Upstairs, Downstairs is a British television drama series originally produced by London Weekend Television (LWT) and revived by the BBC. It ran on ITV in 68 episodes divided into five series from 1971 to 1975.Set in a large townhouse in Belgravia in London, the series depicts the servants "downstairs" and their masters-the family "upstairs" between the years 1903 to 1930, and shows the slow decline of the British aristocracy. Great events feature prominently in the episode but minor or gradual changes are also noted.
The series is a document of the social and technological changes that occurred between those 27 years, including the Edwardian period, the Suffragettes, First World War, the Roaring Twenties and the Wall Street Crash.
The show received outstanding acclaim worldwide winning multiple awards and was a rating hit for ITV.
