Saw this when it was recently televised - so good I couldn't wait to see it again.
This is QUALITY, people. Superb cast, fabulous sets. Can you believe they wheeled out Rose from the original series??? She must be about 90 but looks only a few years older than she did in the original. You will love this - the only thing you'll hate is that the whole new series only goes for three episodes. You will want more.

Throughly enjoyed this series after watching the original all those years ago.

Not as good as the original. Very modern with sexual references which would never have happened in the old you. If you don't think of it as a totally new series and not relating to the old upstairs, downstairs you will enjoy it.
