'Downton Abbey' is near its end, but fear not dear fans, as creator Julian Fellowes has said that the show might return as a 1970s spin-off.

He also said that there was a possibility of a film when the show wraps at Christmas after six series, saying "We could give it some welly... make it fantastically good.
