The scullery maid quits in a huff. The first footman and the hall boy are found passed out on the estate grounds, still drunk from an all-night bender. And just when it seems that things couldn’t possibly get any worse, the hall boy and the new scullery maid are caught doing more than the dishes. It’s hard to find good help, especially when the servants are attractive, 21st-century twenty-somethings accustomed to having their own way and answering to no one. But this is the lot in Edwardian life at Manderston, a 109-room Scottish mansion, the setting for the latest PBS “hands-on history” series. Presiding over the young servants are the no-nonsense butler and the matronly housekeeper. And above them all, literally and figuratively, is the aristocratic family living a life of elaborate banquets and balls upstairs. A fascinating look at the rigid social hierarchy of Edwardian Britain, this six-part series continues the tradition established by THE 1900 HOUSE and FRONTIER HOUSE, a cultural-reality series that document the experiences of real-life, modern people living in another historic time period that is authentically re-created.
