We bought the 24 volume collection and donated it to the Toronto Library system for on demand viewing at the "reference branch". This earned us a thank you letter form the town mayor personally. As to the content, it is my considered opinion that Upstairs Downstairs is the very best programming material ever produced in the English language and has an immensity of edification potential for mankind in this respect. A look at people who possess faculties for the very best ways of thinking and being in the areas of courtesy, maintenance of idealism for the community generally and certainly in maintaining high standards for thinking through superior, in fact supreme levels of articulation prowess. If the British have been a beacon to mankind, a view held by many in this world, it is through the example I put it to you, of Upstairs Downstairs thinking. In this respect the British have well earned their place as purveyors of culture which has something to offer in the way of improvement with regards to rational engagement on facts while maintaining humane ideals uppermost. This in the end is perhaps the great appeal of the English language abroad as its use does challenge the user to engage with the values and idealism of its proponents often with an added richness and improvement of a local inflection of french passion perhaps or Germanic emphasis on the quality of output that would ultimately be the ruit of any prolonged discussion on any subject at hand. It is Britains contribution to the process and while there are others on the stage giving us a great deal equally, there never will in my own mind be adequate recognition or acknowledgement for what it has meant to the world to perfect the standards offered by and maintained by the Bellamy household from their perch in Britain going back some time to the now Edwardian era.Read full review

I was a little disappointed in the production quality...I supposed because it was made way back when. Also there were no Closed Captions available. I've only watched the first 2 episodes so I'm hoping it will get better. I do look forward to each new episode and learning more about the characters. I'm sure I will get my money's worth.
Great DVD Set!
