A well-written and acted series that is most addictive from the 1970s. It's a character study, and focuses on the changes happening during the early 1900s. Most every episode concentrates on issues during the Edwardian area. ... The pacing may be different than those familiar with Downton Abbey; and it is filmed in a way that may seem a bit more like watching a live drama. But that breadth and depth of the acting and the writing may be its enduring charm.

This was a hit in the 70's and it's a hit now. It's no coincidence they just did a three episode update just aired on Masterpiece. Upstairs Downstairs was ahead of it's time and has spawned countless others, Gosford Park just one example. Besides the concept, the characters are compelling, writing exquisite and acting superb. You really must pull up your cushion, brew some tea and get the Devonshire cream then get ready to be entranced by this timeless classic.
Great story. Wonderful characters. From way back in 1903 etc. See the styles in Britain. Very nice drama.
