Family Life - begins with an "upstairs-downstairs" portrait gallery, followed by insights into the family life of the Granthams as portrayed in the show with excerpts of interviews with the actors (who tell us about how filming is done, their routine, etc.); readers also learn how the various servants at Downton Abbey operate within the larger machinery of the household and it certainly makes for interesting reading about a life that seems so far removed from today's (for example, one learns that kitchen maid Daisy's character is an amalgamation of several different roles, i.e. a scullery maid, a vegetable maid, and a stillroom maid). I greatly enjoyed reading about the duties performed by various members of staff and the real-life anecdotes by those who had actually been in service such as the reminiscence of Gordon Grimmet who had been in service to the Astors. There are even practical household tips from the servants! Parker, James (2 January 2013). "Brideshead Regurgitated". The Atlantic. Archived from the original on 15 November 2020 .
