Sinopsis(1)
1936. La casa del 165 de Eaton Place lleva vacía desde que la familia Bellamy la vendiera, seis años antes; pero por fin sus puertas se van a abrir de nuevo por sus recientes propietarios, el diplomáticos sir Hallam; su mujer, lady Agnes; y de recién regresada del Raj, Maud, lady Holland, su madre. Con la llegada de lady Persie, la hermana debutante de Agnes, la suntuosa mansión está lista para volver a a vida. ¿Y quié mejor que Rose, la antigua doncella, para contratar al nuevo personal? La nueva familia de "abajo" resulta tan rica en personajes como en su anterior versión, entre ellos el estricto mayordomo, el Sr. Pritchard; la cocinera, la Sra. Thackeray; el chofer, Harry Spargo y el resto de un equipo joven y vivaz. El elegante mundo de "arriba" y el personal de "abajo" no tardan en levantar su propio laberinto de secretos, mentiras y escándalos y, mientras perciben las convulsiones regias y políticas y la ominosa amenaza de la guerra, la casa resuena con los familiares sonidos de los rumores, la excitación y el miedo.

Arriba y abajo (2010)
I'm probably too disgusted with Downton Abbey, but this is pleasant. I've been thinking about the original series for a long time, so why not go the backward route? And 9 episodes in 2 series is just about right. So are we going to see the evolution of Up the Working Class in these new adventures? #bbc

Season 1 (2010) (S01)
In 1936, the house at 165 Eaton Place comes to life again. The original series was set in 1903/30 (in reality 1971/75), but it seems like yesterday. Fans of BBC heritage are in for a long-awaited sequel to the legendary saga. Yet given that there was only time for three nights, it was necessary to introduce new characters, to build on familiar events, to start telling new stories and to portray the main things that moved London at the time. Indeed, everything fits into just three episodes, including von Ribbentrop promoting Marlene Dietrich's new records, Cecil Beaton, Mosley and his British Union of Fascists (the infamous Battle of Cable Street) and of course the royal abdication and Wallis Simpson. Of the new cast, the young Claire Foy, who at the time had only done the classic Little Dorrit, and two ladies, veteran heritage actresses and creators of the The House of Eliott series, Eileen Atkins and Jean Marsh, are particularly attractive. A joy to behold.

Season 2 (2012) (S02)
The years 1938 and 1939 are again very demanding. The oldest generation has passed away, and the farewell to Jean Marsh is bittersweet, but the political changes bring with them some interesting new characters. The topics of the individual storylines are once again very varied. We have it all here: racism, alcoholism, a lesbian affair, infidelity, Nazism, espionage, but also the saving of children in the style of Sir Nicholas Winton, and that's not all. For only 6 episodes, it's a pretty good load. Of the real-life personalities, John F. Kennedy makes an appearance, and the best scenes are with an American textile magnate. You go to the movies to see Irene Dunne in Love Affair. Claire Foy, whose protagonist has a similar fate to Unity Mitford, once again shows strong acting. And of course Alex Kingston, the classic representative of the most energetic women in the world.
