The sketch was televised last night on ITV, as part of Text Santa.

The sketch feels very different than a normal Downton episode: The pace is much much quicker and all of the characters act a little differently.

It features Violet (Maggie Smith) rolling onto the floor when George Clooney kisses her hand.

Thomas (Rob James-Collier) leaning in to kiss George, but instead has a curtain closed in front of him.
