For those of you obssesed with all things British this week, you may enjoy the new Upstairs Downstairs. I just finished episode 3 & thought the series was very good.
All three episodes will be available till May 25th.
Thank you very much.
Is this anything like or a continuation of Downtown Abby?
It was a real disappointment. IMHO: poorly done, almost incoherent. The three episodes seemed to revolve around Oswald Mosley and the British Fascists and, who would have imagined, Joaquim von Ribbentrop. Cecil Beaton was dragged in long enough to take a picture of the cook.
Downton Abbey is much better, but I thought it was still enjoyable. Great sets & fashions!
Thanks I really like Downtown Abby and can’t wait for the next season. I’ll have to check out this one
Last year I watched the old Upstairs, Downstairs. I strongly looked forward to the new series but unfortunately it doesn’t hold a candle to the original.
There is however a compromise that works out quite well.
