Masterpiece: Upstairs, Downstairs (AV Product) DVD

AV Benefits:

Why the AV version? Because it provides additional usage options for PBS videos. AV versions come with limited performance rights so they can be shown in classrooms, at PTA meetings, during after school programs, and transmitted on a closed-circuit system within a building or on a single campus. They also can be enjoyed in admission-free public screenings, which also makes them ideal for use by library patrons and businesses involved in community clubs and organizations.

Description

• One of the most loved television series of all time comes back to life with a stellar cast and a lavish story full of romance and intrigue.
  
  1936. The house at 165 Eaton Place has stood empty since the Bellamy family sold it six years earlier. But now the doors have finally been flung open by new owners: diplomat Sir Hallam, his wife Lady Agnes, and--back from the Raj--his mother Maud, Lady Holland (Dame Eileen Atkins). And who better than Rose (Jean Marsh), the house's former parlor maid, to recruit the new staff?
  
  Before long, both the elegant upstairs world and the downstairs staff have built their own intricate labyrinths of secrets, lies, and scandal. As they feel the tremors of royal and political upheaval--and the ominous threat of war--the house reverberates to the familiar sounds of rumor, excitement, and anticipation.
