American broadcaster PBS is feeding the addiction of its 'Downton Abbey' fans with an online trivia graphic.

Titbits include Jim Carter, who plays dignified butler Carson, takings part in charity bike rides across the world, and Elizabeth McGovern, the show’s Lady Cora, is in a band called Sadie & the Hotheads.

The PBS graphic does not, however, address the fate of star-crossed lovers Lady Mary and Matthew (Michelle Dockery and Dan Stevens).

ITV1’s 'Downton Abbey', charting the fortunes of an early 20th-century estate’s family and servants, and has proved a hit for PBS.
