Created by Heidi Thomas

On BBC One

A period drama set in 1930s London that explores class divisions and personal relationships within an aristocratic household on the eve of war, balancing domestic intimacy with historical weight.

Set in 1936, the show takes viewers, old and new, back to the lavish world of Belgravia, London. A new set of occupants reside at 165 Eaton Place and viewers see how external and internal influences of the tumultuous pre-war period shape and mould the lives of this wealthy family and their servants.‬
