Plot Synopsis
Storyline
In 1936, Sir Hallam Holland and his pretty young wife Lady Agnes return from a diplomatic posting abroad and take up residence at 165 Eaton Place, formerly the home of the Bellamy family but vacant for several years. By chance, they ask Rose Buck, herself a long-time servant in the Bellamy household, to find them a suitable staff. In the end, Rose herself joins them as the Housekeeper. The 1930s are a difficult time in England. The Depression has taken its toll with high levels of unemployment. Fascism, which has become popular on the Continent in Italy and Germany, is also finding followers in the UK with Oswald Mosely's British Union of Fascists. As the new staff begin their daily work, the downstairs family begins to take shape. Written by garykmcd

Trivia
Unlike the real Eaton Place, the street in Leamington Spa where the Eaton Place exteriors are filmed has houses on one side of the street only (there is a small park on the facing side). For this reason, most shots have to be carefully framed to show one side of the street only. The occasional wide establishing shot is blended in post production with a reverse angle shot of the same row of houses so that the street appears to have houses on both sides.

The original Upstairs Downstairs was a wonderful program. The new one is such a flat failure. In fact it's almost eerie how flat it is. The idea seems to be that if you dress people up in costumes and put them in England during a war, you don't need to do those little things that concern other series, such as commission a good script, hire good actors, attach a director who can direct to the project, etc. This program has all the energy of a bowl of after dinner mints. Furthermore, to base an episode on killing a pet is almost insanely stupid--and yet that's what the people behind this show thought would make a great debut for the second season. All in all, just a terrible, terrible disappointment.
