Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Heavenly Fun
I came across this series at a time in my life when I was sad. This wonderful tale of the hardships and regimentation of the past, made me feel better. Also I fell in love with the footman Rob Daly
what a cutie pie !! This was a touching and tender series, and the Oliff Coopers became what the high class probally were simply annoying !!!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Another PBS Classic
I am so grateful to PBS for their wonderful work. I saw only 2 of this 'House' program, before it finished running on TV. I was so delighted to finally get the whole program to view from start to finish.

The most remarkable evidence of money corrupting people was displayed in this program, as the people chosen to play the lord and lady of the house became less and less in touch with the reality of the world in which 'their servants' lived.

The below stairs folks ... Read More

I don't believe the producers created drama within the series in order to present "artificial" drama - the relationships between the people were dramatic enough.

I found the narration very helpful, in that the lifestyle of the Edwardian period was explained pretty ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Come to the insular and class driven world of...
I admit, I am a PBS/BBC House series junkie. After Colonial House, this is my 2nd favorite House series so far. The personalities in this series are memorable. The situation and feelings were vivid and I had no troubles understanding why the conflicts came up between the wealthy family and the servants in the Manor House. Like other items in the house series, this is mostly serious business with only a few bits of joy mixed in.

Let Manor House transport you to another time and place for ... Read More
