Downton Abbey: love, death and marriage on the way

Michelle Dockery has revealed that there will be "a wedding, a funeral and a sex scene" in the current season of Downton Abbey.

But the 29-year-old actress hinted that her alter ego Lady Mary will only feature in one of those three scenes in Julian Fellowes' period drama.

She told Metro: "There's a wedding, a funeral and a sex scene. I'm in two - no, wait. I'm in one of those.

"The thing is, I can see people will think that I am involved in a particular one of those three, but I'm not. People will be really surprised.

"The incident with the Turkish diplomat comes back to haunt Mary in the second series. I can't tell you why, but it could literally bring down the whole of the Crawley family - it's huge."

So which scene will Mary be involved in and will Matthew be there?
