Downton Abbey set for fashion exhibition
The “Downton Abbey” series finale airs December 25 on ITV.

The cast, which includes Hugh Bonneville, Dame Maggie Smith and Michelle Dockery, finished shooting the final episode of the period drama in August (15) but were not allowed to keep any of the props from the show.
But as much as we truly appreciated this awesome end, and unbelievable is the only word we could use to describe it, the question on every Downton Abbey fan’s mind this morning is “why did it have to end?”
He revealed, “We easily could have gone for a 7th season, but if I’d have said “We haven’t got Maggie” it would have been a shadow of itself”.
The BBC claimed eight of the 10 most-watched Christmas shows, with Mrs Brown’s Boys and Stick Man drawing in an average of 6.4 million, and Doctor Who and Call the Midwife pulling in an audience of 5.8 million each.
EastEnders, which was up against Downton at 8:45pm, pulled in 5.7 million viewers.
Downton Abbey will end its wildly successful six-season run on Christmas Day, but the cast and crew have received one more honour ahead of the ITV series’s finale.
She admitted: “One of my favourite purchases is a fur-trimmed high-collared orange and green coat that Lady Edith [Laura Carmichael] wears when she first kisses Bertie Pelham [Harry Hadden-Patton] when she’s staying in Gregson’s apartment”.

Viewership for the Christmas Day episodes of ITV’s drama has fallen with each successive year since the first special was broadcast in 2011. “I think it would be interesting to know how many people are on their second screens or how many have got their tablets on”. Not a single show broke the 7 million viewer mark this year, down from the most recent peak in 2010 when three shows – all on the BBC – each attracted more than 10 million.
