UPSTAIRS, DOWNSTAIRS

We recorded the new BBC production of “Upstairs Downstairs”, broadcast over the Christmas period so we could watch it at our leisure.  We weren’t disappointed. My family were avid viewers of the original series’, depicting London life in an aristocratic family during the early 1900s.  Although originally an ITV production from the early 1970s, this reprise, written by the original authors and set in the pre-war 1930s with new characters, delightful sets and costumes was a welcome return. Now we’ve seen the 3 “taster” episodes, we’re waiting with bated breath for the next series, which must surely be a given.
