Earlier this week, PBS released an image from the upcoming season of "Downton Abbey" that mistakenly featured a 21st century water bottle in background of a scene set in 1924.
Now they're at it again, releasing another photo with even more historical inaccuracies. This one includes modern hairstyles and trendy 2014 fashions, and each and every cast member is holding a water bottle this time around.
Is anyone paying attention to these promos? Naturally, it's just a jokey way to acknowledge what's become known as "Water Bottle-Gate." And, of course, it's all for a good cause as well, raising awareness for the international charity WaterAid. It's probably a good thing it wasn't a can of Mountain Dew Code Red, or a Bud Light or something. Take a look here: Check out Mr. Bates (Brendan Coyle) in the back there; he genuinely looks like he's starring in an ad for some very refined and very expensive bottled water.
What's more————The cast of Downton Abbey embraced 'water bottle-gate' today by posing for a picture to promote WaterAid's work.
The show continued to say classy by owning the good with another photo, this time with the cast members (in their more modern, non-character clothing) all brandishing water bottles on their Instagram feed, as reported by multiple media outlets including the BBC:
"The cast and crew came up with the idea of turning some of this attention towards an issue around water that really matters," a statement said. "They hope that by posing for this picture they will be able to raise awareness and amplify the work of international charity WaterAid."
A publicity still released this week hit the headlines when a plastic water bottle was spotted in the corner of the picture. The official photograph of The Earl and Lady Edith was cropped and used during the launch of the new season, but it was when an uncropped version of the image worked its way onto the internet that it sparked a global press frenzy.
An ITV spokesperson said, "After seeing the reaction the picture caused earlier this week, the cast and crew came up with the idea of turning some of this attention towards an issue around water that really matters. They hope that by posing for this picture they will be able to raise awareness and amplify the work of international charity - WaterAid."
If you enjoyed the photo, donate online or text WATER to 70007 to donate £3, to help us get clean water and safe toilets to the world’s poorest communities.
Barbara Frost, Chief Executive of WaterAid, said:“It brought a really big smile to my face when the cast of Downton Abbey said that they wanted to support WaterAid’s work. How fantastic that the attention created over one water bottle ends up benefiting some of the world’s poorest communities through access to safe, clean water today.
“Every pound and penny WaterAid receives will be matched by the UK Government, which means we can reach twice as many people with desperately needed clean water and sanitation.
“Thank you so much to the cast and the producers of Downton Abbey.”

因电影制作时的一些失误而出现在影片播放中的错误画面就叫“穿帮镜头”（goof）。穿帮镜头”在英文中还可以用blooper或者mistake来表示。
A goof in film making is an error made during film production which finds its way into the final released picture. Depending upon the film and the actual scene, the goof may have different effects: a loss in realism, an annoyance, or it could just be funny. It is often a type of continuity error. Goofs are also known as "bloopers" or "mistakes".
