Upstairs Downstairs recommissioned

I'm sure someone asked if it was going to come back a while ago, and it looks like it is!

Upstairs Downstairs recommissioned for second BBC1 series, this time of six episodes.
(from Ian Wylie's tweet. -> http://twitter.com/ianwylie/status/35642443877584896 )

I think that the official press release soon will follow.

ETA: Here's the press release! Thank

I really hated this series. It was bad. BAD. I tried. I love Keely but it was bad.

That was me! Can't wait to see more delicious 1930's costuming!

Thanks so much for the head's up!

Ian posted a link for the press release, if you want to add it to your post. :-)

The beginning snippet:

Danny Cohen, Controller of BBC One, confirmed today that Upstairs Downstairs has been recommissioned and will return with a 6 x 60-minute series in 2012.

Danny Cohen says: "The return of Upstairs Downstairs was fantastically well-received but what drove us to recommission was the wonderfully imaginative and distinctive plans the team have to take the drama forward."

Just edited to add it, thank you!

Glad to hear it! The series didn't start off brilliantly, but it picked up towards the end and had a lot of potential. Just happy to see it (and Keeley ;P) will be back to prove that.

That's exactly how I feel about the show! I'm happy, too :)

Yeah, I love Heidi Thomas' other works so I went in with such high expectations, but I ended up being a little disappointed, to be honest. But it did pick up towards the end so I'll watch the second series :)
