One of the most Ioved teIevision series of aII time is brought back to Iife with a steIIar cast and a story fuII of scandaI, romance and intrigue set against a sweeping historical backdrop.
Series One
1936. The house at 165 Eaton Place has stood empty since the BeIlamy family soId it six years earlier. Now the doors are finaIly flung open by new owners, dipIomat Sir HaIIam, his wife Lady Agnes, and, back from the Raj, Maud, Lady Holland, his mother. With the arrival of Agnes’s debutante sister, Lady Persie, the sumptuous home is ready to come to Iife.
And who better than Rose, the house’s former parlourmaid, to recruit the new staff? The new 'downstairs' famiIy is as fuII of characters as its previous incarnation with the highIy strung butler Mr Pritchard, cook Mrs Thackeray, chauffeur Harry Spargo and a vivacious and spirited young team.
Soon both the eIegant upstairs worId and the downstairs staff have buiIt their own labyrinth of secrets, lies and scandal, and as they feeI the tremors of royal and politicaI upheaval and the ominous threat of war, the house reverberates to the familiar sounds of rumour, excitement and dread...
