The television series Upstairs Downstairs was made in the 1970s and portrays the lives of the Bellamy family and their servants at the fictional 165 Eaton Place, London.
The Beastly Hun (Series 4, Episode 3), written by Jeremy Paul, is set in May 1915, when there is much anti-German feeling (following press reporting of the sinking of The RMS Lusitania). There is also talk of spies.
Edward Barnes, the Bellamy’s footman, has enlisted and is away serving in the army.
In one scene, his wife Daisy (played by Jacqueline Tong) goes to a local bakery to buy bread from Albert Schoenfeld (played by Gertan Klauber).
As Daisy goes to leave the shop, Mr. Schoenfeld asks her: “How is Edward getting on?†Daisy, having reached the door of the shop, replies: “Oh, alright. I get nice cheerful letters.†Mr. Schoenfield says: “From the Front, eh?†Daisy answers: “No, Codford St. Mary, his camp on Salisbury Plain.†Mr. Schoenfeld remarks: “Tell him to stay there.†Daisy responds: “I will. Bye!â€
