This seminal British television series is just as enjoyable now as when it first aired in the early 1970s. Richard, Lady Marjorie, and their son James comprise the aristocratic Bellamy family that reside upstairs while their loyal servants maintain the household from downstairs. The series follows the upper-class family's troubles as times change and the ongoing lives of their resilient staff. Clean, clear, and presented in order, the third season's 13 episodes follow the London household through the prewar years (1912-1914).
In these episodes, Hudson (Gordon Jackson) gives notice over James's (Simon Williams) luncheon with his father's typist, Miss Forrest (Meg Wynn Owen), who helps run the household after Lady Marjorie dies aboard the R.M.S. Titanic. Tensions again erupt when another family strives to hire Hudson away and Miss Forrest refuses James's marriage proposal, afraid of a past secret. Former servant Alfred reappears, taking a hostage when Hudson discovers he is wanted for murder, and a French countess is romantically interested in Richard's money until James exposes the truth. James's new wife, Hazel Forrest, resolves a stock-trading scandal, but remains uneasy with her new society position, particularly while fox hunting at Lord and Lady Newbury's country estate. A disregard for class differences nearly ends in disaster during Georgina Worsley's (Lesley-Anne Down) holiday visit, and a casual remark by the Bellamys' footman Edward erupts into a scandal that threatens Parliament's Tory constituency. Rose (Jean Marsh) almost marries an Australian sheep farmer, and James's rocky marriage must survive Hazel's miscarriage. In July 1914, when war looms, James looks to rejoin his regiment to escape his troubled marriage; Mrs. Bridges (Angela Baddeley) has a suitor and two servants, Edward and Daisy, defy the downstairs' rules by falling in love. --Tara Chace

The third season of Upstairs Downstairs brings some sad but needed changes. Marjorie Bellamy goes down in the Titanic, Hazel Forrest becomes Richard Bellamy's typist and Hudson, the butler, almost quits. James becomes interested in Hazel, but, at first, she rejects him. Marjorie Bellamy's maid reappears. It was thought that she had been killed along with her mistress. The actress playing the maid gives an excellent performance. You can really feel her pain and confusion as she tells the story of ... Read More

The Upstairs Downstairs series was excellent. I purchase the entire series and I enjoyed every one.

Upstairs Downstairs is TV's greatest programme. Season Three
depicts the years of 1912, 1913 and 1914. This set of shows
begins with UP's best charector Lady Marjorie Bellamy dying
in the Titanic disaster. James marries his father, Sir Richard
s typist, Miss Hazel Forrest. The marrage turns out to be a
disaster. But it survives all of Season Three. Other popular
storylines include Richard being tried for illegal stock trades
,Rose falling in love with a ... Read More

Which is not to say that this is in any sense bad television, I just find the 3rd Series of USDS to be the most melodramatic. It certainly is a transitional season, which is never easy, with the introductions of three major new characters and the entrance/exit of scores of peripheral characters and story lines. There is a lot of busy-ness here without as much to show for it at the end of the season. Failed romances for Rose, Mrs. Bridges and Sir Richard? A miscarriage between episodes? It seems ...

The third season of UPSTAIRS DOWNSTAIRS continues the lives of the Bellamy family and their servants of Eaton Place. The time is now 1912, and the Edwardian era is over and the new age of ragtime and the 'flying machine' is on the horizon...
"Miss Forrest" - It is a time of change at Eaton Place. We learn that Elizabeth has moved to America, and James (Simon Williams) has broken off his engagement to Phyllis Kingman. Richard (David Langton) is busy writing a political biography of Lord ... Read More
