[everyone laughs]
- We're the special people.
- We're the entire cast-
- Everyone, just shut up
- Hi, and welcome to 'Bridgerton'.
[playful music]
- We're the cast of Downton Abbey
and we're going to play Vanity Fair's Quiz Game.
- I'm still slightly confused about the rules of this game.
[everyone laughs]
What is my best quality?
- I mean, there's so many.
- So many.
- I'm supposed to write it down.
- Navigation.
[everyone laughs]
- Just calm down you two.
[everyone laughs]
They're just wetting themselves in the back row.
- Yeah, cycling, I'd say cycling.
- Kindness.
- Kindness!
- Oh, this one I think you'll get.
What's my favorite swear word?
- Fuck.
- Thank you, that's easy.
Can we say that?
- Yeah.

[everyone laughs]

- No, its not Richard E. Grant.
- Is it by any chance Hugh Bonneville?
Hugh Bonneville, how about that?
- And the answer is, Hugh , of course.
- Aww.
- I don't know the answer to this!
Oh, no, I do.
What's my favorite impression that I do of a cast member?
- Of a cast member?
- Can I say my favorite?
Robespierre.
- But I think he's gonna say Julian.
- Right.
Yes, I first did a forum on stage here in,
we were doing a Q&A, because he said,
well, see, he normally goes, Lord Grantham, Mary,
Branson goes "fiddle-dee, fiddle-dee dee"
[everyone laughs]
- [Allen] So, I love that.
- Oh God.
- So I'm not gonna be in the third movie.
[everyone laughs]
And what award did I win in 2005?
- This is for-
- The movie?
- Oh, was it?
Or was it for Down?
Was it for Downton?
- Oh, 2005.
- Oh, so it's a local Irish award?
- The prettiest boy in Dublin.
- Sexiest man in Ireland, which is great.
[everyone cheering]
- That's the only one we care about.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But, yeah.
[everyone laughs]
It was a poor year, let's be honest.
Poor year for choice.
How did I propose to my wife, Jessica?
- On one knee.
- [Hugh] I don't know this.
- On one knee, the old fashioned way.
- In their garden at home.
- It was, I'm not even gonna write that.
I'm just gonna write, Dockers is right.
Yeah, I did it on New Year's Day.
- Aww.
- Yeah, yeah.
And she kept coughing as we watched a movie,
and I thought, I hope she doesn't do that during my speech.
[everyone laughs]
Oh, sorry, my proposal.
Yeah.
Thank you, that's it now.
[playful music]
- What's my favorite Maggie Smith line?
- "What is a weekend?"
- "I'd rather drink ink".
- "I'd rather drink ink" or it could be from the new one,
"I'd rather earn my living down a mine".
"I'd rather drink ink" is quite-
- Let's go for that.
- "I'd rather drink ink".
- I've gone with, "Edith, you're a lady
not Toad of Toad Hall".
[everyone laughing]
- It's pretty good.
- What question am I sick of being asked?
- What's it like to work with Maggie Smith?
[everyone laughing]
- What's my favorite Maggie Smith line?
- Why is Downton such a success?
- You got that one.
Yay, guys!
Our first total home run.
- What part did I read for my Downton audition?
- Oh.
- Your own?
- Edith.
[everyone laughing]
I mean I just thought I was gonna be reading
for maybe a one line part.
It was like my first TV audition.
So when they gave me 3 scenes, I'm like,
"Oh my God, this is a proper part in this show!"
There was a scene that was cut in the first episode
where I had to cry with you about Patrick.
And it was the first scene we ever shot.
And you were so nice to me,
because I was so nervous and like, yeah,
it was like first time really on a set.
And it was like, "cry".
[everyone laughing]
- No pressure, but cry now.
- No pressure, but yeah.
[playful music]
- Oh he's writing his answer down before he even asks them.
- That's how we should've played this game.
- How did he propose to Jessica?
[everyone laughing]
- Other than acting, what am I exceptionally good at?
[everyone laughing]
- Where to begin, tapestry?
- Yes, needle pointing.
- Needle point.
- To be specific, needlepoint,
with my frame that I gave you.
- That was very kind of you to give me the tapestry thing.
And the knitting needles-
- And writing-
- She sent me knitting.
- And writing because, you are just writing your book.
- What?
Am I writing a book that comes out in October?
Called 'Playing Under the Piano',
available from all good bookstores?
Okay, I'll give the answer, bullshitting.
[everyone laughing]
What is my mum's occupation?
- What, didn't we find out that she was a,
maybe, have been a spy?
- Oh, she worked in, yes-
- Oh wait, no, he's bullshitting again.
- Maybe.
- No, I think this is something you've discovered later.
- She worked somewhere with, was it, MI5?
- MI6.
- Wow!
- She wasn't a spy, she did filing, but anyway.
- That's what she told you.
- That's what she told me.
- Okay.
What's my go to party song?
- Ooh.
- It's Beyonce.
- 'All the Single ladies'.
- Yeah.
- [Laura] It could be Rihanna,
"We found love in a hopeless place".
Ooh, It's so tricky.
- Rick Astley.
- It could be Rick Astley.
[everyone laughing]
It's probably Beyonce.
- Yeah, I'm gonna go with Beyonce.
"All the Single Ladies" I like.
- Guys, it's not, it's "Juicy", Biggie.
- Ohh.
- But, "Juicy", I think, is a very good party starter.
- You saved a party at my house, do you remember?
My housewarming in LA?
- [Michelle] Yes.
- You became DJ, saved the night.
- DJ Dockers.
And I think that's where I got my nickname
from Allen's housewarming party.
Yes.
What's my secret talent?
And can you demonstrate?
- She has so many talents.
- So many.
- Exactly, super talented.
- She's a quadruple threat.
- And, well, singing, but that's not-
- That's not a secret.
- That's no secret.
- Fantastic dancer, I would say, secret talent-
- Yeah, she's good on her toes.
She can do the Shirley MacLaine dance
from "Sweet Charity", perfectly.
- Allen's about to show it.
[everyone laughing]
- You see Allen do it?
- I can whistle through my teeth.
- Oh yeah.
- Ah.
- Ah, I didn't know that.
[Michelle whistling]
- I wouldn't really make too much of that one.
[everyone laughing]
- Okay, this is fun.
[everyone laughing]
So what's the weirdest thing you could find in my bag?
- You've ever searched through Michelle's bag?
[everyone laughing]
- If I have, I'm not going to admit it.
Snacks?
- Yeah, I was gonna say,
what weird kind of snacks would it be.
- Dog treats.
- I was gonna say, maybe, dog treat.
- Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
That's what it is.
- No.
What did you write?
- Crisps.
[everyone laughing]
- We did say snacks.
- Snacks, they got it right.
It is snacks, yeah.
[playful music]
- I don't know the answer to this one myself,
so, good luck team.
What's my signature dance move?
- I mean-
- I mean, there's so many, so many.
- There must be certain signature dance move.
Is it, does it involve a click, clicking?
- Oh, I do do a bit of a, I do do something actually,
which I'm sure you've all seen me do.
- Is it like.
[Michelle snapping]
- Oh, I do do a bit of that, but that's not what I wrote.
- Does that have a name?
- Is it the electric slide?
- I've put hair flick.
- [Laura] Hair flick.
- Yeah.
What embarrassing thing did I say to Kate Middleton
when she came to set?
- Ooh, it's something like,
"Oh, it's funny to see you in Lady Mary's bedroom."
- Oh yes.
- Something like that.
- "Oh, not many people get to come in Lady Mary's bedroom"
[everyone laughing]
And then I'm like, "Oh my gosh, what have I done".
- I was about to do that thing, where you go,
I didn't mean it.
And I thought, no, Jo, just shut up.
[everyone laughing]
- But you were so nervous.
- She did like crack a little smile,
but she was very gracious
and didn't embarrass me any further.
Where do I think are the best fish and chips in the world?
- England.
- East, yeah, East London.
London.
- Duh.
- Yeah.
- I don't know.
- No, I'm gonna go north.
- Yeah, it's gonna be up north.
- Anywhere in the UK.
- Yeah.
- Wherever you're from.
- Maybe up north.
- Oh, of course.
- Allen's got it right, wherever I'm from, which is Whitby.
[everyone laughing]
- You lost mine, I mean, no one knew any of mine.
- You're a closed book Michelle Dockery.
[Elizabeth laughing]
- And you knew nothing about me.
- I guessed that Allen was the sexiest man
in Ireland in 2005, so.
- Thanks for looking into my eyes and seeing the past.
- Thanks so much for watching, come see the show.
Show?
- Movie, movie, movie, movie.
Maybe do another one, where you say, come see the movies.
- Shall we start to sing.
[Michelle singing]
