What a astronomical series! I had never before seen it on television and, loving period pieces as I do, decided to effect the buy. It was worth every penny! My sister, who also loves period pieces, came over. Together, we hunkered down and proceeded to behold the entire series in one sitting, all eight and a half hours of it. We were positively riveted to the cover, so enchanting and well acted is the series.

The series centers around three young women, Mattie, Lydia, and Hannah, brought by fate to posh Berkley Square in turn of the twentieth century London. All three work in households where they are employed as nannies. All three meet and become fleet friends.

Mattie is a an experienced nanny, who was brought up in the tough East Slay of London and, consequently, is firmly profitable of holding her occupy. She works for a family that is on the bad side with two children, a boy and a girl. The boy is a sure petite beast, and the household is bustle by a crafty and cunning housekeeper. Mattie’s benign and gracious, baby faced countenance, however, belies a will of iron. She most certainly can catch care of herself and own her bear with this motley crew.

Lydia, the novel faced and naive country girl, works for a fabulous family, as assistant to a nanny who is like an customary family retainer. She watches over the baby, the first child of her employer’s second wife, who is an American with fresh, egalitarian views. The only blight on her existence, is the grown, splendid son from her employer’s first marriage.

Hannah has a more original history, as she is an unwed mother. She worked as a lady’s maid for one of Yorkshire’s first families. A appreciate affair with her employer’s delicate, only son leads to the birth of their illegitimate son. When her child’s father unexpectedly dies, she and her child are forced to sail Yorkshire. She ends up in London, where a chance meeting with Lydia finds her accepting employment in a household in Berkley square, working with the nanny from hell.

The series revolves around their experiences and that of the families for whom they work. Over time, the threads of their lives are woven in such a diagram that they manufacture for an spicy tapestry of events. Very well acted, with keen performances by all, and first rate production values, this is a series well worth having in one’s collection and is recommended to all who worship a well made, period fragment.

Following in the tradition of such fabulous BBC mini-series brought to the U.S. via “Masterpiece Theatre” as “The Tall,” “The Pallisers” and “Upstairs, Downstairs,” “Berkeley Square” holds up well for lovers of Victorian/Edwardian-era costume dramas cum lavish soap operas.

“Berkeley Square” focuses on the very extinguish of the Victorian era, and the begining of the Edwardian phase, taking state in 1902, when all of Britain was celebrating the coronation of a recent king. Like “The Ample” (my personal current) or “Upstairs, Downstairs,” “Berkeley Square” focuses on the incompatibility in the classes, highlighting the lives of three nannies: Mattie, Hannah and Lydia, all of whom work in the stately homes on Berkeley (pronounced “Barkley” by the Brits) Square. It’s also a fairly true depiction of a subject miniature discussed in most series–the fate of children in Victorian England. Contemplate “Berkeley Square” with a new sensibility and you’ll be frightened how the “privileged” class looks upon their children. (Something like children speaking when presented at an adult social event is enough to cause “gross embarrassment” for their parents and the possible dismissal of a nanny and, like sincere upper class Victorians, these parents rarely spy their offspring, generally leaving 100% of the child-rearing to servants.)

You first meet Mattie, the goodie-two-shoes of the group, as she starts her unusual job as nanny to the Sinjin family. Mrs. Sinjin is less than overjoyed in her marriage and is carrying on a flirtation–that could so easily lead to more–with the dashing, and quite possibly diabolical, Captain Henry Morgan. Mattie’s nursery maid, Pringle, is less than thrilled with her lot in life (she wanted to be named nanny herself) and tends to seize it out on the children, including often contaminated, eldest son Tom. Further downstairs, the cook and the housekeeper have problems of their enjoy and don’t really need a unique nanny bossing them around. Among other things, Mrs. McClousky, the head housekeeper, is trying to hold her son, Ned, from being arrested for kill.

Hannah’s life is equally in flux. A extinct ladies maid who fell in worship with a Lord, Hannah is lisp to live with ridicule as long as she has her illegitimate son, who is doted on by his aristocratic father, William, who flouts convention by openly loving Hannah, though he can’t marry her. All that changes when William dies in a horse accelerate (I’m not giving anything away–this happens about 2-1/2 minutes after we first meet Hannah) . Suddenly, Hannah, already an outcast and deemed a “heinous woman” by Victorian standards, is alone in the world with a child to raise.

Lydia is a country girl and appealing to London to become a nursemaid will compose her the most successful member ever of her family–that is if her uneducated father lets her go. But naive Lydia has a lot to learn about the titanic city, not the least of which is how sullen the elderly nanny can be when Lydia starts to invade her turf AND how so-called “gentlemen” of the household, like Lord Hugh, can invent a country girl’s life very poor indeed.

This 10-hour mini-series follows the lives of Mattie, Hannah, Lydia, and the families they work for, and will sustain you engrossed throughout (each episode ends with a cliffhanger, making you ecstatic you’ve got the DVD and don’t have to wait for the next TV airing to gain out what happens next) . My main complaint, and why I didn’t give this series five stars, is the lack of early character development. People pop in an out of the series rather randomly, and with small introduction. The nannies also become “mercurial friends” by episode two even though they’ve supposedly only met once, during a trudge in the park where they spoke less than two minutes to one another. Despite this they suddenly know each other inside and out, including shimmering everyone that each other knows. It’s almost as if the episode where they bonded ended up on the cutting room floor. Despite this, you do hasty become engaged in the character’s lives.

Also frustrating is the innumerable loose ends fair left hanging at the kill of the series. Many characters outcomes are left unknown and several narrative lines simply fade. The series could have quite easily, and entertainingly, been extended. (Apparently, the writers didn’t know it was over at episode 10, assuming the BBC would order more episodes.) But, all in all, “Berkeley Square” is a mammoth diagram for an Anglophile to consume a weekend!
