The Wilcox family = High class
The open-minded elder sister with a great heart, the annoying, naive, mindless, self-righteous younger sister, the lame, less cared geek and bookworm younger brother = Middle class
The shameless disgusting loser Leonard Bast and his pathetic wife = Lower class
The whole series is a complete waste time viewing experience. The Basts characters were absolutely unnecessary, very illogically inserted, not just disgusting, annoying and bothering. Also, the aunt of the Schlegel 3 young people was another unimportant and totally unnecessary insertion. But without them, how could this lousy drama go on? There would be nothing to tell. It's a very hollow story about the rich, the less rich and the poor classes, typical British social infrastructure. It's inheritance and entitlement of the colonial British Empire for certain privileged people like the Wilcox and the Schlegel families, same old same old like what Dickens' novels, they were either self-centered or narrow-minded people like the Wilcox members or open-minded, self-indulgent, or self-righteous or charitable-minded like the three members of the Schlegels. What made them so care-free and worry-free? Because they were either rich by making money with good investments or got the inheritance money from their dead parents. The Basts insertion was so forcibly pretentious that Foster simply copycatted from the Dickens novel, the only difference was that shameless Bast never got some remote rich relatives who suddenly died and miraculously named him as the sole receiver of their fortune, what a bad luck lamer.
The camera works were as beautiful as it should be, sceneries, gardens, flowers, sky and sea.....typical BBC stereotype and formula, but the interior of the old house in this series as "Howards End" was so UGLY!
