A new series of Downton Abbey set in the 1970s could be made, after the creator of the ITV drama Julian Fellowes admitted he's keen for the popular show to return when season six comes to a close, but this time set in the era of disco balls and flared trousers.

He said: "It would be quite fun if in ten years, when we've all forgotten about it, it came back as 'Downton' struggling in the Seventies or something similar."
And Julian, 65, thinks the son of Matthew and Lady Mary Crawley would take the leading role.
He added: "It could be George Crawley grown up and all sorts of new situations and how these families coped."
Julian - who also hinted it was his decision to end the award-winning show - has admitted he would also be keen on making it into a movie.
He told The Sun newspaper: "Instead of having to tailor it for a television budget, you could really give it some welly."
Meanwhile, when previously confirming the end of the ITV drama, Julian praised the "unique experience" on the show.
In a statement, he shared: "The 'Downton' journey has been amazing for everyone aboard. People ask if we knew what was going to happen when we started to make the first series and the answer is that, of course we had no idea ...
"But I do know how grateful we are to have been allowed this unique experience. I suspect the show will always be a principal marker in most of our careers as we set out from here, and if so, I consider that a blessing and a compliment."
