Don’t be afraid at the size of this 21-disc box set; think of it as an investment that you will be enjoying for 57 hours (not to mention 25+ hours of extras). And you won’t be bored for a single minute of it. This landmark BBC series perfectly captured life in Edwardian England by telling the stories of the rich and powerful — those who lived ‘upstairs’ — and those of the people who served them — the ones who spent their lives ‘downstairs.’ What made it so engrossing is the way each episode reveals how the two classes interacted with each other, formally and informally, and how those exchanges changed their lives no matter what class they represented.
