- One of the best of the House series...
Out of all the House DVDs I have so far the best two are Frontier House and Manor House, both produced at the same time, both reacting to 9/11 in their own way, both dealing with the social pressures, gender issues and historical problems of their time period.
Manor House has a family and 12 servants placed in a Manor for 3 months.The time period is the turn of the last Century.The servants are divided into two groups, the upper servants who interact with the family, and the lower servants ... Read More
Rating: - Manor House is entertainment that satisfies on many different levels
I didn't know what to expect when I got this DVD, but in the end I was very satisfied with this purchase. The show goes into much detail in setting up the situation, explaining who the people are and what they are doing there.
Then the day-to-day life begins and the people are in store for a rude awakening at best.
The show will definately be of interest to many different sorts of people because it informs on different levels, history, reality TV drama, entertainment and visually appealing. ... Read More

Rating: - Six hours of in-depth history lessons on the Edwardian era
The most fascinating part of history is learning how people's regular day-to-day lives were like. It is that which this type of series exploit so well. While seeing how things were done a hundred years ago, such as 16-hour work days, no time off, and making your own dish washing soap, is enough to watch this series, it is the human experience of the participants that is truly intriguing. From the lady of the house, an emergency room doctor in real life, becoming shockingly comfortable and happy as de-emancipated ... Read More
Rating: - Heavenly Fun
I came across this series at a time in my life when I was sad. This wonderful tale of the hardships and regimentation of the past, made me feel better. Also I fell in love with the footman Rob Daly
what a cutie pie !! This was a touching and tender series, and the Oliff Coopers became what the high class probally were simply annoying !!!
