George Clooney in Downton Abbey sketch, ITV, review: charisma at Christmas
The Telegraph 7 hrs ago By Ed Power

ITV
Laura Carmichael, Michelle Dockery, Jim Carter, Robert James Collier, Kevin Doyle, Phyllis Logan, Lily James, George Clooney and Allen Leech.

With his flawless side-parting and old-school charisma, George Clooney was the perfect special guest as Downton Abbey squeezed into its Christmas corset for Friday night's greatly anticipated Text Santa charity sketch.

The most dapper leading man of the age, there's something reassuringly vintage about Clooney.
The looks, the aura, the hair… all hark back to a more glamorous yesteryear – much as Julian Fellowes's country house drama has beguiled audiences with its uncomplicated portrayal of an idealised past.

Clooney jollying it up on the croquet lawn with Downton's munificent Granthams: here, surely, was a match forged in costume drama heaven.

As it happened, Clooney was on Downton not to give obsequious homage but to contribute a dash of good-humoured mayhem.
In a valentine to the heart-warming Christmas classic It's A Wonderful Life, this delightfully giddy – and strictly for laughs – mini-episode began with Earl Grantham, Robert Crawley (Hugh Bonneville) announcing he had frittered the family fortune and wishing he had never been born.

Whisked away by an angelic Joanna Lumley – she was literally playing an angel – he was promptly presented with a vision of what a Crawley-less Downtown might look like.
As Let It Snow tinkled in the background , we were introduced to Clooney's brasher, spiffier
Lord Grantham 2.0 – "George Oceans Gravity Marquess of Hollywood" – as he tumbled into the swooning embrace of Lady Cora (Elizabeth McGovern).

"What in earth does she see in him?" thundered the incorporeal Crawley. "Seriously, she hasn't let me kissed her like that since... actually, she's never let me kiss her like that."

That was just the start of the good-natured confusion. "Why are my daughters here?" wondered Crawley, glancing at his family assembled on a couch and basking in the glow of the Clooney-Cora snog (still ongoing).
"If I don't exist how can they exist?" Lumley suggested he take his complaint to Julian Fellowes, helpfully seated in the corner.
"I don't think this makes sense," said Crawley, to which Fellowes offered a shrug.
"But if someone eats a grapefruit with the wrong spoon everyone goes bezerk," continued Crawley.
"Yes," deadpanned Fellowes, "but that's cutlery."

When a Hollywood icon is parachuted into a well-loved television property, there's a risk viewers will struggle to suspend disbelief.
Clooney on Downton is, in many ways, no less ridiculous than George Clooney at your office party
or in front of you in the queue at Aldi.
However, the actor made for such a convincing cad not even his California tan – it practically throbbed amid Downton's historically correct fustiness – proved insurmountable.
A world-class charmer, for what little time he was actually on screen he was irresistible.

Soon it was all too much for poor Lord Grantham, so the angel whooshed him back to reality via a clatter over the head.
Awakened, he learned the help had scraped together their savings so that he could repay his debts and remain Earl of Grantham after all.

Christmas was saved – and George Clooney, the champion kisser, just a fading memory.


The Downton sketch was the centrepiece of ITV's three-hour charity broadcast Text Santa, which also featured singer Olly Murs, X Factor winner Ben Haenow, presenters Ant and Dec, the cast of Coronation Street and pop group Little Mix.

He really looks good on that set .

don't know how to post this video but it is very funny.  It's a spoof from Downton Abbey with George Clooney acting in the second part.  Someone sent it to me via Facebook and I hope it can be seen by just clicking the link.  Don't know if others have posted it already, I could not find it.
