Evidence of quality actors! I don't know how they all managed to maintain a straight face throughout all of this!!
I was thinking the same thing! Especially Rob with the bottles on his fingers: *clinks bottles* "Mr. Baaa-hates. Come out and plaaa-hay." I almost died. 😂😂
wish it went for longer
They needed more of these
I think just evidence of quality humans. To be in one of the most serious period dramas ever created. And completely lose themselves in this fun and silliness shows there lack self seriousness. They take their jobs seriously but not themselves. And yes deffo great actors. X
This was fecking brilliant. The random dude behind Mrs. Patmore, eating take out. I lost it.
Ikr 😂
I support him
I love the fact that as he does this between the takes Thomas's costume is always different. That also shows how involved he got in making that. I imagine him shouting "Brendan, time for Downton Wars! "
"Lady Edith has gone gluten free"
😂😂😂😂
"What's a gluten??" 😂
“Is it not a muscle in your buttock?” I laughed so hard I just cried. Still have tears in my eyes. Probably woke up my hubby.
And I loved the guy eating take away in the background 😆
Edith would be the one to go gluten free
I literally spat my drink all over my laptop when Thomas walked in on Carson and Mrs Hughes. This video is perfect and i love everything about it
That was one of the best parts! 😂😂😂
That is my favorite part. Finally Chelsie getting some action 😆
Oh look at me I can open a door with the wave of my hand but when it comes to undoing a corset. I died
Hey that’s me from 3 years ago
😂
Lady Mary as Princess Leia. Bates keeps hitting his head with the light saber. From Ealing Studios to Highclere Castle, no expense was spared. The Dowager Countess and Mrs. Crawley finally in agreement, light sabers in hand. Who needs a Downton movie when we have this?
"I could learn to love Henry...he was good in The Good Wife." 🤣🤣🤣🤣
this bit killed me
Omfg i never thought id see maggie smith with a lightsaber but that was one of the most badass things ever
Oh Yes
Is it just me, or does she resemble Yoda?
I'm positive this is the greatest crossover ever.
wish there were more lightsaber fighting from downton abbey
The ratings would be so astronomical, it would crash the meter 😂
As a Downton Abbey addict, I fully and totally appreciate this. And, as the mother of a daughter who has MS, I am grateful to Rob James-Collier for his effort to raise money for the cause. Well done, "Thomas"! ;)
I need a whole season of this
Also Thomas after walking in on Carson and Mrs Hughes "Awkward"
Brendan Coyle and Rob James Collier should have their own sitcom!! I was laughing so much at this! COMEDY GOLD
Never seen Anna actually not being a happy teddy bear that makes everyone happy
Honestly! I knew there was something fishy about her in this from the start 😂
When there is a Sith Lord, there is an apprentice, Darth Anna.
7:56 - 8:32: Lady Mary impersonating Princess Leia is so awesome :-). And she does that in the Series 6 finale as well.
How?
Lol, "Dowagership" Hilarious. Love the cameos done by the cast!
Mr Baaates, come out to plaaaay...
This is the weirdest, most wonderful thing ever. I can't believe it actually exists.
How can THIRTEEN people not think this is funny?! I was laughing from Bates'' first 'Are you talking to meeee?'' and 'What's a gluten?' Hahaha :D
"I can open a door with a wave of my hand, but when it comes to undoing a corset." Oh my God.
“Don’t try your Jedi mind tricks on me!” This had me laughing out loud at work!!! Thank you!!!
We need to contact Rob and ask him to do another one!!
Secretly hoping Dame Maggie had a wand in her metaphorical back pocket just in case that sword thing didn't work
😉😉
Agreed. Would be good to see her in her other famous role-Professor McGonagall!😀
It's called a lightsaber you gritty Slytherin how dare you sir I shant allow this!!!
LOL... Lady Mary and her suitors.
+canuck21 HAHA I know.
+canuck21 I had to laugh at her saying: "He was good for the Good wife..." (or at least thats what I heard :D)
she forgot sir Richard Carlisle!
+canuck21 And her Princess Leia hair!!
He wasn't worth remembering. XD
Bates singing Bohemian Rhapsody though XD
Wait when?
+The Biz at 14:44 he goes "MAMAAA" 😂 and then Anna walks in
Ok i will never be able to take Downton Abbey seriously again but this was hilarious and i love love loved it so very much
same
Daisy and Mrs Patmore just carry on as normal!😀
I was hoping that Anna would be a Sith, and I was not disappointed!
How did I ever miss this?! Actors are like children. What a delightful bit of silliness to make me smile in the wake of missing Downton which ended here in the u.s. a week ago.
Carson and Mrs Hughes , about bloody time :)
Fcutdlady damn straight!
"What on turf?"
Written by Robert James-Collier
"Ah, okay, now it makes sense."
"Henry was good in the good wife" in BAWLING 😂😂😂
I don't care what you say this is a real part of downton
I wish I had mild amnesia so I could rematch downton again
Love how so many actors got in on it!! Super Cool that Lord and Lady Carnarvon were game, too!!
Mr. Baaaahaaates , come out to plaaaahhaaay....creepiest thing I've ever seen😂😂
It's taken from the 1979 cult classic "The Warriors"
www.imdb.com/title/tt0080120/
This makes the end of downton a little more bearable
I know there's a movie coming in a few months and I'll feel awful as hell when I finish watching it. Downton Abbey shud never end.
"He was good in the Good Wife" I can't stop laughing
Omg this was amazing, Mary and her suiters, Anna with the emperor, lady violet and lady Crowley with a light saber, my life is complete, plz make another😂
Lord Grantham "is anything the matter, Bates."Bates and Thomas "No, nothing to see here."
"Oh, I love us!" - "I love us, too!". Me too, I love you both. So, where's a kiss?... Rob must do more stuff like that. It keeps the planet going! It's brilliant! Thank you!
The most enjoyable Sunday morning I have ever had. I shall miss my Downtown family so very much.
“yes it’s me mr. pineapple”
i like how thomas still wears the thing on his hand 😂😂
A lot of this seems to be filmed between takes of the show, so it was probably just easier for him to leave it on.
Lady Edith gone gluten free... LOL I can't~
IKR I DIED
This is the greatest crossover of all time and nothing will prove me otherwise!!!!!!!!!!!
This is why actors are not supposed to produce or direct LOL, I LOVE ROB!
This was so funny. I can't believe my two favourite fandoms came together in this way.
Poor, poor "Clueless as Usual" Lord Grantham 😄😄-----by the way, that's going to be some STRONG cocoa Mr Bates is making, at the end 😄😄
They are such a fun bunch, love them all!
And thanks a lot, that's just how I always wanted to see Mr. and Mrs. Carson-- all fluffly and in love!
rob, you must be the new James Bond!
This is actually the best thing ever.
What's a gluten? LOL
+Perma Frost Almost right! :D I've never thought that anatomy and cooking would be together in one reference >
Watching Thomas have so much fun..running around the tree with Mr Bates made me sad n happy at the same time. Sad coz I really wanted him to be happy and find someone but that didn't happen in the series. Happy,coz I know he'll find some joy in the upcoming movie.
This shit was hilarious. Well done Rob Coliier and cast
“ Don’t use that Jedi mind trick on me Mr. Bates! 😂😂😂
I almost choked on my tea. Thank you!
Lady Mary as Princess Leia: MY LIFE IS COMPLETE
Same
was expecting Anna to be also wearing the cape when she appeared at the end.
excellent and better than the first!!! :)wish there were more...we need more of this!!!and so nice to see the actors having some fun :)please rob, next time you do something for charity please make another video!!!
I like Robert asking "Bates is everything all right?"
Lol at random guy eating takeout 3:50
Thanks for watching! :)
I love b*tchy Anna. I wish she appeared on the show more often. XD
This was definately worth the wait. What a crossover! Great job!
This is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. Rob is so great with whatever he does. Love it!
I. Can't. Believe. I. Never. Saw. This.
I wonder if Lord or Lady Carnarvon ever walked in when Rob & Brendan were battling with lightsabers in the castle and wondered how the hell they ever let these lunatics film in their home. 😀
This is possibly the most entertaining thing I have ever seen in my entire life.
I love this! Can't believe thus is the 1st I've seen this as a YT suggestion!! Lil late?!?? Thanks to all for helping in raising money for an MS charity. MS has affected my family and your good intentions are much appreciated. Can't wait for Downton Abbey the Movie!!
I am a DIE-HARD Downton Fan... I also enjoy the Spoofs... But by far the BEST ones are the ones done by the Downton Cast themselves! Thank you SO MUCH for these! "What's a gluten? Isn't that a muscle in your buttocks?" 😂😂😂
Omg I love this !! So so worth the wait! Thank you Rob :D
This was brilliant
i don't even watch Downton but i can appreciate how brilliant this is!!
Quality acting....can't just leave it at that.
I think I'm not alone in saying, "I need more."
“Yup nothing to see here.” *Suspiciously hides lightsaber*
This is hysterical! Absolutely loved it!
This truly is epic....and the cape is cool.❤
When Mr Bates hits himself in the face with his own light saber!!!! 🤣
this is now officially the video i will come back to when i'm feeling down
MCU: The most ambitious crossover ever
Downton Abbey: Hold my tea
(Also I need a sequel to continue Anna's path to being a Sith Lord)
Zi love how Mr. Bates keeps whacking himself in the head, lol.
I found out just last month that a friend of mine has MS so even though I don't live in the UK and am not really a fan of Downton Abbey... I gladly donated :) I was thinking I should donate something to help providing a good life for MS patients just yesterday so.... the timing of this was amazing!
They had way too much fun doing this 😆 Miss them!!
This is honestly the best thing I've ever seen.
This is my first time watching this, and I can overlook the cameras and other behind the scenes stuff that pops up in the background. I can overlook the crewman that is just hanging out in the kitchen. I can even overlook the fact the lightsabers and Mary with princess Leia buns. But Bates walks with a limp and carries a cane.
Maggie Smith and Penelope Wilton. With fucking lightsabers. What a time to be alive hahaha
This is the best thing that has ever happened
Are you sure no pineapples were hurt making this film.... good to see you all having a bit of fun....
