From Jean Marsh & Eileen Atkins {the creative masterminds behind Upstairs, Downstairs}, The House of Eliott originally aired in the early 1990's. This brilliant costume drama depicts the trials & tribulations of 2 sisters launching an haute couture fashion house in the 1920's, and truly the only disappointment is the show's abrupt end {due to cancellation by the BBC.} Although I was an ardent viewer when Masterpiece Theater originally broadcast THoE, I'm watching it again thanks to Netflix and loving every minute. Interestingly, the series re-aired in the UK on ITV last fall. Perhaps, like Upstairs, a new version is in the offing?
