Reviews
"[An] anecdote-filled memoir…Rebecca Eaton looks back on 25 fascinating years at Masterpiece Theatre and Mystery! at PBS."-USA Today "Eaton weaves an absorbing tale of what began as just a young girl's Anglophilia but would eventually change the viewing habits of Americans…Though the book's most compelling moments are culled from the battles Eaton waged as producer, she manages to put everything in perspective as a highly successful working mother who had plenty to fight for at home as well…. In the end, Eaton looks back with unflagging fondness at her life's work and the spectrum of experiences it has brought her."-Hollywood Reporter " Eaton recounts these tales with zest."-McClatchy Tribune "[An] engaging new memoir."-Bay Area Newsgroup "A treasure house of anecdote and insight, observation and object lessons, Making Masterpiece is quietly electrifying."-Shelf Awareness "In addition to these sometimes charming, sometimes bawdy anecdotes, Eaton brings a strong personal element to the narrative…she is able to humanize what is sometimes seen as an impersonal area of the showbiz world…A pleasing blend of memoir and retrospective with a wide audience appeal. Recommended for readers interested in the history of television and the business aspects of the creative process and, of course, PBS devotees."-Library Journal "A delightful trek into the world of TV production and a substantive treat for the truly addicted PBS fan."-Kirkus "In the world of TV drama, names and faces appear and disappear with bewildering speed; Rebecca Eaton is immortal and immutable…She has made an enormous contribution to the cultural life of America, and, more than that, she is one of the most fun people I know." -Andrew Davies, Vanity Fair "Rebecca has been the executive producer of Masterpiece for 25 of its 40 years. We Americans are fortunate to have Rebecca at the helm: someone committed to bringing great television drama to the widest possible audience, week after week."-Gillian Anderson, The 2011 Time 100

Synopsis
Did you stop answering the phone at 9.00 P.M. on Sunday nights to watch the original Upstairs, Downstairs ? Did you gather at the water cooler or its electronic equivalent to discuss last night's tragic events on Downton Abbey ? Did you tweet our sister with delight and amazement when Sherlock jumped off the roof, splattered himself on the sidewalk, and then showed up behind a tree at his own grave site? As Rebecca Eaton, executive producer of the longest-running prime-time television drama in American history, says in her candid and witty memoir, ' Masterpiece seems to connect people across generations and up and down family trees. The show's longevity forty-two years has to do with the company we keep when we watch it.' When the young Vassar graduate suddenly became the producer of Masterpiece Theatre in 1985, she hadn't actually seen many of he episodes. No did she like mystery novels, through her new job required her to choose British detective stories for the popular offshoot Mystery ! A lifelong Anglophile who'd apprenticed at the BBC World Service, she saw an opportunity for an idealistic young woman to make her mark in the newly established public television system. Twenty-eight years later, Masterpiece is one of the hottest shows on television, from the crinolines of Cranford to the cybernetics of Sherlock . Eaton talks about (and occasionally to) the people who have over the years made Masterpiece the beloved, iconic program it is- hosts such as Alistair Cooke, Diana Rigg, Gillian Anderson, Russel Baker, and Alan Cumming; Upstairs, Downstairs co-creators Jean Marsh and Eileen Atkins; Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes; and actors such as Kenneth Branagh and Elizabeth McGovern, with surprising cameos from Robert Redford, Paul Newman, and Daniel Radcliffe, who launched his career as the young David Copperfield Rebecca Eaton has also overseen the triumphant transition of 'quill-pen' Masterpiece into the digital age, as Jane Austen meets Facebook, and a whole new generation of viewers learns the pleasures of classic costume drama as well as those of cutting-edge adaptations like Sherlock . Between the unexpected hits and missed marks, the challenges of wrangling money for art, and the perils of rebranding a classic for the twenty-first century, Making Masterpiece has as many dramatic ups, downs, and cliffhangers as most popular television serials. As Kenneth Branagh says in his preface- ' Masterpiece brings together various bodies of work to create something greater than the sum of its parts. And it presents the material with enthusiasm and passion and intelligence and a sense of occasion . The program, the institution, and the many strands of Masterpiece punch way above their weight. I say, well done, Rebecca, and thank you very much.', The Emmy Award-winning producer of PBS s "Masterpiece Theatre "and "Mystery " reveals the secrets to "Downton Abbey," "Sherlock," and its other hit programs For more than twenty-five years and counting, Rebecca Eaton has presided over PBS s "Masterpiece Theatre," the longest running weekly prime time drama series in American history. From the runaway hits"Upstairs, Downstairs" and "The Buccaneers," to the hugely popular "Inspector Morse," "Prime Suspect," and "Poirot," "Masterpiece Theatre" and its sibling series "Mystery "have been required viewing for fans of quality drama. Eaton interviews many of the writers, directors, producers, and other contributors and shares personal anecdotes including photos taken with her own camera about her decades-spanning career. She reveals what went on behind the scenes during such triumphs as "Cranford" and the multiple, highly-rated programs made from Jane Austen s novels, as well as her aggressive campaign to attract younger viewers via social media and online streaming. Along the way she shares stories about actors and other luminaries such as Alistair Cooke, Maggie Smith, Diana Rigg, Benedict Cumberbatch and Daniel Radcliffe, whose first TV role was as the title character in "David Copperfield." Readers will also get to know Eaton on a personal level. With a childhood steeped in theater, an affinity for nineteenth century novels and culture, and an accidental apprenticeship with the BBC, Eaton was practically born to lead the "Masterpiece "and "Mystery " franchises. "Making Masterpiece" marks the first time the driving force behind the enduring flagship show reveals all."
