Thomas & Sarah

Thomas & Sarah is a British series broadcast by ITV in 1979. The only spin-off of the BAFTA Award-winning series Upstairs, Downstairs, with John Alderton and Pauline Collins following their roles in Upstairs, Downstairs.

At the end of Upstairs, Downstairs in 1975 there were many plans for a spin-off, and the idea for the original name, Thomas & Sarah In Confidence, written by Alfred Shaughnessy and John Hawkesworth. Michael Grade agreed to make a program with John Alderton and Pauline Collins, now a married television couple. In October 1977 it went underway with people who had contributed to Upstairs, Downstairs .

Thomas & Sarah follows the adventures of Thomas Watkins, the chauffeur, and Sarah Moffat, the maid, after they had left their jobs on Eaton Place in 1910. Sarah is pregnant and so begins their new life. Thomas begins a garage company. ==Episodes[ Edit] == ==Second series[ Edit] == In July 1979, a second series started.
