'''''Upstairs, Downstairs''''' is a British drama television series produced by [[London Weekend Television]] (LWT) for [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]]. It ran for 68 episodes divided into five series on ITV from 1971 to 1975.

Set in a large townhouse at 165 Eaton Place in [[Belgravia]] in central London, the series depicts the servants—"downstairs"—and their masters, the family—"upstairs"—between the years 1903 and 1930, and shows the slow decline of the [[British aristocracy]]. Great events feature prominently in each episode but minor or gradual changes are also noted. The show may be regarded as a documentary of the social and technological changes that occurred during those 27 years, including the [[Edwardian period]], [[Women's suffrage in the United Kingdom|women's suffrage]], the [[First World War]], the [[Roaring Twenties]], and the [[Wall Street Crash]]. It was a ratings success for ITV and received outstanding acclaim worldwide, winning multiple awards.

The [[BBC Wales]] and [[Masterpiece (TV series)|''Masterpiece'']]-produced continuation ''[[Upstairs Downstairs (2010 TV series)|Upstairs Downstairs]]'' was broadcast by [[BBC One]] in 2010.

==Background==
''Upstairs, Downstairs'' was originally an idea by two actress friends, [[Jean Marsh]] and [[Eileen Atkins]], for a comedy titled ''Behind the Green Baize Door''.<ref name="Inside UpDown"/> It focused on two housemaids, played by Marsh and Atkins, in a large [[English country house]] in the [[Victorian era]]. They soon added a family upstairs, as Marsh recognised "Servants have to serve somebody".<ref name="updown.org">((Cite web|url=http://www.updown.org.uk/intro.htm|title = Upstairs, Downstairs - Introduction))</ref> In summer 1969, they took this idea to Sagitta Productions, which was run by [[John Hawkesworth (producer)|John Hawkesworth]] and [[John Whitney (broadcaster)|John Whitney]].<ref name="Inside UpDown"/> They soon removed the comedy element, changed the setting to a large [[Townhouse (Great Britain)|townhouse]] in Edwardian London and the title became ''Below Stairs''. It was first offered to [[Granada Television]] in Manchester, but it declined as it already had a period drama, titled ''[[A Family at War]]'', about to start.<ref name="Inside UpDown"/> However, [[Stella Richman]], the controller of Programmes at [[London Weekend Television]], saw potential, and in April 1970, the first series was commissioned.<ref name="Inside UpDown"/>

Characters were then developed, but when [[Alfred Shaughnessy]], an old friend of John Hawkesworth, was called in as script editor, he changed much of the detail to make the characters more realistic. [[Honor Blackman]] was short-listed for the role of [[Lady Marjorie Bellamy|Lady Marjorie]] and [[George Cole (actor)|George Cole]] for that of the butler, [[Angus Hudson|Hudson]].<ref name="updown.org"/> Jean Marsh was already slated to take the part of Rose Buck, the head house parlourmaid. Eileen Atkins was scheduled to play the other maid, Sarah Moffat, opposite Jean Marsh's Rose, but was playing [[Victoria of the United Kingdom|Queen Victoria]] in a stage show at the time, so [[Pauline Collins]] took the role. [[Gordon Jackson (actor)|Gordon Jackson]] was offered the role of Hudson after it was decided that Londoner George Cole was not suitable to play a Scotsman.<ref name="Inside UpDown"/> The programme took many names, including ''Two Little Maids in Town'', ''The Servants' Hall'' and ''That House in Eaton Square''. It was titled ''165 Eaton Place'' until just before the production of the first episode when it was changed to ''Upstairs, Downstairs,'' following a suggestion from John Hawkesworth.<ref name="Inside UpDown"/>

Despite having a champion in Stella Richman, the show suffered from internal politics at the station, most notably from the sales department who could not see the attraction of a period drama, and the programme's  videotapes spent nearly a year in storage awaiting a transmission date.<ref name="Inside UpDown"/> Eventually the network had a space in its schedule at the unfashionable time of Sunday nights at 10:15 and called upon LWT to fill it. It chose ''Upstairs, Downstairs,'' and with no promotion of the show, there was little expectation of success. However, audiences steadily grew, and the series became a hit.<ref name="Inside UpDown"/> In the United States, ''Upstairs, Downstairs'' was aired as part of PBS' ''[[Masterpiece (TV series)|Masterpiece Theatre]]''.

== Cast and characters ==
((Main|List of Upstairs, Downstairs (1971 TV series) characters))

== Plot ==
The stories depict the lives of the wealthy Bellamy family ("upstairs"), who reside at 165 Eaton Place in London's fashionable [[Belgravia]], and their servants ("downstairs").

The household is led by Lady Marjorie Bellamy (née Talbot-Carey), daughter of the Earl and Countess of [[Southwold]], and her husband Richard Bellamy [[Member of Parliament|MP]], the son of a country parson. They married despite the objections of her parents and set up house at 165 Eaton Place, one of several London properties owned by Lord Southwold. Richard is a politician, and several plots revolve around his political ambitions and conflicts arising from his desire to follow both his conscience and his allegiance to his father-in-law's politically conservative [[Tory]] party.

Richard and Lady Marjorie Bellamy have two children, [[James Bellamy (Upstairs, Downstairs)|James]] and [[Elizabeth Bellamy|Elizabeth]], who are, respectively, in their early 20s and late teens when the series starts in 1903. In 1912, James's wife Hazel becomes the mistress of the house following Lady Marjorie's death, and the following year, Richard's ward, Georgina, comes to live at 165 Eaton Place.

The original servants were the authoritarian butler Mr Angus Hudson, cook Mrs Kate Bridges, pragmatic head house parlourmaid Rose Buck, sweet Irish kitchen maid Emily, eccentric [[footman]] [[Alfred Harris (Upstairs, Downstairs)|Alfred]], mischievous under-house parlourmaid Sarah, coachman Pearce, and Lady Marjorie's lady's maid Maude Roberts. Over the years they are joined by Edward, a cheeky footman who later becomes a chauffeur; Daisy, the parlourmaid who eventually marries Edward; Thomas Watkins, the devious chauffeur who dallies with Sarah's affections; and Ruby, the slow-witted [[Kitchen maid (domestic worker)|kitchen maid]].

In the episode "Another Year" from series 4, Hazel Bellamy notes that there are two families living in the house, one upstairs and the other downstairs, which she likens to a related family: Mr Hudson and Mrs Bridges are the father and mother; Rose, the eldest daughter who lost her man at the front; their son Edward and his wife, their daughter-in-law Daisy; and Ruby, the youngest child.

=== Series One (set 1903–1908) ===
The first and second series span the period 1903 to 1910, during the reign of [[Edward VII of the United Kingdom|Edward VII]]. In 1903, Sarah Moffat applies to be under-house-parlour maid for the Bellamy family, pretending to be of French parentage but soon revealed to be illiterate, English, and with no work history. Later in the year, Lady Marjorie poses for bohemian artist Mr Scone (which he pronounces "skoon"), who over the same period paints an intimate portrait of Sarah and (an imagined) Rose, the Bellamy's head house maid; he exhibits both paintings juxtaposed at the [[Royal Academy]]. Fearing a scandal, Bellamy threatens to sack the two maids but is dissuaded by Scone. Later, the Bellamys holiday in Scotland. With Mr Hudson gone from London, the servants carouse drunkenly through the house only to be caught by the Bellamy son James, who promises not to disclose their misbehaviour. James and Sarah later have an affair that results in Sarah's pregnancy. James is banished to India, while Sarah is sent to the Southwold estate for the duration of her pregnancy.

Around 1905, daughter Elizabeth returns from Germany to be prepared to be presented to the King and the Queen Consort at a social event. Her rebellious, headstrong nature causes her to flee the event. She later talks with servant Rose, who lectures her about the importance of duty and how it applies to the entire household.

Elizabeth soon falls in love with German Baron Klaus von Rimmer, unaware that he is gay and that he is using her in a scheme to obtain naval secrets from her father. Rose catches him having sex with Alfred, the footman, and he flees Eaton Place before the police arrive and arrest them. To spare Elizabeth the real reason for his departure, she is told that he is a spy. Alfred is replaced by Edward Barnes, a young and naive footman whose fun-loving and immature nature initially annoys Mr Hudson.

In the summer of 1906, Lady Marjorie is enamoured with her son James's friend, Captain Charles Hammond. She has an affair with him, but guilt compels her to break it off. While Lady Bellamy and Rose are away in the country, a new under-house-parlour maid, Mary Stokes, arrives. She is pregnant, having been raped by Myles Radford, the son of a powerful politician and a Bellamy family friend. Richard Bellamy attempts to help Mary, but the Radfords refuse to take responsibility and the legal system proves ineffective. Mary quits, but departs with a small gift of money from some of the servants.

The following year, 1907, Mrs Van Groeben arrives from South Africa. Housemaid Emily falls passionately in love with Mrs Van Groeben's footman, William. Mrs Van Groeben learns of the affair, and, considering Emily to be beneath William, forbids him to see her. William drops Emily when he learns of his mistress's disapproval, suggesting he never really cared about her. Emily takes her own life. Mrs Bridges, distraught with remorse over Emily's death, steals a baby from its pram outside a shop and hides it in her room. The baby is returned to its parents by Richard and Lady Marjorie, and Mrs Bridges only escapes a jail sentence after Hudson agrees to marry her once they are no longer in service. The scullery maid position is first replaced by Doris, then by Nellie, and finally by Ruby, who is rather slow and is frequently scolded by Mrs Bridges.

In 1908, daughter Elizabeth Bellamy marries Lawrence Kirbridge, a young poet.

=== Series Two (set 1908–1910) ===
Somewhat indifferent to his new responsibilities as a householder, Lawrence also avoids marital relations with Elizabeth, claiming he prefers her to be pure and muse-like, leaving their marriage unconsummated. Elizabeth has a brief affair with Lawrence's publisher, which Lawrence facilitates. It results in Elizabeth becoming pregnant, giving birth to a daughter, Lucy Elizabeth. Elizabeth joins militant [[suffragettes]] who attack the home of a prominent politician, resulting in her being arrested. She is bailed out shortly thereafter by a wealthy Armenian gentleman named Julius Karekin. They become romantically involved, and he buys a hat shop for her to manage. Karekin is more interested in buying his way into British society than he is in Elizabeth's affections. He buys the lease of 165 Eaton Place after the Bellamys are forced to sell in the aftermath of Lady Marjorie's father's death in 1909. He offers the lease to Elizabeth who then gives it to her parents. Richard and Lady Marjorie are now morally in Karekin's debt.

A pregnant Sarah returns to Eaton Place the night the Bellamys host the king for dinner; Sarah goes into labour, but the baby, a son, is stillborn. James eventually returns from India just before his mother's birthday on 6 May 1910 (which coincides with the death of King Edward VII). He brings his brash and gushing fiancée, Phyllis, the daughter of an army veterinarian. James eventually breaks off the engagement, however, realizing that Phyllis is not right for him.

Elizabeth eventually moves to America in 1910 after splitting from Karekin and divorcing Kirbridge. She is later said to have married a man named Dana. Sarah falls in love with chauffeur, Thomas Watkins, who previously worked as Lawrence Kirbridge's valet. Sarah becomes pregnant again and will be dismissed. Thomas offers to marry her, but no one knows it is actually his child. To avoid any scandal, Lord Bellamy arranges for them to leave service and start their own business. While in the ''Upstairs, Downstairs'' episode "A Family Gathering" it is stated that Thomas and Sarah were married, this fact is disregarded in the spin-off series ''[[Thomas & Sarah]]''.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.updown.org.uk/epguide/ts.htm |title=Upstairs, Downstairs - Thomas & Sarah |website=Updown.org.uk |access-date=2016-11-15))</ref>

In episode 9 of this series, "An Object Of Value", veteran British actress [[Cathleen Nesbitt]] made a guest appearance as Lady Southwold, Lady Marjorie's mother. At the end of the second season, actresses [[Rachel Gurney]] (as Lady Marjorie) and [[Nicola Pagett]] (as Elizabeth) permanently left the series, but Gurney appeared briefly in the premiere episode of the third season ("Miss Forrest"). Pagett's character of Elizabeth never was seen again, but she was mentioned throughout the remainder of the series. Actresses [[Meg Wynn Owen]] as Hazel Forrest Bellamy, James's wife; and [[Lesley-Anne Down]] as Georgina Worsley, Richard's ward and James's cousin became the major female upstairs characters.

=== Series Three (set 1912–1914) ===
Lady Marjorie, her brother, Hugo Talbot-Carey (the Earl of Southwold), and his new wife (widow Marion Worsley) all perish in the [[RMS Titanic|RMS ''Titanic'']] disaster. Miss Roberts, Lady Marjorie's maid, survives and returns to Eaton Place, refusing to let anyone touch Marjorie's jewellery box, believing she is keeping it for her. Richard's new secretary, Hazel Forrest, gently persuades Miss Roberts to open the box, with her accepting Lady Marjorie is gone; she breaks down into sobs saying she tried to save her.

Richard had hired Hazel Forrest to type the biography of his father-in-law, the old Earl of Southwold, which he is writing. She and James fall in love and eventually marry. Hazel, from a respectable middle-class family, becomes mistress of the household. She and James are happy for a time but grow apart due to their differing backgrounds. Their estrangement is worsened by Hazel's miscarriage in the spring of 1914.

Georgina Worsley, James's cousin, comes to live with the Bellamys at Christmas 1913, aged 18. Georgina is the orphaned stepdaughter of Lady Marjorie's brother Hugo. She befriends Daisy, the new parlour maid. Georgina decides she and Daisy should take food from the pantry to give to Daisy's struggling family. She is shocked to discover that Daisy's family live in miserable, abject poverty.

Rose, the head houseparlourmaid, is shocked when Alfred, the Bellamys' former footman, turns up at Eaton Place one night. He claims that he has been sacked by his former employer and is homeless. She agrees to hide him in one of the basement rooms, but is horrified when it later transpires Alfred is actually on the run from the police having murdered his previous employer. After taking Edward hostage in the coal cellar, Alfred is arrested and eventually hanged for murder. The following year, Rose briefly becomes engaged to an Australian sheep-farmer named Gregory Wilmot whom she meets on a tram. She agrees to move to Australia with him, but at embarkation she discovers that he has a wife in Australia and decides to remain in the life she knows at Eaton Place, a plot line that echoes the story "[[Eveline (short story)|Eveline]]" in [[James Joyce]]'s ''[[Dubliners]]''.

Richard, who has sold the house's lease to James after Lady Marjorie's death (all her money passed on to James and Elizabeth), makes money after a share tip-off from a member of his [[gentleman's club]]. Richard later is accused unjustly of [[insider dealing]]. It is only Hazel's and Hudson's intervention that saves his career and reputation. This plot was inspired by the [[Marconi scandal]] of 1912.

During a visit to Somerby, the country house of James's school-friend Lord "Bunny" Newbury in the autumn of 1913, Edward unwittingly becomes a witness in an impending divorce when he spies rising Tory MP Lord Charles Gilmour leaving the bedroom of a fellow MP's wife. Edward is pressured to change his story, but he refuses, and the case is withdrawn due to Richard's influence.

The servants are offered a day's holiday in [[Herne Bay, Kent|Herne Bay]] in Kent in August 1914. They enjoy a rare day out together. Hudson is persuaded to sing on the vaudeville stage but their enjoyment is curtailed by an announcement that Germany has invaded Belgium. Hudson instead sings "[[Rule Britannia]]". Back in London, they gather to mark the hour when Britain goes to war.

In the Christmas episode, "Goodwill to All Men", Cathleen Nesbitt returns for a second and final appearance as Lady Southwold.

=== Series Four (set 1914–1918) ===
James serves in World War I, is seriously injured in a trench battle and brought home, amid much difficulty, to recover. He is nursed by his step-cousin Georgina, who now volunteers as a [[Voluntary Aid Detachment|VAD Nurse]] and serves in France during the war. Georgina and James develop a close understanding and affection during the war but do not go so far as to become lovers. Downstairs, Edward signs up and fights in the trenches, Hudson serves as a [[Special Constable]], Rose works as a bus conductress, and Ruby leaves Eaton Place to work in a munitions factory in [[Silvertown]], returning to service after the [[Silvertown explosion]]. Hazel, unknowingly echoing her late mother-in-law Lady Marjorie, has a brief affair with an [[Royal Flying Corps|RFC]] Lieutenant named Jack Dyson who, like herself, has risen from the ranks of the middle classes. He is killed while James is at home on leave. Rose meets up with Gregory Wilmot again. After overcoming their emotional and practical hurdles, she finally agrees to marry him on his return from the war and follow him to Australia. However, he is killed in action. Rose is heartbroken but Gregory has left her £1,275 in his will, enough to make her independent in her retirement. Edward returns, and while not physically wounded, suffers badly from [[shell shock]] and goes into hospital. He speaks to Richard, who comforts him, assuring him that mental wounds are as real as physical, and no mark on his character.

The fourth season ends in 1918 with the close of World War I. Both James and Georgina return from their wartime duties. Despite the celebration and relief that the war is over, Hazel, who is about 35 at this time, contracts [[Spanish flu|influenza in the worldwide pandemic]]. She dies, and the Bellamy household is devastated over her loss. Grief-stricken, James lets Georgina comfort him, but she stops him from any closeness. Richard is elevated to the [[House of Lords]] as Viscount Bellamy of Haversham in the New Year Honours List of 1919.

At the end of the fourth series Meg Wynn Owen left the show, with her character Hazel dying of influenza in the Spanish flu pandemic. The character of Virginia Hamilton, played by [[Hannah Gordon]], was introduced in the fourth series when she asked Richard for help in relation to her son.

=== Series Five (set 1919–1930) ===
According to Jean Marsh and Simon Williams, at the end of the fourth series they, along with other cast members, were eager to move on to other projects. However, with much persuasion by the producers and writers, they, along with the rest of the cast, agreed to do a fifth and final series showing the Bellamy family and staff entering the decade of the twenties and ending the series with the start of the Great Depression. During the final series, Marsh and Williams reduced their appearances on the show, both appearing in only 11 instalments out of the sixteen episodes produced. In addition, eight new cast members were added to the series, which included two servants, Frederick and Lily, played by Gareth Hunt and [[Karen Dotrice]]; Richard Bellamy's new wife, Virginia (played by Hannah Gordon); Virginia's two children Alice and William (Anne Yarker and Jonathan Seely); [[Shirley Cain]] as Miss Treadwell, the children's governess; Madeleine Cannon as Lady Dorothy (Dolly) Hale, Georgina's self-centred, catty, fair weather friend; and [[Anthony Andrews]] as Lord (Robert) Stockbridge, Georgina's fiancé and husband.

At the start of the fifth season, James still is grieving over Hazel's death. Richard has married a young widow named Virginia Hamilton, after the events of the fourth series when she asked Richard, along with his solicitor Sir Geoffrey Dillon ([[Raymond Huntley]]), to defend her son Michael, aged 17, who was facing a court martial charge for cowardice in the war. Michael was acquitted of the charges but was killed in the war shortly after. During that time, Richard and Virginia fell in love. In the first instalment of the fifth series, "On With The Dance", Richard and Virginia are just returning to London from their honeymoon. James is in a quandary because with only himself and Georgina living at Eaton Place, there is not enough for the servants to do and therefore, James feels he will have to dismiss them from their jobs and ultimately, sell the house. He tries to persuade Richard and Virginia to move in with him and Georgina, but Virginia is stubborn and adamant about finding a house of her own. Collaborating with Georgina, James invites Richard, Virginia, and her two children, Alice, aged 10 and William, aged 6, to tea. The house suddenly comes alive with their visit. James, Georgina, and the servants welcome them wholeheartedly to the point where Virginia is finally convinced that 165 Eaton Place is the perfect home for her family. As a result, she, Richard, and the children become residents of the house. Alice becomes very attached to Rose, who is soon given duties that keep her upstairs with the children and the new Lady Bellamy.

Downstairs, Edward and a pregnant Daisy have left Eaton Place and are replaced by Frederick (James's batman during the war) and Lily, respectively. Edward's job prospects are dim, and Daisy loses their baby due to malnutrition; both are re-hired at Eaton Place as chauffeur and house parlourmaid, respectively. Rose becomes children's maid and later lady's maid to Virginia.

In the fifth episode of that season, "Wanted: A Good Home", William is sent off to a boarding school while Alice resumes her schooling with Miss Treadwell. To compensate for William's absence, Rose gives Alice a dog, a cairn terrier named Thimble. While Lord and Lady Bellamy are away on a trip, Miss Treadwell quickly assumes the role as head of the house alienating the other servants as well as mentally and physically abusing Alice and the dog. Upon their return, Lord and Lady Bellamy dismiss Miss Treadwell and she leaves in disgust. Richard and Virginia then decide that Alice should go to a day school for her studies. After that instalment, Alice, William, and the dog are never seen again, but they are frequently referred to, and Alice returns for a brief appearance in the final episode.

Downstairs, romance blooms between Hudson and Lily, but she spurns him and Lily leaves her position in the seventh episode "Disillusion". Frederick leaves service at the Bellamy house in the eleventh instalment "Alberto" when he discovers the allure of escorting young upper-class women to balls and other functions. Also during this season, the roles played by actresses [[Jenny Tomasin]] and [[Joan Benham]] were expanded to show character depth. For Tomasin, the role of the childlike, simple-minded kitchen maid Ruby Finch was showcased in two episodes - the eighth instalment "Such A Lovely Man" where Ruby meets a man named Herbert through magazine correspondence, but rejects him because "he was no Rudolph Valentino"; and the fourteenth chapter of the series, "Noblesse Oblige" in which Ruby, fed up and disgusted with Mrs. Bridges's treatment of her, temporarily leaves her position at Eaton Place after they have a bitter quarrel. Benham's character of Lady Prudence Fairfax (or Pru as she was affectionately referred to) had been featured throughout the previous four series as a long time close friend of the Bellamy family who was a delightful social butterfly always welcome at family parties and events, as well as a harmless gossipy woman. However, in the fifth series, Benham was able to show another side of Lady Prudence - as a wise, kind, loyal, loving, and devoted friend to the Bellamys in two instalments - in the fourth episode "Joy Ride" and the eleventh episode "Alberto".

In the roaring 1920s, Georgina and her friends rebel against the depression and hard times of the post-war period, but her frivolity and merriment quickly end — first after the suicide of a friend who professed his love for her and threatened to kill himself unless she married him, and then killed himself during a Roaring 20s party at the Bellamy house. Second, Georgina accidentally kills a working class man after taking Richard's car without permission and driving it herself to compete in a scavenger hunt. Her friends, part of the moneyed, bored and pleasure-seeking "bright young things", desert her at the inquest. Only the rich but shallow Lady Dolly Hale and also the seemingly dull Lord Robert Stockbridge, heir to a dukedom, defend her. Georgina and Robert quickly fall in love. James suffers long-term emotional stress from his war experiences and Hazel's death. Restless, he stands for [[British House of Commons|Parliament]], but loses the election.

Lord Stockbridge's parents send their son on a trip around the world to try to wean him from Georgina, under the guise of helping him discover whether his feelings are true. James returns from America in October 1929, where he has visited Elizabeth and become rich through speculation on Wall Street. Rose allows James to invest the money Gregory left her when he died in the war, but the market crashes and James loses everything. James had also "borrowed a fair bit" that he now is unable to repay. He has disgraced his family and taken advantage of a member of staff who trusted him. Depressed and ashamed, he goes to a hotel in [[Maidenhead]] and kills himself.
 
The final episode, set in 1930, finds things looking up at Eaton Place as Georgina marries Lord Stockbridge on 12 June 1930. Mr Hudson and Mrs Bridges also finally marry, and take the uneducated but surprisingly shrewd kitchen maid, Ruby Finch, to the seaside with them, to run a guest house. When asked by Rose how she feels about becoming part of the Hudsons' household, Ruby says "They'll not last long, and I'll have guest house all to meself." Lord Bellamy has delivered his retirement speech to the House of Lords. He and Virginia retreat to a small villa in [[Dorset]], keeping Rose Buck in their employ. Young Edward and his wife, Daisy, are elevated to the posts of butler and head house parlourmaid in the country household of the marquess and new marchioness of Stockbridge.

The last scene shows Rose taking a final walk through the now empty rooms at 165 Eaton Place, which is for sale. She 'hears' in her head the voices of Lady Marjorie, Mr. Hudson, and others, as well as the many incidents she witnessed over the years. On hearing James reassuring her about Gregory's honourable death in the war echoing in her ears, she becomes spooked and hurriedly leaves through the front door.

((:List of Upstairs, Downstairs (1971 TV series) episodes))
''Upstairs, Downstairs'' ran for five series from 10 December 1971 to 21 December 1975. The first four series had thirteen episodes each, while the final series had sixteen. Due to an [[Colour Strike|industrial dispute]] over extra payments for using newly introduced colour equipment, during which broadcasting unions refused to allow their members to use colour cameras, the first six episodes of the first series were shot in black-and-white, and when colour production resumed, the first episode was remade in colour. Two endings were made, which could be shown depending on whether the black and white episodes were broadcast by the channel. The original black-and-white version of the first episode is believed to have been [[Lost television broadcast#Wiping|wiped]].

The opening credits of each episode featured a cartoon from the magazine ''[[Punch (magazine)|Punch]]'', and the lettering was drawn by the graphic designer Terry Griffiths. The theme tune was composed by [[Alexander Faris]] and titled ''The Edwardians''. It won an [[Ivor Novello Awards|Ivor Novello Award]].<ref name="updown.org"/> Part of this tune was made into the song ''[[What Are We Going to Do with Uncle Arthur?]]'', sung by [[Sarah Moffat|Sarah]], with lyrics written by Alfred Shaughnessy. Pauline Collins released this as a single in 1973. The theme tune was used as the processional march for the church wedding of Elizabeth and Lawrence in series 1, episode 13: ''For Love of Love''.

Many writers wrote episodes throughout the five series, including [[Alfred Shaughnessy]], [[John Hawkesworth (producer)|John Hawkesworth]], [[Fay Weldon]], [[Terence Brady (writer)|Terence Brady]] and [[Charlotte Bingham]], John Harrison, Julian Bond, [[Raymond Bowers (writer)|Raymond Bowers]], [[Jeremy Paul (screenwriter)|Jeremy Paul]], [[Rosemary Anne Sisson]], Anthony Skene and [[Elizabeth Jane Howard]].

==Production==
Each episode of ''Upstairs, Downstairs'' was made in a fortnightly production schedule. The book ''Inside Updown'' has a detailed production history. The first week and a half were spent rehearsing, with two days in the studio, and the latter part of the second day being used for recording.<ref name="Inside UpDown">((cite book|isbn=978-1-900203-13-5|title=Inside UpDown—The Story of Upstairs, Downstairs|publisher=Kaleidoscope Publishing|year=2005))</ref> Location footage was usually shot beforehand. The exterior shots of 165 Eaton Place were filmed at 65 Eaton Place with the "1" painted on.<ref name="Inside UpDown"/> ''Upstairs, Downstairs'' was one of the first major colour productions to be made by LWT.<ref name="Inside UpDown"/> Interior sequences were first recorded in LWT's [[Fountain Studios|first studio facility]] in Wembley in London, for all of series one and the episode "A Pair of Exiles" in series two. For the rest of series two, and for the remaining three series, the interior sequences were recorded in LWT's new studio complex named Kent House (later known as [[The London Studios]]) on London's Southbank.

[[Herne Bay, Kent|Herne Bay]] features in series three, episode thirteen "The Sudden Storm", when the staff take a day out to the seaside.<ref>((cite web|publisher=Kent Film Office|url=http://kentfilmoffice.co.uk/1974/01/upstairs-downstairs-the-sudden-storm-1974/|title=Kent Film Office Upstairs, Downstairs Article))</ref>

==Awards==
''Upstairs, Downstairs'' was nominated for and won many national and international awards, winning two BAFTA awards, two Royal Television Society awards, three Writers Guild Awards, eight Emmys, and a Golden Globe. It was nominated for a further seven BAFTAs, nine Emmys and four Golden Globes. It was nominated for the [[British Academy Television Awards|BAFTA Television Award]] for Best Drama Series in 1972, 1973, 1975, and 1976, winning in 1972 and 1974.

== Spin-offs ==
Following the final episode of ''Upstairs, Downstairs'' many ideas for spin-offs evolved. These included having the new [[List of Upstairs, Downstairs characters#Robert, Marquis of Stockbridge|Lord]] and [[Georgina Worsley|Lady Stockbridge]] buying back 165 Eaton Place and an American company wanted to make a programme based around Hudson and [[Rose Buck|Rose]] immigrating to the United States. [[Jack Webb]] was interested in a series of Marsh and Gordon Jackson reprising their roles as head of a Los Angeles employment agency.<ref>((cite news| url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/6284582/Upstairs-Downstairs-returns-to-BBC.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220112/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/6284582/Upstairs-Downstairs-returns-to-BBC.html |archive-date=12 January 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live | work=The Daily Telegraph | location=London | title=Upstairs Downstairs returns to BBC | first=Neil | last=Midgley | date=2009-10-10 | access-date=2010-05-27))((cbignore))</ref> Another idea, titled ''You Live or You Die'', was to have [[List of Upstairs, Downstairs characters#Frederick Norton|Frederick Norton]] seeking his fortune in the U.S. Another idea followed Hudson, [[Kate Bridges (Upstairs, Downstairs)|Mrs Bridges]] and [[Ruby Finch|Ruby]] running their seaside boarding house, and this probably would have been made had it not been for the death of [[Angela Baddeley]] on 22 February 1976. The only spin-off to make it onscreen was ''[[Thomas & Sarah]]'', broadcast in 1979, and it followed the adventures of [[Thomas Watkins|Thomas]] and [[Sarah Moffat|Sarah]] after they left Eaton Place. Although very popular, only one series was made as filming of a second series was postponed by strike action at ITV and never resumed. Only a few location scenes were shot and these were later wiped.

A short-lived series titled ''[[Beacon Hill (TV series)|Beacon Hill]]'', which aired in the fall of 1975, was loosely based upon ''Upstairs, Downstairs''; its executive producer, [[Beryl Vertue]], was Jean Marsh's literary agent and had been responsible for helping sell the original ''Upstairs, Downstairs'' to LWT.<ref>Bart Andrews and Brad Dunning, ''The Worst TV Shows Ever'' (New York: EP Dutton, 1980), pp. 7–14</ref>

In 2011, the BBC ran a series titled ''[[Royal Upstairs Downstairs]]'' in which [[Tim Wonnacott]] and [[Rosemary Shrager]] tour country houses visited by [[Queen Victoria]]. Tim tours the upstairs concentrating on the architecture and events of Victoria's visit, and Rosemary concentrates on the downstairs, demonstrating recipes cooked for the queen.

== Novelisations ==
Each series of ''Upstairs, Downstairs'' was accompanied by a novelisation, with additional detail in each, but also with some episodes missing. All books were published by [[Sphere Books]]. The novelisation of the first series, ''Upstairs, Downstairs or the secrets of an Edwardian household'', was written by John Hawkesworth and published in 1972. Hawkesworth also wrote the series two novelisation, ''In My Lady's Chamber'' and this was published in 1973. The following year, ''The Years of Change'', [[Mollie Hardwick|Mollie Hardwick's]] novelisation of the third series, was published and she also wrote the 1975 ''The War to End Wars'', the fourth series novelisation. The fifth series, which was longer than the others, was novelised in two books, both by [[Michael Hardwick]] and published in 1975. They were titled ''On with the Dance'' and ''Endings and Beginnings''.

As well as these novelisations, five books were separately published, again by Sphere Books, with each being the biography of a main character before the series started. ''Rose's Story'' was written by Terence Brady & Charlotte Bingham and published in 1972. The following year, Mollie Hardwick's ''Sarah's Story'' and Michael Hardwick's ''Mr Hudson's Diaries'' were both published. ''Mr Bellamy's Story'', by Michael Hardwick, was published in 1974 and ''Mrs Bridge's Story'' by Mollie Hardwick was published in 1975. Also in 1975, ''The Upstairs, Downstairs Omnibus'', featuring all five slightly edited stories, was published.

[[John Pearson (author)|John Pearson]] published ''The Bellamys of Eaton Place'' (a.k.a. ''The Bellamy Saga'') in 1976.

== Influence ==
The BBC series ''[[The Duchess of Duke Street]]'' is widely seen as the BBC's answer to ''Upstairs, Downstairs'', not least because some of the same producers and writers worked on it, and it has a theme tune by Faris. The 1990 BBC sitcom ''[[You Rang, M'Lord?]]'' also featured a similar situation. In 1975, an American version, titled ''[[Beacon Hill (TV series)|Beacon Hill]]'', debuted but due to low ratings it was soon cancelled, running for just thirteen episodes. [[Tom Wolfe]] called the series a [[plutography]], i.e. a "graphic depiction of the lives of the rich".<ref>((Cite news| last =Wolfe| first =Tom| author-link =Tom Wolfe| title =Snob's Progress| newspaper =New York Times| date =1986-06-15| url = https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9A0DE2DA1638F936A25755C0A960948260&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=4|access-date=2007-07-12))</ref>

A ''[[Monsterpiece Theater]]'' sketch on ''[[Sesame Street]]'', introduced/narrated by [[Cookie Monster]] (as Alistair Cookie, a play on [[Alistair Cooke]], who was at that time the host of ''Masterpiece Theater'') was titled ''Upstairs, Downstairs'' and featured [[Grover]] running up and down a staircase until collapsing from exhaustion.<ref>((cite web| publisher=YouTube| title=Sesame Street &ndash; Monsterpiece Theater: Upstairs Downstairs| url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7pGANh3vuU |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211222/R7pGANh3vuU |archive-date=2021-12-22 |url-status=live))((cbignore))</ref>

In 2000, a stop-motion animated series titled ''[[Upstairs, Downstairs Bears]]'', co-produced by Canada's [[Cinar]] and [[Scottish Television]] for the [[CITV]] block, was based upon ''Upstairs, Downstairs''.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.toonhound.com/upstairs.htm |title=Upstairs Downstairs Bears (2001-2002) |website=Toonhound.com |access-date=2016-11-15))</ref> Ironically, it happened to air on the last day of London Weekend Television's broadcasting under that brand (as part of the CITV block) on 27 October 2002; the next day LWT was subsumed into [[ITV London]].

[[Company Pictures]]' 2008 television series ''[[The Palace]]'' has been described as a "modern ''Upstairs, Downstairs''" as it features the points of view of both a fictional royal family and their servants.<ref>((cite news|first= Tara|last= Conlan|title= ITV commissions Buckingham Palace drama|url= https://www.theguardian.com/media/2007/jan/11/ITV.broadcasting|work= [[Media Guardian]]|date= 2007-01-11|access-date= 2007-12-27 | location=London))</ref>

From November 2008 to January 2010, variations (played in different styles, e.g., a fugue, jazz, calypso, death metal) of the theme music were played on BBC Radio 4's ''PM'' programme to introduce a segment titled "Upshares, Downshares", in which [[Nils Blythe]] ran through the day's business news.<ref>((cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/features/pm/upshares/ |title=The Upshares, Downshares theme tune |work=PM Blog |publisher=BBC |access-date=7 November 2011))</ref> In November 2010, with the composer [[Alexander Faris]]'s blessing, a special CD of collected versions was released to raise money for the charity [[Children in Need]].<ref>((cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/pm/2010/10/upshares_downshares_cd_how_do.shtml|title=Upshares Downshares CD.

The ITV series ''[[Downton Abbey]]'', which ran from 2010 to 2015, has many similarities with ''Upstairs, Downstairs.'' Both series depict a noble family and their servants in the context of some of the same historical events; certain storylines and characterisations also appear in both series.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.bostonglobe.com/arts/television/2014/01/02/for-upstairs-downstairs-fans-downton-brings-case-deja/ZWpPgRTYl1EGYUEeS7qrHN/story.html|title=For 'Upstairs Downstairs' fans, 'Downton' brings on déjà vu - The Boston Globe|website=BostonGlobe.com|language=en-US|access-date=2020-04-05))</ref> In 2019, ''Downton Abbey's'' executive producer [[Gareth Neame]] acknowledged the inspiration, stating that upon watching ''Upstairs, Downstairs'' for the first time as an adult, he realised that "there's two generations now who have got something new to be exposed to” because they had never seen ''Upstairs, Downstairs''.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/dbloom/2019/10/23/downton-abbey-executive-producer-on-turning-a-tv-hit-into-a-movie-hit-and-whats-next/|title='Downton Abbey' Executive Producer On Turning A TV Hit Into A Movie Hit, And What's Next|last=Bloom|first=David|website=Forbes|language=en|access-date=2020-04-05))</ref>

== Revival ==
((Main|Upstairs Downstairs (2010 TV series)))
In 2009, the BBC announced it was to broadcast a revival of the series, with Jean Marsh reprising her role as Rose alongside a new cast in the same Eaton Place household. The series was created and written by [[Heidi Thomas]]. The first series aired from 26 December 2010. Eileen Atkins appeared in the first series, but left her role before production on the second series began.

== Home media ==
=== Region One DVDs===
''Upstairs, Downstairs'' was first released to Region One DVD in December 2001 by A&E Home Entertainment. During 2002, it released the remaining series and then released ''[[Thomas and Sarah]]'' on DVD in 2004. The individual releases have  been collected into two boxed sets, the second of which, ''The Collector's Edition Megaset'', also includes ''Thomas and Sarah''. These are all out of print. In 2011, Acorn Media released ''Upstairs Downstairs: The Ultimate Collection'', which includes ''Thomas and Sarah'' and 25 hours of special features in a 40th anniversary, 26-disc set.

Network Video released the entire programme series-by-series from 2005 to 2006. The episodes were remastered and the black-and-white episodes were put in chronological order in the first series. Some episodes also featured audio commentaries, the LWT logo, [[commercial bumper]]s and the original preceding countdowns. In addition, each series was accompanied by a special one-hour documentary relating to that series featuring new and archive interviews. The fifth series release also featured the 1975 documentary ''[[Russell Harty]] goes... "Upstairs, Downstairs"''. In 2006, a boxed set featuring all the DVDs was released.

DVDs of the series have also been released in Denmark, Finland, Germany, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden.
