Someone left a plastic water bottle in this publicity photo for Downton Abbey

*dies of sympathetic embarrassment*

PUBLICITY PHOTOS HAVE just been released for the fifth season of Downton Abbey.

They’re full of the opulence, gentility and old-world period grandeur we’ve come to expect. Except for one thing.

In this photo of Edith and Robert Crawley, someone left a plastic water bottle on the mantlepiece.

Here it is again, in case you missed it first time…

The photo, which was shard on the show’s official Facebook page, has been drawing amused comments from viewers.

Sorry to bother you but I put my water bottle down somewhere, have you seen it?

Imagine the scenes at ITV. Imagine them.
