   When did 'Upstairs Downstairs' start?

   • As a number of today’s PBS viewers believe that British drama began in 2010, when both Downton Abbey and Sherlock burst onto the small screen, we here at Tellyspotting thought it was time to step inside Mister Peabody’s WABAC Machine, set the dial for 1971 and pay a visit to 165 Eaton Place, the fictional home of Upstairs Downstairs.

   Is Upstairs Downstairs worth watching now?

   • One I remember fondly from my childhood is the original Upstairs, Downstairs (1971-1975), having seen the last few seasons on PBS and in repeats. Catching the series now, it’s just as entertaining and rather enlightening to see exactly how much this series influenced everything that came after.

   Was Downton Abbey based on upstairs?

   • Of course, when Downton Abbey began, a revival of Upstairs, Downstairs was in the works, causing a ruckus in the press.

   • When we began Upstairs, Downstairs, privilege was a dirty word and the writers, notably Fay Weldon, spiced up the scripts with political grit: toffs = snooty; servants = heroic. (It was, incidentally, the BBC’s leaden politicisation of the 2010-12 remake of Upstairs, Downstairs that wrecked it.)
