Season 8 has raked in excellent audience numbers, and has been the highest-rating returning drama of the year, with an average audience of nine million.
Executive producer Dame Pippa Harris has lauded the 'extraordinary creativity' of writer Heidi Thomas, and said: 'We are delighted and humbled by the continued warmth of the audience response.'
The drama's current plot-line is set in 1964, and the new seal will take it up to 1967 - poignant due to this being the year the Abortion Act was passed and it was made legal to terminate unwanted pregnancies in England, Scotland and Wales.
