Negative Positive
Title: A Series Unlike Any Other
Review: Upstairs, Downstairs is a show that is completely unique, compelling and addictive. Even being over 30 years old, it is still as good today as it was then. It is also extremely accurate in the logistics and history of the time period the show is set in.Given the age of the show and technical issues of the time, the DVD quality is good. There was a strike in Britain at the time causing several episodes to be shot in black and white. Those episodes did not air in the US during the show's original run as PBS only wanted to air color episodes. As a result, a second, slightly different version of the pilot episode (originally in black and white) was reshot in color specifically for PBS. The original black and white episodes that were omitted were later aired on PBS in the late 80s as "lost episodes."
