Title: Rerelease coming 10/25/05, hopefully with better video quality
Review: As others have noted this first release of Upstairs, Downstairs had a horrible transfer to DVD (see e.g., http://www.updown.org.uk/dvdus.htm). It had the video quality of a VHS tape of a city council meeting aired on a cable public access channel. Hardly worthy of one of the most memorable and beloved series in TV history. A new DVD release of this wonderful series is coming 10/25/05. Based upon the supplements announced with the new release, one can hope that the video in the new release will be notably better than in this collection.
Is the review positive or negative?
