The House of Eliott (1991)
dw99 3 points 3 years ago*.

Pleasant period show with very good production values for its time (shot in 1991). A bit more of a soap opera than a compelling drama, but an intelligent one, and an interesting look at the 1920s, esp. some women’s lives in the 1920s.

As noted in the blurb above, it was created by Jean Marsh and Eileen Atkins, who created “Upstairs, Downstairs” — and Eileen Atkins (Dame Eileen Atkins!) has become one of the most distinguished actors of her generation.
