If you're a fan of Downton Abbey, you've been sitting on the edge of your seat, wondering who has died in the great influenza epidemic.
You may have been quite pleased to learn that ITV will be broadcasting a third season of the popular drama. How else would you know who actress Maggie Smith as the Dowager Countess is mourning as the final scene ends?
Due to a slight blunder by ITV yesterday, those who stay on top of such events already know who's not coming back.
By releasing the cast list for the third season, ITV telegraphed the third season's opener in a press release.
Newspapers are not printing the list in the hope that they won't exacerbate the spoilage for those who didn't hear the news. For those of us who don't follow all Downton Abbey events closely, we missed the reveal and we're just as much in the dark about who's gone as we will be after the final episode of season 2 airs on Sunday night.
Keep your ears open. Someone read something, and it will be the talk of the queues and fodder for chatter in offices across the U.K.
Or you can avoid all such talk and just sit on the edge of your seat until Season 3 hits the air. No spoiler in that.
