Downton Abbey executive producer Gareth Neame has said that he never expected the show to be so popular worldwide.
Following the period drama's win at the 2015 National Television Awards, he said that the show was designed "for a British audience first and foremost".
Speaking to reporters including Digital Spy, he said: "We're in 250 territories worldwide, it is a hit around the world, we're in the fifth series and I think this is the third time we've won at the NTAs.
"We designed the show for a British audience first and foremost - it's a British show. We didn't know it was going to be so big worldwide.
"So to be voted for again a third time for the fifth season by such a large number of British numbers is really what it's all about."
Asked if he could reveal any guest stars for the show's upcoming sixth series, he teased: "Wait and see.

Mrs Brown's Boys will "definitely" return for another series, star and creator Brendan O'Carroll has said.
O'Carroll told Digital Spy at the 19th National Television Awards that he is eager to write another series, though he is unsure if the hit sitcom will return in 2014.
"I definitely want to write another series," he confirmed. "We didn't do one last year because the time was taken up by the movie - shooting the movie over 10 weeks - so hopefully with the movie out of the way, we'll have the time this year."

"We've finished shooting and it's just being edited," O'Carroll revealed.
