Ever since it first appeared on our screens back in 2010, Downton Abbey has been one of the most talked about dramas in UK TV history.
With only one series a year it leaves a lot of time for us all to speculate on what will happen next to the Crawley family in their plight to fit into post-war modern Britain.
In particular the 2012 Christmas Special had us all gasping at our screens when one of the show’s favourite and best-loved characters, Matthew Crawley (Dan Stevens) was killed off on his way back from the hospital where his wife Mary (Michelle Dockery) had just given birth.
For months the talk of the media was how the show would cope with such a loss, with rumours flying around everywhere that the beloved ITV period drama was on its way out, as well as wondering what the finale would have in store for us.
But there was one person who wouldn’t have been too worried about what would happen in series 4, which aired last autumn, as they already knew!
Marcel Lazar Lehel, who The Sun newspaper have labelled a hacker, has been accused of stealing the scripts of the series four season finale of Downton Abbey after managing to hack his way into the high profile email accounts of several VIP’s including former President George W Bush and Newsnight’s Jeremy Paxman.
The information, including photographs, was passed on to the US website The Smoking Gun by the hacker, known as Guccifer, however the Downton script, surprisingly, went unpublished.
Guccifer was eventually tracked down by US authorities to his home town in Arad, Romania where he was arrested for the alleged crimes, The Sun newspaper reports.
