Producer Hawkesworth brings his Upstairs Downstairs sensibilities to the BBC, as chef Gemma Jones defies the upper classes for her shot in early twentieth century London.
We seem to have missed the beginning (only the opening episode thankfully) and find herself already having made a good impression with a Major, Michael Culver (Roland's son) and Lord Bryan Coleman, but is pressed into marrying butler Donald Burton so she can be mistressed out to the Prince of Wales, Roger Hammond. That I find a bit much.
Familiar faces in June Brown, John Raply, Doreen mantle, John Welsh.
