Rating:  - Six hours of in-depth history lessons on the Edwardian era
The most fascinating part of history is learning how people's regular day-to-day lives were like. It is that which this type of series exploit so well. While seeing how things were done a hundred years ago, such as 16-hour work days, no time off, and making your own dish washing soap, is enough to watch this series, it is the human experience of the participants that is truly intriguing.

I came across this series at a time in my life when I was sad. This wonderful tale of the hardships and regimentation of the past, made me feel better. Also I fell in love with the footman Rob Daly

Rating: - Great show!
I saw Manor House on PBS several years ago, and bought the DVD set for my birthday this year.I love this reality series!I've never seen a reality series that showed people's emotions and inter-relationships so eloquently.I don't believe the producers created drama within the series in order to present "artificial" drama - the relationships between the people were dramatic enough.
I found the narration very helpful, in that the lifestyle of the Edwardian period was explained pretty thoroughly. ... Read More
