Product Details
Created by Upstairs Downstairs' Alfred Shaugnessy, The Cedar Tree is a study
of one fictional aristocratic family, the Bournes of Larkfield Manor, focusing
particularly on daughters Elizabeth (21), Anne (18), and Victoria (16).
Dependent on their parents for income and bound by the remnants of the previous
century's code of social behaviour, they represent a small backwater of
Thirties' life. The girls' great hope is to find a suitable husband, and their
expectations are high; but who is to know that what awaits all women at the end
of the 'Devil's Decade' is war?
A huge success for ITV in the 1970s, The Cedar Tree picked up
the reigns for classy period drama from Upstairs Downstairs and is the precursor
to today's highly popular costume dramas such as Cranford and
Downton Abbey.
