Upstairs, Downstairs

Season 3 (13 Episodes)

5 Seasons 1973 TV-14 1h 00m 8.4

The lives and fortunes of the Bellamy family and their below-stairs servant staff at 165 Eaton Place play out against the social, political and historical backdrop of Edwardian London from 1903 to 1930.

The series follows the lives of both the family and the servants in the London townhouse at 165 Eaton Place. Richard Bellamy, the head of the household, is a member of Parliament, and his wife is a member of the titled aristocracy. Belowstairs, Hudson, the Scottish butler, directs and guides the other servants about their tasks and (sometimes) their proper place. Real-life events from 1903-1930 are incorporated into the stories of the Bellamy household.
