Overview

Step back a hundred years to the world of the pampered, privileged upper classes and look inside a house of high society to find out exactly what goes on behind the magisterial doors of a typical stately home. They were the super rich of their times, pampered beyond belief - the early 20th century Edwardian gentry, who lived like superstars, their every desire or need catered to by an army of butlers, servants, footmen, housekeepers and grooms. Class, money, inheritance, luxury and snobbery dominated every aspect of the lives of the upper crust Edwardian family, led by a typically dignified yet authoritarian patriarch in an era where well bred children were to be seen and not heard, yet treated like princes and princesses.
