50 years since Upstairs Downstairs first graced the small screen but it remains the best ongoing period drama ever transmitted. Superb storylines from the beginning of the century to the depression of the early 1930s with the stories getting better and better the longer the 68 episodes progressed. Gordon Jackson had the role of a lifetime as the Butler Angus Hudson. Ive never seen a finer acting performance on British television but virtually all the cast were brilliant. The only weak point and i remember this from watching it 45 + years ago was the fact that over the 30 year storyline period no one aged at all which stretched credibility a little but a minor point
