It's (d)ON!

Only 40 more sleeps until Mad Men comes back (38 if you're planning on, ahem, being in America when it airs there). We've already made a few speculations and had a few teasers, but now Jon Hamm has ever so sort of slightly confirmed our biggest wish for the series - Don Draper and Joan Holloway making sweet beautiful love. Our second wish is for Sally Draper to get a Mia Farrow crop and go lesbian just to annoy Betty.

So, Jon Hamm has been in the UK this week promoting Mad Men season five for Sky Atlantic, which is pretty decent since he's only on 250k per episode. Whilst at a BAFTA Q&A chat (one of those cringey fan things where people are all like 'can you read my script' and 'will you meet me afterwards'), someone asked him why Don hadn't had a little lay with Joan, to which the actor responded:

"Who says he hasn't?

"The Don/Joan dynamic is something that we do explore, and don't take this the wrong way, but we do explore as the show goes on. They have worked together for a long time, they know one another very well and I'll leave it at that."

So that obviously means they're totally going to do, right? RIGHT.

Check out the tension here.
