'Downton Abbey' star Jim Carter has predicted fans will need "two hankies" for the show's final episode.
The 67-year-old actor, who plays Mr Carson on the award-winning ITV period drama, has told ardent followers of the programme to brace themselves for a tear-jerking finale on Christmas Day.
He shared: "These characters, we say goodbye to them, but it is not final. We see them setting off on different paths.
"It is really satisfying and you will need two hankies on Christmas night."
Jim also joked about the length of time it took his on-screen character to become intimate with the head housekeeper Mrs Hughes, having kept fans on tenterhooks for years.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "It took six years - tortoises mate quicker! But we got there."
Earlier this month, 'Downton' producer Gareth Neame refused to rule out the possibility of the TV programme being turned into a feature film, saying it would be a "wonderful thing".
However, he also admitted the show's bosses "don't have a script or plan as of yet".
Asked about the possibility of a 'Downton' movie, Gareth said: "We might - it's something we've talked about.
"I think a 'Downton' movie would be a wonderful thing. But we don't have a script or a plan as of yet."

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini begged Simon Cowell to get rid of the Six Chair Challenge on 'The X Factor'.
The 32-year-old star has admitted she's dreading the brutal stage of the talent show - where each judge is forced to cut their category down to just six contestants - after being criticised for her choices last year.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz at the launch of the new series of 'The X Factor' at the Picturehouse Central cinema in London yesterday (26.08.15), Cheryl said: "I officially hate the six chair challenge. [Can't you get rid of it?] No. I've tried, I've tried, but I know what I'm looking at this year because last year was a completely new experience for me. I'd only heard about it, I hadn't experienced it. So to experience it is a real advantage."
The brunette beauty - who is returning as a judge alongside show boss Simon Cowell and new additions Nick Grimshaw and Rita Ora - also confessed she's worried her new colleagues won't be able to handle the pressure.
The 'Crazy Stupid Love' singer added: "I do worry a little bit for Nick and Rita. It's intense but if I get the category that I'm hoping for I think I know more so where I'm headed than I did last year. Last year, by the way, I was outnumbered. I had 17 girls, the rest of them had 12 or 13."
The new series of 'The X Factor' starts on Saturday (29.08.15) at 8pm on ITV.

Steve McQueen is making a six-part BBC drama.
The Oscar winning director of Hollywood blockbuster '12 Years a Slave' will make his first television series about a West Indian community based in the heart of London across three decades.
Steve said: "This is about a legacy which has not only made my life as an artist possible, but also has shaped the Britain that we live in today."
BBC bosses announced that the series - to air on channel one - features characters whose "lives have been shaped by their own force of will despite an often hostile environment".
The story is set in the late '60s in west London's Ladbroke Grove and a restaurant called Mangrove will set the scene for a place of "camaraderie and friendship that becomes a social heart for the community - and, over time, a flashpoint for resistance".
The 45-year-old writer and director - who was born in London in 1969 - added that the project is close to his heart because it tells the story of his own "legacy".
He said: "These stories are passionate, personal and unique. They are testimony to the truth of real lives and urgently need to be told.
Steve's other projects include Hollywood hits 'Shame' starring Michael Fassbender, about an executive struggling with sex addiction and 'Hunger', about the 1981 Irish hunger strike.

Natasha Hamilton thinks 'Celebrity Big Brother' would be "great fun".
The Atomic Kitten singer is rumoured to be entering the famous house tonight (27.08.15) and though she won't confirm the speculation, she already knows that if she did compete, she would be herself, whether it made people like her or not.
She said: "If I was ever asked to do the show, I think it would be good fun. If I did do a show like that, I would want to go in and be myself.
"I'm not the kind of person who would sit on the fence just so that people like me."
The 33-year-old star knows she'd miss her family - partner Ritchie Neville, their 11-month-old daughter Ella, and her sons Josh, 12, Harry, 10, and Alfie, four, from previous relationships - if she were in the house, but accepts that it's just a "job" and she is luckier than other mothers as she spends lengthy periods with them when she isn't working.
She said: "I think I'd be OK for a few days, but after a week the reality would kick in and I'd miss Ritchie and the kids terribly. At the end of the day, reality shows like 'Celebrity Big Brother' are a job and the kids are used to me working away.
"I'm lucky that I don't work every day so I get to spend a lot more time with my children than some mums do, so while it would be tough I think I'd get through it."
And the 'Whole Again' hitmaker has mixed feelings at the thought of sharing such a confined space with another rumoured contestant, US model Janice Dickinson.
She told OK! magazine: "I've heard talk of Janice Dickinson going in and I'm not sure how I'd get on with her.
"We'd either be the best of friends or the worst of enemies.
"I reckon she'd be a good laugh, but I think she could be a diva which I'd find hard to live with."

Fearne Cotton is worried about her children using social media.
The former BBC Radio 1 DJ is currently expecting her second child with husband Jesse Wood and has admitted she's not looking forward to her newborn and two-year-old son Rex growing up and using social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook.
Asked if she has any fears about raising children today, Fearne - who is also step-mum to Jesse's children Arthur, 13, and Lola, nine - said: "Social media. I didn't have it growing up and I'm really grateful for that. You can't restrict it because when they get to a certain age they're all going to be on the internet. I think as long as you're communicating at home about the good and bad sides then I think you're fine.
"Lola, my stepdaughter, is a really smart cookie. She's not going to take anything from anyone; I don't really have any worries about her growing up and having much pressure on her."
The 33-year-old star also confessed becoming a mother has been a lot more difficult than she expected.
Fearne told Look magazine: "You know it's going to be amazing and brilliant, which it is. But you don't really think about the practical elements or the level that you will worry about your kid. It's different to how I perceived it to be, but in every sense I love being a mum."

Helen George is set to compete on 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The 'Call the Midwife' star, who plays nurse Trixie Franklin on the show, is "so excited" to appear on the upcoming 13th series of the BBC One celebrity dance competition.
The 31-year-old actress announced the news by posting a photograph of her legs on Instagram, with the caption: "In honour of joining this year's 'Strictly Come Dancing,' I've got my leg warmers on!"
In a statement, she added: "I know it's going to be a challenge and if I'm honest I'm slightly terrified, but I can't wait to get my tan and sequins on."
Twelve other celebrities, including 'Superstar' hitmaker Jamelia, TV presenter Anita Rani, former 'Coronation Street' actress Georgia May Foote, boxer Anthony Ogogo, 'Mysterious Girl' hitmaker Peter Andre, 'EastEnders' actress Kellie Bright, TV chef Ainsley Harriott, BBC Radio 2 DJ Jeremy Vine, Irish singer Daniel O'Donnell, 'BBC Breakfast' weather presenter Carol Kirkwood, BBC Proms host Katie Derham and The Wanted's Jay McGuinness, were previously announced as part of this year's line-up.
The series is set to kick off next month and the final two contestants will be announced on BBC One's 'The One Show' on Friday (27.08.15).

Melanie Sykes thinks she'd be perfect for 'Celebrity MasterChef' because she's a "grafter".
The 45-year-old TV presenter - who starred alongside the likes of Michael Buerk and eventual winner Carl 'Foggy' Fogarty on last year's 'I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!' - has revealed she's eager to try her hand in the kitchen and thinks her can-do attitude is ideal for the BBC One show.
Asked if she'd like to participate on another reality TV programme, Mel exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I like 'Masterchef' - I think that's a good show and that'd be quite challenging. And I'd probably learn something, so I'd quite like that. But none of the other shows appeal to me."
Mel is confident she'd serve up some tasty dishes on 'MasterChef', but also admitted she'd need to improve her presentation skills.
She shared: "I'm not very good at making things look beautiful on a plate. But I can cook, so things taste nice.
"I always look at when they go into a kitchen in a hotel or a restaurant, I always think I'd be bloody good in a kitchen because I'm a grafter. I take orders very well and I've got a very logical thought process.
"So I think I'd be an asset in a kitchen. Making things beautiful, that's not really my forte - but I suppose you'd learn that."
Meanwhile, Mel also revealed she recently bumped into her former jungle buddy Carl while they were both staying in the same hotel in Marbella, Spain.
However, she said Carl failed to recognise her as she was "looking gorgeous".
She recalled: "I actually bumped into Foggy in Marbella. We were staying at the same hotel and that was a bit weird.
"He actually didn't recognise me at first. It was hilarious, I was staring at him. But he hasn't seen me looking gorgeous, he's seen me with the hair. He was thinking, 'Who's this Dorris here?' It was me!"

Gaby Roslin refuses to write a cookery book.
The 'Lorraine' host is extremely passionate about healthy eating and although she's been studying it for years, she doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of fellow presenters Davina McCall and Fearne Cotton by putting her name and face to a book because she doesn't believe what works for her will work for everyone else.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz, Gaby explained: "I've been studying it for 20 years ... I think what's really worrying is people put themselves out there ... I've been asked a number of times to write a book but I won't write a book because I'm not an authority.
"I've learnt a lot over the years, I've learnt what's right for me personally ... And I've been asked so many times to do stuff but I'm not a Guru."
The 51-year-old presenter - who has 14-year-old daughter Libbi-Jack with ex-husband Colin Peel and nine-year-old Amelie with husband David Osman - also revealed she feels proud that her children enjoy their healthy meals.
She explained: "I've always cooked at home for the kids. I feel so strongly about giving them free range and organic but they love it, they enjoy it, and I think it's because we make the food tasty.
"I love it when we go to restaurants ... I get a huge thrill when the kids say, 'Oh my God, that's so salty'. I think, 'Yes, I've taught them well!' "
But Gaby insists she doesn't stop them from indulging in the occasional treat.
She added: "I don't stop my kids having chips and we have chocolate in the house but they always laugh ... It was my birthday on Sunday and I got made, from clean cakes, an amazing woman called Henrietta, she made me a birthday cake and it was made from courgette and almond and pistachio and avocado and oh my God, it was amazing and my kids just went, 'Mum, you know you can have an unhealthy cake?' And I went, 'Just taste this', and they tasted it and went, 'That's fantastic'."

Gemma Oaten found it "very hard" to film domestic violence scenes in 'Emmerdale'.
The 31-year-old actress' character Rachel Breckle makes her exit from the ITV soap tonight (26.08.15) and has opened up about how "horrible" it was to act out scenes in which Rachel beats her boyfriend Sam Dingle (James Hooton).
Gemma shared: "The script broke my heart. Rehearsals were horrible for me. I couldn't get through them without crying!
"I know it's not real but the idea of doing that to someone you love ... It's been very hard to film."
However, Gemma hopes she and James did the scenes justice in a way that reveals the different "layers" that surround violent relationships.
She told ITV's 'This Morning': "I hope we've portrayed this domestic violence storyline in a way that shows the many layers there are behind these situations."
Meanwhile, James has confessed he found acting the victim interesting "from an actor's perspective" and revealed how the on-screen couple had to split to "survive".
He said: "We have so much chemistry on screen. From an actor's perspective, it was lovely to play out a twist like this.
"When Rachel leaves, Sam will still be licking his wounds. They still have this tremendous love for each other but they've realised that in order to survive, they have to split."
And although Gemma announced her departure from the soap for a second time earlier this year following her shock return in January, James added that viewers may see more of Rachel in the future.
He added: "The door is being left open for Gemma to come back."
