After watching Downton Abbey, my lovely and gracious wife and I have been watching the great old BBC show, Upstairs/Downstairs, which was produced by and starred the British actress, Jean Marsh. It's a remarkable show, with each episode a self-contained drama (really a small stage play) set in the household of a wealthy Tory MP, Sir Richard Bellamy, and his wife, Lady Marjorie. Marsh plays the parlour maid, Rose, with Gordon Jackson in a great turn as the butler, Mr. Hudson.
Here's Marsh in costume:
