Downton Abbey ended on a high when Lady Edith finally got her happily ever after.
However, a spokeswoman for production company Carnival Films denied the cast had any part to play in the decision to end Downton after six series, with the final episode airing on Christmas Day.
It feels extraordinary, we remember the first day we were here and now here we are and it feels very, very unusual not to be coming back here.
While we were all keen to find out whether Mr. Bares and Lord Grantham would end on good terms and what Thomas Barrow’s fate would be, the main storyline we were all dying to know the end of was the will-they-won’t-they Edith and Bertie relationship.

BBC sci-fi favorite Doctor Who, starring Peter Capaldi, in 2014 drew an overnight audience of 6.34 million on Christmas Day, beating out Downton Abbey. The success marks the 1st time in 15 years of time of time in that ITV has crushed the BBC to say the very best rated Christmas Day show.

British period drama television series Downton Abbey’s swansong is a satisfying ending for the show’s dedicated fans.
Strictly Come Dancing’s Christmas special ranked in second place in the rankings with 6.5 million viewers, down 400,000 on last year’s show.
BBC One controller Charlotte Moore said: “BBC One brought the nation together with a distinctive range of programs on Christmas Day and eight of the top 10 most popular shows”.
However, with no one show breaking the seven million barrier, viewing figures as a whole are down on previous years.
