| Upstairs Downstairs | comment |
Upstairs Downstairs is a British (produced by London Weekend Television for ITV) period drama that ran from 1971 to 1975 (with a Revival in 2010; see below). It details the lives of the well-to-do Bellamy family of 165 Eaton Place and their staff of servants between the years of 1903 to 1930. Created by Jean Marsh (Rose Buck) and Eileen Atkins, who were tired of period dramas where the servants were voiceless extras.Downton Abbey was its Spiritual Successor. | |

End of an Age | |
| Upstairs Downstairs / int_1bc2e445 | comment |
End of an Age: The series chronicles the slow decline of Victorian society in the face of modernity. This is lampshaded a few times near the end of the series: Richard, in his last argument with James, says Britain fought the war to preserve the world it knew. In the final episode, shortly after the Viscountess remarks that no one can afford servants anymore with the whole staff in earshot, Mr. Hudson observes to them all when they are alone: | |

Convenient Miscarriage | |
| Upstairs Downstairs / int_51509ce7 | comment |
Convenient Miscarriage: Twice; justified, as infant mortality was much higher in 1909 and 1914. Both Sarah's pregnancies were real pregnancies of the actress, Pauline Collins, with her husband, John Alderton, who himself played Thomas Watkins, who was the father of the second baby. Although, the outcome of the second pregnancy is never known in the context of the show. It is known only by viewers of the spin-off Thomas and Sarah. In real life, both pregnancies (and a third, after the show was over), went just fine. | |

Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds | |
| Upstairs Downstairs / int_7ec94d53 | comment |
Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Deconstructed; Spargo's belief in fascism is rooted in his hatred of the class system in England and his disdain for the social isolation that exists between the help and their employers. Ironically, Hallam DOES interact with Spargo and starts to break down the walls between employer and employee, until he finds out Spargo's political beliefs. Beliefs that are then severely damaged when Persephone, who DOES treat Spargo like a human being AND is sympathetic towards his right wing beliefs, dumps him for the German ambassador after the two hook up. In season two, Spargo has renounced fascism and gotten himself a new girlfriend; but with World War II on the horizon and Spargo accidentally catching Persie and Hallam making out, he blackmails Hallam into giving him the cash to flee to America with his girlfriend. Then Persie shoots said girlfriend and kills herself. Spargo then gives the money back to Hallam, having been shamed by his actions though having regained Hallam's trust and forgiveness as Hallam tells Spargo that he is willing to forget the whole blackmail thing | |

Present-Day Past: Many of the woman's clothing and interior sets have colours and patterns that belonged much more in the late 1960's and early 1970's than Edwardian England. Notably, Lady Marjorie's dresses in season 1 and the chocolate brown and baby blue trimmed walls of one house. Also an example of Hollywood Costuming. | |

Rewrite: The First Season ended in the setting of the year 1909, but it was deemed important to keep the storyline within the reign of Edward VII, who died the next year. So, although the Second Season continued its developed storylines, it reversed the chronology to the year 1908. | |

Big Bad | |
| Upstairs Downstairs / int_970c790a | comment |
Big Bad: Persie is the cause of most of the trouble on the show, directly or indirectly. She embarrasses Hallam by flirting publicly with Joachim von Ribbentrop in front of much of London society at a party. She encourages Harry Spargo's interest in fascism. She runs away to Germany, where she becomes the girlfriend of an SS officer and then starts a sordid affair with Hallam that ends up ruining Hallam and Agnes's marriage (she eventually rubs the affair in Agnes's face and implies that her abortion was because she was pregnant by Hallam instead of Friedrich during their fight in the series finale). The revelation of her past relationship with Harry Spargo nearly causes Beryl to break up with him. She uses her relationship with Hallam to glean British government and military secrets, which she passes to the Nazis; the cloud of suspicion and scandal surrounding him force him to resign his position and nearly destroy his whole career. Her suicidal gesture with a gun after it's clear that neither Hallam, Friedrich nor Harry will have anything to do with her any more leads to her accidentally shooting and nearly killing Beryl, thus preventing Beryl and Harry from emigrating to America as they hoped. Her suicide brings further scandal to the family and heartbreak to Agnes. She's cruel to Pamela (because of her disability) and to Blanche (because she's a lesbian). Her constant drama disrupts everyone's lives over and over. | |

Never My Fault | |
| Upstairs Downstairs / int_973d220f | comment |
Never My Fault: In season 2, Hallam blames just about everyone but himself for his marital problems and Agnes drifting away from him. This reaches its peak when he starts a fight with another man over the mistaken belief that said man was having an affair with Agnes (both of them truthfully told him they weren't) and then insists that it was Agnes's fault, that she somehow orchestrated the scenario to have two men fight over her honour. | |

Old Retainer: Hudson, Rose and Mrs Bridges all came from the Southwold Estate and have served the Bellamy family for more than thirty years without appearing to age at all. Other servants come and go - Ruby and Edward being pretty long-standing - but these three are rather immortal and look like they will outlive even Sir Richard... Rose actually does outlive Sir Richard, though it's implied that the shock of James killing himself finished Richard off too. | |

Happiness in Slavery | |
| Upstairs Downstairs / int_a58802b7 | comment |
Happiness in Slavery: Hudson, with type 3. Not only does he believe it is his moral duty to BE a servant to the aristocracy, but he believes anyone existing outside the Peerage/servant arrangement, (tradesmen in one rant), is the "scum of the earth" and all of society will collapse because of them. | |

Animated Adaptation | |
| Upstairs Downstairs / int_a68421bb | comment |
Animated Adaptation: Called The Upstairs, Downstairs Bears, and it aired on ITV's CITV block in the early 2000s. (Somewhat ironically, it aired on the final day of LWT under its' own brand in 2002; it even featured in their recreated startup sequence.) | |

Madonna-Whore Complex | |
| Upstairs Downstairs / int_b097493c | comment |
Madonna-Whore Complex: Laurence's problem. He has no problem having sex with a "bad" woman like his snarky, experienced bohemian girlfriend Evelyn, but he idealizes his virginal aristocratic bride Elizabeth as "pure" to the point where he refuses to have sex with her and tells her that she's "morbid" for wanting sex. | |

Happily Married: Marjorie and Richard. The two are so happily married that they even - admittedly offscreen - tell each other to remarry if the other dies. Richard later does and is very happy with Virginia. | |

Law of Inverse Fertility | |
| Upstairs Downstairs / int_f4f3252e | comment |
Law of Inverse Fertility: Subverted, played straight and then ultimately played for drama in the case of Elizabeth. She very much wishes to have a baby with her husband in season 2, but he refuses to sleep with her. However, the very first time she eventually has sex, she conceives. Unfortunately, the man she slept with was not her husband, and she definitely did not want to find out she was having his child while trying to get her marriage annulled on grounds of it never being consummated. Later on, she must then deal with having to raise a baby she is ashamed to have had. | |
