View Stewart's design sketches and get insights on making over 165 Eaton Place for the new "Upstairs Downstairs."
The saga continues at 165 Eaton Place with new characters upstairs and down in a three-part sequel to the much-loved MASTERPIECE series from the 1970s titled "Upstairs Downstairs."
Jean Marsh returns as Rose with a stellar cast including Dame Eileen Atkins (“Cranford”), Keeley Hawes ("MI-5"), Ed Stoppard (“Any Human Heart”), Claire Foy (“Little Dorrit”) and Ellie Kendrick (“The Diary of Anne Frank”). Set in 1936, the lives of masters and servants have never been so captivating. Laura Linney hosts.
In the second episode, a German-Jewish refugee comes to 165 Eaton Place as a maid, prompting a range of reactions from upstairs and down. Her experiences culminate in a crisis tied to the fascist movement sweeping Britain.
This episode originally aired in 2011. The first episode airs at 9 p.m. before Part Two, and Part Three will follow at 11 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 30, 2012.
