Speaking to Deadline about the possibility of a film, executive producer Gareth Neame said: “We’ve had some conversations about it. Julian and I are keen”.
The actor, 52 – who plays benevolent Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham, in the hugely popular ITV series – told The Sun that the stars were frisked by production staff on the final day of filming… “The show did not end because any of our cast wanted to leave”.
The usually unlucky in love Lady Edith finally got her happy ending, as she Wednesday Bertie Pelham, while servants Anna and Mr Bates welcomed their first child.
For the second year running, ITV’s blockbuster series Downton Abbey used Alnwick Castle as one of its locations for its Christmas Day feature-length episode.
MillionsLLIONS of TV viewers will see a top North East attraction feature in this Christmas Day’s most talked about TV programme.
An average overnight audience of 8.6 million viewers, including those time-shifting on ITV +1, watched as Matthew Crawley (played by Dan Stevens) proposed to Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery) four years ago, according to the Broadcasters’ Audience Research Board (Barb). 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.
EastEnders, meanwhile, will follow festive specials of Doctor Who, Strictly Come Dancing and Call the Midwife on BBC One.
