Product Details
Created by Upstairs, Downstairs' Alfred Shaughnessy, this major
series charts the fortunes of a fictional aristocratic family, the Bournes of
Larkfield Manor, through the turbulent years leading up to the Second World War
- an upheaval that would change their world forever.
A huge success for ITV, 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.
As storm clouds gather in Europe, the Bourne girls remain preoccupied with the
quest for husbands; Vicky hopes to marry German émigré Klaus, and her sister
Liz's stormy relationship causes concern for their father, Arthur. Shockwaves
from disturbing events abroad are also felt at Larkfield, as Arthur finds
himself characterised as a Nazi apologist and Vicky's closest friend Laura
returns from Munich with an unsettling new sense of purpose...
