Oct 10, 2026, 8:39 PMOn Trial, the first episode of Upstairs Downstairs, was broadcast on this day in 1971. Due to the colour strike it was originally recorded in black and white (and then re-recorded in colour at the end of the S1 production block).
@brian Waht are we going to do with Uncle Arthur, a Bleedin' nuisance, is Uncle Arthur. When he goes, a, strollin' through the park, watch your step, girls, especially after dark.

@brian I got into Upstairs, Downstairs when I was a young adult, managing to catch a few eps on PBS, then when I saw it was available on Netflix out here, I had to get the whole series. then I found some studio tracks done by the gril who played Sarah, where she added words to the theme song, "With Every Passing day."
Oct 10, 2026, 8:50 PM@tinygirl A friend of mine, she wrote a song about Upstairs Downstairs. She plays piano and sings. I'll have to find it some time and let you hear it. It's very good.
@brian would love to hear that.
@brian Sorry, had to do it. Was a Sarah Moffit fan.
