Hugh Bonneville Of ‘Downton Abbey’ Plays Not My Job

Filed by KOSU News in Art & Life.
December 8, 2012

America is obsessed with Downton Abbey, the British series about a family so wealthy that they can’t feed, clothe or care for themselves. Hugh Bonneville plays the patriarch of the family, and we’ve invited His Lordship to play a game we’re calling, “Welcome to America, Lord Grantham.”

Since Downton Abbey shows us British culture at its height, we’ve decided to create a quiz about the American equivalent — the TV show that shows America not only as it is, but as we most wish it to be. He’ll answer three questions about TLC’s Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. [Copyright 2012 National Public Radio]
