Product Details
One of the most loved television series of all time is brought back to life
with a stellar cast and a story full of scandal, romance and intrigue set
against a sweeping historical backdrop.
1936. The house at 165 Eaton Place has stood empty since the Bellamy family sold
it six years earlier. Now the doors are finally flung open by new owners,
diplomat Sir Hallam, his wife Lady Agnes, and, back from the Raj, Maud, Lady
Holland, his mother. With the arrival of Agnes’s debutante sister, Lady Persie,
the sumptuous home is ready to come to life.
And who better than Rose, the house’s former parlourmaid, to recruit the new
staff? The new 'downstairs' family is as full of characters as its previous
incarnation with the highly strung butler Mr Pritchard, cook Mrs Thackeray,
chauffeur Harry Spargo and a vivacious and spirited young team.
Soon both the elegant upstairs world and the downstairs staff have built their
own labyrinth of secrets, lies and scandal, and as they feel the tremors of
royal and political upheaval and the ominous threat of war, the house
reverberates to the familiar sounds of rumour, excitement and dread…
