UPSTAIRS, DOWNSTAIRS

Upstairs, Downstairs is a British drama television series of the 70s but really base on the early 1900s and late 1800s. By Upstairs we understand that they mean to the masters and in consequence Downstairs refers to the servents. Upstairs, Downstairs shows important historical moments that where set in that time.

 

 This episode named “Guest of Honour” is about how the family and the servants are preparing for the arrival of the King. Edward VII became king on the death of Queen Victoria in 1901. Although he wasn´t a young man he became the head of England. This King is known for his 5-time-meals per day, no wonder why the hurry with the food. Everything is perfect; the food, decoration, clothes. They all are just waiting for the Guest of Honour.

I could notice in a big amount the value of respect. You literally can see how every one is threaten with so much respect. Even the servants! I thought they were like inferiors or animals for their bosses. But, as we can see in this episode I was wrong. Some TV series have made of us fools because they don’t show how things really happened.  

I was stunned with the Lady´s outfits! Love her dresses and necklaces. And as Rose Buck would say: God Bless my Soul!
