At the crumbling stately home of Hazelwood Manor life for its few remaining downstairs staff is about to take a dramatic leap upstairs when their small syndicate beats the unlikely odds and wins the lottery. Overlooking the seaside town of Scarborough the once impressive manor has been in the family of Lord Hazelwood (Anthony Andrews Brideshead Revisited) since his ancestors built it in the 18th century. There used to be more than thirty staff at the house but now with a mounting debt of £6.5 million and counting there are just five remaining since Lord... and Lady Hazelwood (Alice Krige Thor: The Dark World) were forced to let the others go. Gardener and math enthusiast Godfrey (Lenny Henry Othello Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban) housekeeper Sarah (Cara Theobold Downton Abbey) cleaner Dawn (Elizabeth Berrington Mr. Turner) cook Julie (Melanie Hill Stardust) and gamekeeper-cum-groomsman Sean (Richard Rankin The Crimson Field) all have to pitch in and do more than one job just to keep the household running smoothly. Now Lord Hazelwood’s health is failing and the second Lady Hazelwood and her son Spencer (Sam Phillips In The Flesh) - who have grown a little too accustomed to their lives of grandeur - are more concerned with maintaining their lifestyle than sorting out the estate’s disastrous finances. With the future of Hazelwood in question and their jobs on the line the unthinkable happens - the staff wins the lottery! This touching drama from BAFTA award-winning writer Kay Mellor follows the highs and lows of their journey from downstairs to upstairs… There are now 14.5 million reasons why the lives and loves of the staff of Hazelwood Manor are about to change beyond recognition - but will the dream of instant riches be different from the reality?

All six episodes of the third series of this BBC drama written by Kay Mellor.

When the workers, mother and daughter maids Dawn and Amy Stevenson (Elizabeth Berrington and Daisy Head), cook Julie Travers (Melanie Hill) and her manageress daughter Sarah (Cara Theobold), gardener Godfrey Watson (Lenny Henry) and handyman Sean McGary (Richard Rankin), find out that they have won 14 million pounds on the lottery, the tables are turned as the employees suddenly have more money than their employers. Will the members of the syndicate pool their money to save the manor or will other aspirations split the group?
