HIGH DRAMA AT THE GRAND
How refreshing to find a drama that so well thought out.The set's look solid and true to the period , the costume's are rich
ley detailed. And the acting is fabulous and heart felt.
The story it self is also true to the era with the long suffering
staff trying hard, to keep the bannerman's and guest's in pride
and pomp.You can sense the class division witch the story play's
on a lot.As some of the staff try to break free and other's just
dream about it.the bannerman's and guest's have not got it easy
with .Mysterious strangers,tragic circumstances,illict affairs,
prostitution and murder. I think i would prefer to be a staff
member. And with a script that almost like poetry in motion.
This is good viewing with strong characters and a good story.

Grand Style
The Grand is an "Upstairs/Downstairs" type series, set in 1920's, and revolves around the owners of "The Grand Hotel," their staff, and the hotel guests. Just like Upstairs/Downstairs, social station, the war, and family issues are the topics in this series. The most sympathetic characters are that of the hotel owner John, the much abused wife of John's brother Charles: Ruth, and the servants. My only peeve with the series? That its two short. There is only 8 episodes in the first season set which makes the price a little steep. Also, Unresolved plot threads... Such as the poor drunk girl with 'appendicitis' which I would've liked to see dealt with. Also...As usual, the poor folks show much more character than their snobbish and rich 'patrons.' An excellent series, sure to delight viewers who also like Upstairs Downstairs.
