THOMAS & SARAH starring JOHN ALDERTON, PAULINE COLLINS
From the Creator of the Emmy Award Winning Series UPSTAIRS, DOWNSTAIRS
Color - 4 Discs Running time approximately 11 hours 16 minutes
One year after its two main characters found gainful employment on the Emmy Award-winning television classic Upstairs, Downstairs, the enterprising Thomas Watkin and Sarah Moffat gave notice to make a go of it on their own -- with delightfully mixed results.
THOMAS AND SARAH follows the up-and-down adventures of this former chauffeur and parlor maid, a couple often as at odds with each other as they are with their efforts to strike it rich. Lavishly capturing Edwardian England's richly detailed splendor, each episode finds our mischievous, yet endearing, duo tackling new endeavors in spite of their selves. From running a matchmaking agency to performing as magicians, Thomas and Sarah never fail to come up amusingly short of their goals.
