[edit] Cleanup

Needs cleanup. Several erroneous 'facts' added; inconsistency about regular cast vs. recurring characters. Quill 22:39, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

I will continue to tidy this page up as much as time allows me. I intend to create a page for each the main characters, a project I've already started. I also want to finish the List of Upstairs, Downstairs characters page. I also think that due to the popularity and length of the programme it would warrant a page on each episode, which I am happy to do. This would cut down the excessivley long and confusing current "Story" as much of this info would be on the individual pages. If anyone has any comments to make etc please let me know. I would really like some more photos on the page (especially on character pages), there are some good photos on www.updown.org.uk, but I'm no specialist on copyright. --UpDown 21:40, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Could the anonymous user please fact check?

It would be nice if the enthusiastic anonymous user (and we do appreciate your enthusiasm) who keeps adding to this article would fact check material, or add notes that they were not sure of parenthetically; a non-visible note can be added in this manner: (Shows up when you click the edit this page tab) Otherwise, there’s so much cleanup to do over material that has already been copyedited. Thanks! Quill 23:32, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

Corrected story summery sentence about Thomas and Sarah having never married. They in fact did marry and were spun of to their own short-lived series "Thomas and Sarah" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0137328/). -- Jango Davis 13:12, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Uh, no they weren't, I've seen their short-lived series. He promised he'd marry her, he didn't say when. They got into a bunch of hilarious scrapes, but the no-marriage thing is clearly highlighted throughout especially in the episode There Is A Happy Land, Sarah tells Thomas she's pregnant (to stop them from going to America), and Thomas finds out that she's not, and he tells everyone in the town that they are currently living in that they are not married at a dinner party to pay her back (by embarressing her entirely).

[edit] Ruby

'was replaced with Ruby, a hardworking young woman with minor mental disabilities' - hardworking? Ruby? Her constant cry seemed to be 'My arm's getting tired, Mrs. Bridges.' And I don't think she had minor mental disabillities, either. She could be intelligent enough when she wanted to be. Ruby once said, as quoted in the article (I don't think it's exact, though), 'They'll not last long and I'll get the guesthouse'. She had it all sewn up. It seemed, to me at least, it was her constant lazyness that annoyed Mrs. Bridges so. Sergeant Snopake 14:26, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I'm too tense

What's the story with the Story section? The first half of it's in the past tense and the rest in the present. Clarityfiend 08:19, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

I have attempted to change it all so it is all in the past tense. --UpDown 09:16, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox

I have removed Patsy Smart from the infobox because the infobox should only have the main cast in, otherwise this box would be very, very long. Joan Benham and Raymond Huntley appeared in more episodes than her, so if we put Smart in, they would have to be in as well; and then it would be far too long. Also, Smart was normally only a minor character (except in two episodes). --UpDown 13:07, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
