My sister and I ...Can't wait until this starts! My sister and I have been talking about it constantly with great anticipation. I have VERY fond memories of the series. It was a family ritual with us to sit down every Sunday for Masterpiece Theater-Lord Peter Wimsey, Upstairs/Downstairs, Danger UXB-with an extremely young Anthony Andrews (I was madly in love), Pride and Prejudice (madly in love with Darcy, of course).<br /><br />The blue in the foyer is perfection. The side chairs with the stylized wheat-sheaf motif (I'm guessing) need to be mine as well as the vase on the left in that picture. What is it with monkeys and the 30's? That must have been a stylish pet to have. Have you ever noticed there are always pet monkeys in movies from that era. I also love that they just use their furniture, no worries about coasters!Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11426892421830439199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498357134928699381.post-60231516746424769492011-04-06T13:13:47.759-04:002011-04-06T13:13:47.759-04:00Can't wait for the show.

I remember watching the original broadcasts of Upstairs, Downstairs in the 70's (when I was a tv watcher) and crying when Rose's fiance died in the war. Gaye, have you seen Eileen Atkins in Cold Comfort Farm? If you haven't you MUST! It's another divine, and divinely hilarious, period piece (also starring Kate Beckinsale and Joanna Lumley). Please rent the video forthwith, and thanks for this post, it will be wonderful seeing Jean Marsh rule!Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07044021227952639108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498357134928699381.post-69722308997937150112011-04-06T08:36:10.371-04:002011-04-06T08:36:10.371-04:00I am looking forward to Sunday evenings this month...I am looking forward to Sunday evenings this month.

I do not know if it is because the original in 1970 was such a unique series at the time and far and few were like it that I have a soft spot for it in general. There is something here that is more compelling to me than DA,though Maggie Smith is superb in the role she plays-I don't find the characters as interesting. Especially after the 2nd episode the characters came to life Upstairs Downstairs. Oddly-I can not imagine it is ending so soon-meanwhile back at Downton I was just warming to some of those characters and poof they were gone. pgtP.Gaye Tapp at Little Auguryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15115534755711063462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498357134928699381.post-21214899334893976662011-04-05T15:06:44.415-04:002011-04-05T15:06:44.415-04:00I have seen all three episodes of Upstairs Downsta...I have seen all three episodes of Upstairs Downstairs when it aired on the BBC over the Christmas period, it was much appreciated as everyone was mourning the loss of Downton Abbey.<br /><br />The decor and Eileen Atkins were the highlights for me.<br /><br />Comparisons are always going to be made about the two programs, especially after a very interesting article was published in the Sunday Times, I knew Jean Marsh and Eileen Atkins had created the original Upstairs Downstairs but I did not know they had been approached to work on Gosford Park, because of other commitments they could not oblige, hence the job went to Julian Fellowes, which spawned Downton Abbey.<br />According to the British press there have been a few spats:<br /> http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/bbc/8217705/Downton-Abbey-and-Upstairs-Downstairs-set-for-ratings-war-in-2011.html<br /><br />Healthy competition sets the bar high for both of these excellent period dramas, all the more for us to enjoy!Dashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05329090600374787029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498357134928699381.post-77752221063779903162011-04-05T14:32:39.253-04:002011-04-05T14:32:39.253-04:00Devoted Rather than giving away any of the plot-I ...Devoted Rather than giving away any of the plot-I thought to ripen the palate for the reader.
