  The Duchess of Duke Street - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Duchess Of Duke Street was a BBC television drama series.
The series was created by John Hawkesworth, the former producer of the highly successful ITV period drama Upstairs, Downstairs and starred Gemma Jones as Louisa Trotter, the eponymous "Duchess" who works her way up from servant to renowned cook to proprietress of the upper-class Bentinck Hotel in Duke Street, London.
The story is loosely based on the real-life career of Rosa Lewis (née Ovenden), the "Duchess of Jermyn Street", who ran the Cavendish Hotel in London.

Inspired by the true story of Rosa Lewis, who held court at her renowned Cavendish Hotel, The Duchess of Duke Street is the video equivalent of a good read.
So watching "The Duchess of Duke Street" again, I was struck that the series includes 31 episodes, more than a traditional "season" on U. television.
I think the length of the project, and the fact that Jones is in practically every scene of the series, caused her to need an occasional break.

 Duke Street's E1bn Duchess I CDO fund fully invested
UK-based Duke Street Capital Debt Management (DSCDM) has fully invested its E1bn collateralised debt obligation fund despite the relative scarcity of leveraged buy-out activity in Europe over the past eighteen months.
DSCDM director David Wilmot said the firm's success was in part down to the size of the fund, the largest European debt vehicle of its sort, meaning Duchess could comfortably ‘write big deal tickets' and was being invited into more transactions.
Duchess I is currently split 80 per cent in senior secured loans, 10 per cent in mezzanine loans, and 10 per in cent high yield bonds.

The Duchess of Duke Street II Starring Gemma Jones and created by John Hawkesworth ("Upstairs, Downstairs"), "The Duchess of Duke Street" is based on the true story of a remarkable woman and a remarkable time in history.
London in the early 1900s is a city balanced on the edge of the old and the new; a place of gas lights, hansom cabs, and music halls; palatial homes and wretched slums.
From their bright and wild youth to the tragedy of war, Charlie and Louisa's affair is part of a tumultuous age that changed the world forever.

 The Duchess of Duke Street, the Series (5 disc Box set) DVD Review - www.impulsegamer.com -
In the second half, once her position in life is established, she faces new trials, brought up by the envy and need of others.
The Duchess of Duke Street is filled with characters so humanly written and so convincingly played, you feel you’ve known people like them all your life and if there were a knock on your door, you would not be surprised to find one of them there.
Most memorable are Mr Merriman (John Welsh), the old butler who is anywhere and everywhere and Mary (Victoria Plucknett), the Welsh maid who ends up second in charge of the Bentink Hotel.

 Television Heaven
A to Z of TV This period drama, set in Edwardian London, was loosely based on the life-story of Rosa Lewis, a kitchen maid who worked her way up to become manageress of the fashionable Cavendish Hotel in Jermyn Street.
The series featured Gemma Jones as Louisa Trotter (nee Leyton), a down-to-earth Cockney girl who was determined, through hard work and her own strength of character, to better her self.
Failure to do so would have led to ruin for the ambitious young woman whereas her compliance led to the Trotter's being amply supported with enough financial backing to purchase the Bentinck Hotel at number 20 Duke Street.

From the era of Upstairs Downstairs (the show's creator did that one before "Duchess" and Danger UXB immediately after), we get another tale of the upper and lower class combines, this time from the perspective of a servant who rose in social rank and refuses to have any affectation with the niceties of the wealthy.
Lousia Trotter is a wonderful believable character who, while remembering her roots and treating her staff with a remarkable degree of loyalty, never lets any of them forget who is in charge.
