Popular British comedy-drama chronicles the lives of the Bellamys, a wealthy London family, and their domestic staff. Set in the turbulent years between 1903 and 1930, the series studies the relationships between characters against a rich historical backdrop: Patriarch and Member of Parliament Richard Bellamy; wife Lady Marjorie; caddish son James; free-spirited daughter Elizabeth; cousin Georgina Worsley; pragmatic parlour maid Rose; firm but friendly butler Mr. Hudson; saucy yet conservative cook Mrs. Bridges; ambitious footman Frederick; cheeky servant turned music hall performer Sarah; novice maid Daisy; dull-witted scullery Ruby.
