House of Eliott

The House of Eliott - Complete Collection - this is a wonderful BBC series and I can't say enough good things about it. After watching Part One this weekend I am hooked. I own the first series on DVD and there are two more sets which I am getting from Netflix. The one pictured above is the complete series. If you are a fashion loving anglophile like me this series will not disappoint. It kicks of in 1920s London so you know it's going to be interesting.

Wikipedia sums it up nicely: The House of Eliott is a British television series produced and broadcast by the BBC in three series between 1991 and 1994. The series starred Stella Gonet and Louise Lombard (most recently appearing on CSI!) as two sisters who start a dressmaking business. It was created by Jean Marsh and Eileen Atkins, who had previously devised Upstairs, Downstairs.

This show also aired on A&E. I never missed an episode. I think I may have a few VHS tapes with episodes recorded on them. It is a wonderful show.

Sounds like it probably has great visuals too -- interiors and fashion? Thanks for the tip.

I am only on the second season but it's wonderful and the English countryside and visits to Paris are great!
