Goofs:

Anachronisms: (At 23:00) One of the Bennett sisters asks Amanda, "What is a sandwich?". Actually, by this time in history, sandwiches were well known and considered to be a light meal.

Quotes:

Amanda Price: This place is a mess.
Frankie: It's called "re-decorating". It's what women my age do when they get divorced. It's like sex, only you can stop any time you like for a cup of tea and a biscuit.
