She told Radio Times: “Right now, my son [Liam, 14], my husband [Harrison Ford] and I can’t stop watching Sherlock.

“It’s such a good show, although one of my all-time favourites is Downton Abbey. I love that show. I don’t want it to end.”

Praising Dame Maggie she said: “I love Maggie Smith. Thankfully, I have another season of Downton to go, so I’m not quite sad about the end yet.
