The latest in Downton Abbey season 5 spoilers is totally unexpected, a blooper caught on film and is now viral.

The newest Downton Abbey season 5 spoilers has fans musing over a mistake in the PBS show's promotional photo. Teasers for the historical TV show takes on a hilarious twist with an overlooked modern-day item, sneaked into a portrait.

The photo of a plastic bottle sneaked into a photo taken in a decade of petticoats and silver cutlery is by all means hilarious. The show received unexpected press with the blooper; so far the consensus is positive, and will likely affect viewership on the show's fifth season.

Show leads Hugh Bonneville and Laura Carmichael plays Earl of Grantham and Lady Edith, and pose for a portrait in front of a fireplace. The picture would've been pomp and dignified if not for one misplaced item behind them, which eagle-eyed fans unfortunately spotted.

The sneaked plastic water bottle is considered the best of Downton Abbey Season 5 spoilers so far, sending producers scrambling to fix the mistake. Downton Abbey's fifth season is reported to run January next year, and the blooper should tide fans of the series for a while.

Show writer Julian Fellowes apparently considered some of the comments abrasive. In defense of the show's historical accuracy: "The programme is pretty accurate. The real problem is with people who are insecure socially, and they think to show how smart they are by picking holes in the programme to promote their own poshness and to show that their knowledge is greater than your knowledge."

On the flipside, The Guardian quotes Diana Pearl, a follower who poked fun at the blunder. "Obviously the Crawley family invented the water bottle, and that's how they were able to support the estate."

Show producers are keeping things tight; Downton Abbey season 5 spoilers are pure speculation at the moment (hollywoodlife.com).
