About this show

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?
