For those who like British drama, one cannot find much better than the series entitled "Upstair Downstairs".  It protrays a fictional family and their servants living through the peaceful times of the 1910's, through WWI, and on until the early 1930's.  It is a great story and wonderful acting and directing.  The characters are truely believable and "alive"!  My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the series, and have recommended it to our friends.
