Movie Reviews of Upstairs Downstairs - The Complete Third Season
Movie Review: Changes at 165 Eaton Place
Summary: 4 Stars
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 Marjorie's last hours on the doomed Unsinkable. What will happen to her, to the other characters, now? Eugenia Renskoff
Summary of Upstairs Downstairs - The Complete Third Season
Studio: A&e Home Video Release Date: 03/26/2002 Run time: 663 minutes Rating: NrThis 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
