The series follows the lives of both the family and the servants in the London townhouse at 165 Eaton Place. Richard Bellamy, the head of the household, is a member of Parliament, and his wife a member of the titled aristocracy. Belowstairs, Hudson, the Scottish butler directs and guides the other servants about their tasks and (sometimes) their proper place. Real-life events from 1903-1930 are incorporated into the stories of the Bellamy household.　　高斯福德莊園里Upstairs和Downstairs的出處。講述了二十世紀早期三十年間一個上流階層家庭里主仆的故事。1971－1975年英國名劇，BAFTA和艾美金球等多項大獎獲得者
