The cast and crew of His Dark Materials have had a tough time trying to say goodbye to the show after finishing the third and final season.
In an interview with the Radio Times at the BFI & Radio Times Television Festival, the cast revealed their feelings about the end of the series.
"We said goodbye to it last year. And it was sad. It was really sad to say goodbye to monkey and [lead puppeteer] Brian [Fisher] and everyone," said actress Ruth Wilson, who plays Mrs Coulter.

"But we'll work again together. I've loved this job so much because of the collaboration. And it's made it such a special experience. So I think that hopefully we'll get to work again, we might even set up a duo, just the four of us, five of us. OK, a quin-o!" she added.
Similar sentiments were echoed by costume designer Caroline McCall, who said: "We've created a different world that didn't exist before. And we've all been part of that and played our part in that. So it's a difficult thing to let go of because we've had ownership of it. And now we've said goodbye."

VFX supervisor Russell Dodgson, however, is still in the process of making the show and is "at home sweating and crying every single day," so the journey isn't quite yet over for him. But at the same time, he acknowledged that it is "such a rewarding experience to go through".
This season of His Dark Materials is said to be its "most ambitious" yet and it will also delve deeper into Mrs Coulter's origin story.
"It's quite interesting, because this season we make a reference to her mother," Wilson said at the panel.
His Dark Materials airs on BBC One in the UK and HBO in the US.
