Last week, the official Downton Abbey page announced that Ed Speelers (Jimmy Kent) and Joanne Froggatt (Anna Bates) would be doing an interview at the Apple Store in Regent Street. I knew it was going to be popular so I immediately reserved my place.
I arrived at 7pm and there were no seats left but I had a good spot in the standing area thanks to someone being kind enough to give me theirs so I could see well without me asking. It was being recorded for a podcast which will hopefully be on the iTunes Store later this week so be sure to keep an eye out if you're interested!
Before Joanna and Ed walked on the stage, we were shown the trailer of the current series of the show. The first thing that was spoken about of course was Anna's scenes in the last episode. Joanna said that she had researched it and was concerned about getting it right which I think she spent ten minutes talking about the preparations for it and filming it.
We were shown two clips from the next episode. I won't spoil anything but I will say that I'm looking forward to seeing how the scene with Jimmy turns out.
After a while, there were some questions from the audience. I wanted to ask one but I got so nervous I didn't. All the questions were extremely interesting with equally interesting answers.
The interview ended after 45 minutes and I headed straight home overjoyed that I was able to attend. I have a love/hate relationship with London but something I love about it is being able to attend a lot of events with ease.
Ed Speelers yum yum!
