The scandals and intrigues really mount up in this volume,from those concerning Elizabeth's new marriage, to Hudson's mysterious behaviour and the consequences of a lapse on Lady Marjorie's part some years before! Fay Weldon's 'Your Obedient Servant' is a pithy, uproarious joy from start to finish, while 'Property Of A Lady' is a brilliantly-plotted caper that brought Alderton and Collins to the fore and virtually guaranteed them their own spin-off series. (see 'Thomas And Sarah') Also included is the most famous and popular episode, 'Guest Of Honour', in which the Guest of the title is not the only person to arrive at the Bellamy house that night... An absolute pleasure to watch.

LWT were very brave to devote the whole fourth series to The War, but after watching this I can say that the risk more than paid off. Here we have a view if the war not often seen on TV, as most of the episodes concern those left behind. Not one of the regular characters remains untouched by the terrible events, almost always with heartbreaking consequences.But don't let that put you off; the stories are very moving but not depressing...the writing and performances make sure of that, as do the moments of humour that are never far away. In this and the following volume, the series was at the height of its powers. If you want a drama you can really feel involved by, look no further.

This video is well worth watching."Duchess" fans will not be disappointed. Bringing the first series to an end, each episode left me looking forward to the next time I could plan an hour to myself without the usual family distractions. Much of the action is away from the hotel, reflecting Louisa's success in achieving financial and social standing (up to a point!)The final episode could have signalled the end of the story - loose ends were tied up and there were no cliffhangers. However, there is a second series -hurray! Just one word of caution - although this video could be enjoyed independently of its predecessors, I would recommend you start from the beginning to fully appreciate the developing storylines.

6.Upstairs Downstairs - The Second Series - Episodes 8 To 13 [1971] starring: John Alderton, Angela Baddeley, Christopher Beeny, Joan Benham, Madeleine Cannon directed by: Bill Bain, Christopher Hodson, Derek Bennett, Raymond Menmuir May 01, 2000

Overall, less fun, perhaps, than episodes 1-7; though a loose trilogy begins with the deeply shocking 'A Special Mischief' which throws up some real surprises along the way. The production values, acting and writing are all up to the usual high standards, of course. It is the last episode that really stands out, though: it casts a chilling shadow across the rest of the series and culminates in the death of the King, forewarning us in the process that things will never be the same from now on...

Watching this wonderful series again from the start one is able to see the development between seasons of the series' greatest strengths. Let's face it: it was always the characters. But rarely is the character of Hazel Forrest/Bellamy given much of a mention and yet her gentle integration into the series is one of the highlights of the 5 seasons. Hazel is unique amongst the regulars in that she is really neither "upstairs" or ""downstairs" and has to win acceptance and credibility from both factions in the house. How she accomplishes this is at the crux of these episodes. Much praise is due to Meg Wynn Owen's performance offering both vulnerability and courage, but very much the latter as she grows in confidence. A real treat and the ... Read More:

8.Upstairs Downstairs - The Missing Black And White Episodes [1971] starring: John Alderton, Angela Baddeley, Christopher Beeny, Joan Benham, Madeleine Cannon directed by: Bill Bain, Christopher Hodson, Derek Bennett, Raymond Menmuir April 08, 2002

A truly fascinating insight into the first formative weeks of this groundbreaking and successful series, this tape comprises the rarely-seen early episodes made in black and white due to industrial action in the early 1970s. These show the Bellamy household in an edgy state of flux, with many characters (and even rooms)coming and going. The standout episode is probably the second, with its razor-sharp script by feminist writer Maureen Duffy.These episodes are quite unlike the later ones in many respects.Also included in colour is the original opening episode, with its ending mercifully intact...this is why 'Series 1-The Colour Edition' didn't quite make sense within its own continuity! A must-have.

Tensions appearing in James' new marriage... new arrivals struggling to fit in...scandals threatening to wreck lives and careers... and an impossible decision for Rose. As if all this weren't enough, the series ends on a certain day in August 1914, so it's surprising that this volume doesn't feel really depressing. As ever, this is a testament to the sheer skill of all involved in front of and behind the cameras, and the series rises to new heights. And yes, there's still plenty to smile at and enjoy...but has there ever been a more downbeat end to a season's run than the final shot of Episode 13? Essential viewing.
