Upstairs, Downstairs

[remember]

Downton Abbey is sooo 2011... Here at Doyouremember.co.uk we're glued to the Beeb's latest remake of Upstairs, Downstairs.

Starring Ed Stoppard as Sir Hallam Holland and Keeley Hawes as Lady Agnes Holland, the period drama based on the original (pictured above), hasn't lost any of its charm. Filled with sharp-as-cut-crystal one-liners, sumptuous costumes and dramatic storylines, it's a must-watch. You may well remember the original, which aired in 1973 on ITV and followed the lives of the servants downstairs and the masters upstairs at 165 Eaton Place, London, during World War I. It starred Jean Marsh in the role of Rose, who is also involved in the Beeb's remake. We'd love to hear what you think of it!

The original was better.

Re: Upstairs, Downstairs

It was. Some episodes were awful though...like 'The Swedish Tiger', its a shame the Bellamy's Daughter was written out and Lady B died...even the actresses regretted their decisions leaving the show when it took off.
