Backstairs with Upstairs Downstairs

STATED FIRST EDITION. 1988 St. Martin's Press hardcover, Patty Lou Floyd (The Silver DeSoto). An estimated one-billion viewers in 70 countries watched the British PBS/TV presentations of Upstairs, Downstairs. Floyd, an Oklahoma freelance writer who was granted access to producer John Hawkesworth and others responsible for the series, here files an absorbing report, marred slightly by her intrusively arch tone.
