Editor's Note
Featuring all 68 episodes of this groundbreaking television series, this release is testament to the fact that UPSTAIRS DOWNSTAIRS has been seen by over one billion people worldwide. Critics of the show predicted that it would be a flop, believing it to be too old fashioned and not commercial enough. One Golden Globe and nine Emmys later the critics were proved wrong, and the show continued to go from strength to strength, becoming the most popular show of all time on PBS Masterpiece Theatre. The story of the Bellamy family has captivated audiences for decades, and this is the definitive set of episodes for any fan of the show. Also included on this release is a retrospective featurette UPSTAIRS DOWNSTAIRS REMEMBERED: THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL, and some shows not previously aired on television.
