Archives“We were actually grateful and fond of the staff, though not reciprocated.”
Manor House’s Sir John, also known as John Olliff-Cooper, says in a chat that the family was “actually grateful and fond of the staff, though not reciprocated.” He also reveals that his wife’s sister, Avril, “won’t talk to me at all, which is fine.” He and kitchen maid Antonia Dawson, who challenged his comments about poor people, also discuss other parts of the show, including learning of the Sept. 11 attacks during the production, which occurred throughout the fall of 2001.
John’s wife, Anna Olliff-Cooper says in a chat with the butler that at first she “didn’t see myself as one of the upstairs participants” and now thinks she “could’ve done one of the downstairs jobs.” And butler Hugh Edgar reveals he “had training for four days from the adviser to ‘Gosford Park,’” and confirms that “[t]he chamber pots were used.”
