The Aristocracy series was originally aired on the BBC. Each episode explores a period in the history of Britain's noble classes. Focusing on the decline of this class in the modern world, each tape offers a glimpse into a world only the privileged are intimately familiar with. In this particular episode, viewers explore the postwar years and their effects on the upper classes. For most families, times were hard and led many to open their doors for tours, and to mix, for the first time, with the common people of Britain. ~ Rob Ferrier, Rovi
