[edit] Plot

The Bosworths and the Bumbles are two families of Edwardian teddy bears who dwell at number 49 Theodore Square, a most elegant townhouse abode. Freddie and Henrietta Bosworth dwell "upstairs" with their family with the Bumbles "downstairs". The series is based upon the best-selling books by author and artist Carol Lawson. Inspiration for the project apparently stems from her having come across a "downstairs" bear dressed as a maid, which got her imagination running.

"Upstairs Downstairs Bears" takes its cue from the seventies ITV drama [[Upstairs, Downstairs]] which starred real-life husband-and-wife Pauline Collins and John Alderton. The series puppets and environment were constructed at Egmont Imagination's HQ in Denmark before being shipped to FilmFair's studio in London, where the shows were filmed.
