"An Old Flame" is the sixth episode of the fifth and final series of the period drama Upstairs, Downstairs. It first aired on 12 October 1975 on ITV.
"An Old Flame" was recorded in the studio on 20 and 21 March 1975. The plot of An Old Flame started as a script by Elizabeth Jane Howard called The Price of Rubies.[1] The Price of Rubies was due to be made for broadcast on 28 September, but for an unknown reason it was dropped and replaced by the quickly-written episode The Joy Ride. The plot of The Price of Rubies, was later taken over by John Hawkesworth, who adapted it into An Old Flame.[1]
