The British Broadcasting Company is known throughout the world for producing high-quality dramas, documentaries, comedies and much more. At one time, these were only available for television viewers in the UK but now, DVDs of immensely popular television shows are available on DVD to us all

There’s something for everyone here. There are lavish historical dramas, exciting documentaries, hilarious comedies and what’s more, the entire series are available as boxed sets. Some are recent, some are old favorite television classics such as the one we feature below. I loved this when it was broadcast. It tells the story of an upper-class London family in the early twentieth century (1903 to 1930) plus the lives of their servants. Spanning almost thirty years, we live through the First World War and various social issues of the day – all tinged with humor, drama and emotion.

You’re bound to find something for everyone on your gift list from this selection (and a treat or two for yourself) but if you can’t decide, try the collection featured below. It’s the entire series of Upstairs Downstairs complete with hours of additional material not available elsewhere.
