The full trailer for series 5 for Downton Abbey is out.
The only thing that would make the trailer better is hearing that ITV and PBS will air Downton at the same time on both sides of the pond.

Dear PBS And ITV
Thank you for bringing Downton Abbey into our lives. The fifth season premieres in the US on January 4th, 2015. The lives of the aristocratic Crawley family and their servants have become part of our general cultural lexicon, in addition to being must see TV.
However, it is still 5 months in between the premiere in the UK and the premiere in the US. I am writing to tell you why Downton Abbey should air on both sides of the pond at the same time:
I’m aware that ITV is a commercial cable channel and PBS is a public channel that relies on donations to survive. There are issues when it comes to rights and editing, I understand that. It’s not like BBC who has their own American affiliate channel and can air Dr. Who on both sides of the pond at the same time.
That being said, I believe that it would help, not hurt Downton Abbey if it were to air on both sides of the pond at the same time.
Sincerely
A Downton Abbey Fan
Last week, ITV released a teaser for the 5th series of Downton Abbey.
It’s brief, only twenty seconds long. We hear Mr. Carson, the butler talking about how life is not static, but forever changing.
Is it me, does it sound a little cryptic, especially coming from conservative, old school, Mr. Carson?
We’ll all find out soon enough.
