Upstairs Downstairs

A quick search reveals there isn't an Upstairs Downstairs thread on this site. Colour me surprised (after originally black and whiting me surprised due to labour disputes.

As a Who fan Upstairs, Downstairs is one of those shows you hear about an awful lot, like Sir Lancelot, The Army Game, Blue Peter, and All Creatures Great and Small and yet I hadn't watched any before last night.

The network website sale came at just the right time for me, as I've been looking for cheap sets for a while. I could have resisted, but why change the habit of a lifetime.

I've watched the first two episodes and, fortunatley, I rather like it. I was surprised by how hectic the first episode was. There's so much going on and so many characters introduced and yet it's not too busy for them to make their mark.

So, you know, general comments please along with spoilersensitivity. I've never seen it before and I'm looking forwards to ploughing through the box. My plan at the moment is a series of Upstairs followed by a series of The Sopranos. And I think they'll make the perfect companions...
