Upstairs downstairs assignment

UPSTAIRS, DOWNSTAIRS.

For this assignment I had to watch a chapter of a TV series called "Upstairs, downstairs" which makes reference to the old Britain, when there were servants and upper class people. This show is about the Bellamy family, who lived upstairs, and their servants, who lived downstairs. 

Despite of being servants, they get a really good treatment, the bellamys respected them and gave them saturday afternoon's off. 

In this chapter, the King was supposed to be coming to the Bellamy's house to have a dinner party; everyone got very excited and was trying to do as much as possible to have this dinner be completely perfect. 

But there's obviously a problem: Sarah, a maid, goes into labor making things a little difficult to keep under control.

This TV series portrays the families in Britain during the 1920 or so and the different lifestyles.
