Upstairs, Downstairs: The Swedish Tiger (1972)
Season 1, Episode 11
2/10
a very strange episode
9 January 2013
Pleased am not the only one surprised at this particular episode in an otherwise splendid series; I particularly like the series as coming across very much like theatre plays with plenty of character build up. I recently got the whole box set and watching them in sequence but in this episode I fell asleep! I was then interested to read that "The Swedish Tiger" is generally regarded as the low point in the whole series. Looking forward to all the remaining episodes as have become quite a fan and remember bits from the original t v viewing in the 1970s but it is now like seeing them for the first time. I had not realised the first few episodes were in black and white but did not detract from the enjoyment, as of course a period drama. I did not really get into the recent new adaption of it nor got to see Downtown Abbey but there is something unique about the original Upstairs Downstairs, probably to do with the pacing and general direction/production. Recommended in the main.
