For years I was hoping to one day be able to see this series.  I have been watching for a few weeks and I am almost finished.  Watching Downton Abby gave me reason to order it now.  I must say this although it has nothing to do with my purchase, While watching Upstairs, Downstairs I realize how many similarities with Downton Abby......hmmm Never-the-less love Upstairs, Downstairs.
