The Glorious Dead (Upstairs, Downstairs)

"The Glorious Dead" is the eighth episode of the fourth series of the period drama Upstairs, Downstairs.

Mrs Bridges comforts Rose and tells her how when she was a kitchen maid over 30 years ago, she fell for a groom called Frederick, who later died of a fever in Sudan while he was acting as a batman.

Just before James arrives home, Hazel reads in the newspaper that Lt. Jack Dyson MC has been killed in an aerial battle, but she immediately has to comfort Rose when she comes back from Madame Francini's.

In The Evening News, Richard Afton wrote that the programme was "running downhill fast".

He said that "The Glorious Dead", "with its sordid intrigues, mumbo-jumbo sense and long, philosophical speeches was a bore".
