In London, Mary gains a shocking insight, and her Aunt Rosamund — displaying a more than passing resemblance to her mother, Violet — freely dispenses dubious advice to Mary. Meanwhile, Thomas and O'Brien enlist the reluctant, smitten Daisy to bring about Bates' downfall, but Bates seems determined to do it himself, much to the distress of Anna, who finds an opportunity to delve into Bates' past. Concerned about the security of her position, O'Brien sets her spite on a new target, and a misunderstanding provokes a dangerous act of sabotage. Again, Downton is to be hobbled by the entail.
And don't forget the PBS shop where DVDs are available for this series as well as past series such as Cranford, the Jane Austen collection and other classics. Our personal favorite on Masterpiece Theatre - The Cazalets, is available at the shop as well as at Amazon.
Update: For those who lived through the original spell-binder, Upstairs Downstairs, the resumption of the story can be looked ahead to on April 10, 17 & 24, 2011 at 9pm
Upstairs Downstairs
(Three 60-minute episodes)
Watch the full episode. See more Masterpiece.
It's 1936, and sweeping away the cobwebs from the most famous address in Masterpiece history, a new couple moves into 165 Eaton Place. Thus resumes the romantic, moving and epic story of Upstairs Downstairs, more than three decades after its last episode on PBS. With a script by acclaimed screenwriter Heidi Thomas (Cranford), the stellar cast of Upstairs Downstairs includes the original series creators Eileen Atkins (Cranford) and Jean Marsh (Sense and Sensibility) along with Claire Foy (Little Dorrit) and Art Malik (The Jewel In The Crown) among others.
