Downton Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Valet 

Seriously, Jim Carter's dramatic leap through the door had me laughing out loud for real.

It's like a group of 16 year olds got a hold of someone's camera phone and access to the set and costumes. 😂

As far as I'm concerned, this is all canon.

"Are you wearing a cape?" "Yes!" "Why?" "Cool!" "Debetable!" so hilarious!!!

'it creates dramatic tension, my raison d'etre' I'M CRYING

Who knew that the evil and troubled Thomas Barrow was played by such a cute and adorable guy!!

2:16 : Michael C Fox, filming while being carried by a guy....hilarious

Bates running--never thought I'd see the day.

LMAO When Bates said 'Cheese' and started in on that giant block I lost it!!

Now that's something I never knew I'd see, a Downton Abbey Star Wars cross-over, hilarious :D

This was all worth it, just listening to those small sounds Mr. Bates does when he feels a "disturbance in the Force".

"i need you in the dining room now" **awkwardly jumps to the right**

I need 12 seasons of this.

Oh my gosh how am I just now seeing this?! My two favorite things combined! I love Bates and Anna's dialogue and how Brendan was making that humming sound and walking like that! Downtown and Star Wars...my life is now complete😂😂😂

I've watched this too many times! "Are you sure it's not just your irritable bowl?"

Bates just went from swag walking to an owl lmao 1:08

After carefully watching several times, I noticed that the cape Mr. Bates is wearing is actually one of Lord Granthem's dressing gowns.

Thomas vs Bates lightsaber fight...that's how Downton Abbey should end!

This is one of the funniest things ever on the Internet. Showing the whole family. ❤️ mr Carson jumping was awesome. 😂

5:16 killed me😂😂how both are running and screaming

i'm kinda sad he didn't say de-bates-able at 4:47 but funny nonethless

On a serious note, tho. Rob, take singing lessons. You would make a damned handsome Phantom of the Opera!!!

That's it. my life is complete. absolutely nothing can be better than this.

Love this, especially Carson coming in and stopping the fight xD

"My raison d'etre." Ain't that the truth XD

This is one of the best charity sketches I've ever seen LOL. Thank you to RJC for doing it for us and to the rest of the cast who took part =)

the greatest thing i have ever watched in my life.

Can we just have a spin of from Downton Abbey with Downton Wars I love it

I'm crying with laughter 😂😂 why have I never seen this before

OMG, how funny. I love Bates’ “silly walk.” The writing, well, Julian Fellowes has nothing to worry about. But for comedy, I admit, I laughed the whole way through. I hope they do more during the filming of the movie. Get with it, boys. (I’d love to see a duet with Mrs. Patmore(-Mason???) and Mrs. Hughes-Carson. Those girls are hysterically funny off camera.

Omg I love Rob James-Collier sooo much!! Awesome video

every six months i randomly remember about this and absolutely die and come back to life and then forget about it so i appreciate as much as the first time every time

5:12 I fell out of my seat laughing.

OMG, this amazing XD how Bates walked on to the set. And Thomas is such a cool guy 😎

where has this gem been all my life I’m dying💀

Indeed both episodes spot on brilliant!! We all need more Rob!! USA fan of all DA & hungry for more, as well as DA movie sequel(s). 😃🤗👍

Just when I thought there were no more heroes. I love what you're doing here. It's so important. Thank you!

I'm for real weeping with laughter, weeping I say!

I love the Evil Butler! Best wishes for the Marathon. Let's see what I can do...

now we need the bloopers 😂😂

Just when I thought I couldn't enjoy the show more ... love it!

Love it! I miss the Downtown Abbey show so much, but am getting my fix on these and other hilarious Downton cast videos. Keep them coming!

Not one moment when I wasn't laughing.. So funny.

So much swag!

That.... was AMAZING! That it's for charity makes it even better. Well done!

Darth Vader knows that the cape is cool. It frightened many children for a lot of years. It’s nice that so much of the cast helped that mean old Thomas to raise money for charity.

I didn't know that I needed this. I'm glad that I've found this so that now I have lived a great and fulfilling life.

how in the world is he nearly 40

2:16 someone is holding onto the person recording lmfao😂😂👏👀

I can die happy now.

Why am I seeing this NOW ?! I It's beyond hilarious 🤣🤣🤣 That Carson moment just took me

"We're amazing, aren't we." - Mr. & Mrs. Bates

Ahhh ok I accidentally watched part two first. I was really puzzled and I stupidly thought that it was just amazing editing

"Whatever. Are you wearing a Cape?" Lmao

Why must you always lurk in the shadows, Thomas?

I can´t. I just. I can´t. I love you.

What are you talking about, Ana??? _Cape IS cool!!!!!_ XD

I love Downtown Abbey. I love Star Wars. This is absolutely amazing and hilarious !! Well done, Mr. Barrow !

OMG I can't believe What I'm watching =)))) I fell off my bed laughing!!!:)))

Damn it! 2:42 made jump and made inhale my soda Dx lol

Thank you for everything you are doing to support the Chilterns MS Centre, it means so much to all of us.

First time seeing this and it's just hilarious! 😁😂👍👏 "Farce was strong with Abbey..obviously"

that guitar!

Downton Wars ep 1 cast Brendan Coyle: His Lordship's valet/the Phantom Valet John Bates Joanne Froggatt: Lady's maid Anna Bates Rob James-Collier: Footman/the Evil Butler Thomas Barrow Guest starr Jim Carter OBE: Butler Charles Carson

Two favourites combined smiles all the way.

This is genius and quite hilarious

I love this brendan is great he's so talented

Of all the wonders we've seen on your planet, this is by far the best!

God bless the cast of Downton!

star wars isnt my thing but this was just great!

Bates sashaying like a bird of paradise was hilarious

Love the spaghetti western accompaniment!

Next episode: Rob and the gang Naruto running in the courtyard

His real accent 🥰

Bates shows more range in these 6 minutes than during all the seasons of the show 👏🖤

LMAO. THats the most ridiculously hilarious thing i've seen! BAHAHA

Just discovering this gem, thank you !

This has made my morning. So so wonderful!

this is Great ! I love it...I couldnt stop laughing..Im gonna miss Downton Abbey!

This was wonderful!!!

Bates' love for capes? The Senate loves a man with style.

Just when you think you can't love them more, they do this :-)

this is the best thing on the internet

rob rob, why

I rediscovered these videos, shared them on Tumblr, and now all of these people are convinced they're tripping. Wonderful!

Rob your acting is the best.... Your my favorite actor on Downton Abbey... usa

MR CARSENS FRICKING JUMP KILLED ME

LOL...I was having a fairly blue day until this came along. It made me laugh a lot.

There needs to be more of this everywhere. Lots of shows need to do spinoffs like these

I fucking love this you don't even know

Jesus, Rob, you missed THE GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY to call him, “Master Bates.”….. I still love it, but skipping out on that slim chance is quite disappointing, I must say. Much to learn, you still have.

Best cast ever

i am howling at the moon laughing my ass off at this

So silly that it's good. Bates could play Barnabas Collins.

Late comment.. but this is hilarious. 😂😂 So much so, that I had to find a version other than the “comment restricted” one RU-vid put on my feed, simply to give praise and a like.

may the 4th be with you

Brilliant...loving the sound track

Epic! Gonna donate some € right now for the cause.

Only part of the way in and I’m dying laughing

I love this
