I watched the entire series, plus every rerun when it was shown in the US in the 1970s and loved it. I decided to treat myself with the boxed DVD set since the actors in this series are so perfectly cast and like family. They are one of my go-to DVDs when I need a Comfort Food story to look at. I especially love the period when the Bellamy family and the downstairs family are going through WWI; Mrs. Bridges & Ruby going to a War Cookery lecture and making "Win the War Pie" for the servant's meal; it is nearly inedible to all but Ruby & Mrs. Bridges. So many wonderful moments and the series comes to the right ending. The film has faded to a degree, but pretty much looks the way I remember it in the 70s when first shown here. I'm so glad to have it in my collection, for I will be watching it over and over. Thanks for the memories.
