"Married Love" was among the episodes omitted from Upstairs, Downstairs' initial Masterpiece Theatre broadcast in 1974, and was consequently not shown on US television until 1989.
Elizabeth's marriage to Lawrence Kirbridge remains deeply unhappy, with Lawrence not wishing to consummate the relationship. Lawrence 'arranges' for his publisher, the much older Sir Edwin Partridge, to make love to Elizabeth at a soiree the couple hosts.[1]
