Have been watching and enjoying Upstairs Downstairs. Usually, if I am going to be involved with a project, either at the puter or in the kitchen, a disk goes in and the whole of it runs. I am on Series Four. It looks like James is about to return home from the war injured. For a while I was thinking he was coming home to die but now not so much. The spoilers are that Richard will find love again. I thought that James would die and then Richard and Hazel would hook up, but a new woman has entered the story line. She's very attractive but she rubbed Richard the wrong way. He was highly annoyed with her. She's probably the one.
This series is obviously a forerunner for Downtown Abbey. Upstairs/D. carries wonderful qualities. Aside from the technical advances, Downtown takes the story lines so much further and with much more depth. It is interesting to compare them and to match characters. There are commonalities, fundamental truths and differences. There's a class elitist snobbery that is very evident in Upstairs. That was their way of life then. Anyway, I am properly hooked and attached to the characters.

I loved Upstairs Downstairs when it was on Masterpiece Theatre yeArs ago. Sunday evening was Masterpiece time, and if we were out for dinner, it was understood that we either had to be home to watch it, or we were staying to watch until it was over. Great memories of The Duchess of Duke Street, Poldark, The Thorn Birds.
