Upstairs Downstairs Collector’s Edition Directed by Bill Bain & Dereck Bennett, 2005

Following its television debut in 1971, UPSTAIRS DOWNSTAIRS quickly became one of television’s most enduring achievements. Over five brilliant seasons, millions of enthralled viewers made 165 Eaton Place their home away from home. Upstairs, the Bellamy family negotiated the scandals and successes of the English aristocracy, while downstairs, their loyal staff took a much livelier approach facing the challenges of their own lives. Together, their stories made TV magic.

Universally recognized as one of the most successful and important shows in television history, the landmark series UPSTAIRS DOWNSTAIRS received 9 Emmys , a Golden Globe and a Peabody , among numerous other awards. Its popular spin-off THOMAS & SARAH followed the delightful up-and-down adventures of two former Bellamy employees as they made a go of it on their own in pursuit of extravagant dreams.

Revisit these two classic shows in this ultimate collector’s set featuring all eighty-one original episodes, digitally re-mastered for presentation on 24 DVDs. This special collector’s edition also includes the rarely seen retrospective Upstairs Downstairs Remembered: The 25th Anniversary Special.
