PBS’s MASTERPIECE – which airs on WPSU-TV – is celebrating its 50th anniversary. Since its debut in 1971, it’s won the hearts of Americans with British drama, mystery, and adaptations of classic novels. From Upstairs Downstairs, to Sherlock and Grantchester, to Poldark, Victoria and of course Downton Abbey – MASTERPIECE has stood the test of time.
WPSU’s Carolyn Donaldson discussed series highlights and what’s still to come for fans, with Jace Lacob. His special documentary podcast on the history of the show, “Making MASTERPIECE,” will be released on Sunday.
Carolyn Donaldson:
So, Jace, your podcast is described as kind of a backstage pass to the PBS series now in its golden jubilee. So why do you think this series has had this long life?

Congregants shuffle in and take their seats quietly under the towering ceiling. The 112-year-old church can hold several hundred people, but it won’t today.
