Synopsis

It's four weeks into the three-month "Edwardian experiment" as Part 3 (of six) begins and, perhaps not surprisingly, "The Servants Revolt." One reason: they haven't had a day off yet. "All we have to look forward to is bedtime," moans first maid Rebecca. Upstairs at Manderston (also not surprisingly) it's a different story. Sir John "is taking to it like a duck to water," says Lady Olliff-Cooper. To enhance their standing among the gentry, Sir John has decided to host a charity bazaar for 350 (plus some uninvited socialists). But first, there's that pesky staff revolt to quell. Derek Jacobi narrates.
