| Goofs | Although she is a nun, Sister Brigid clearly has plucked eyebrows and is often shown wearing lipstick--highly unlikely for a woman who has taken the veil. See more » |

| Crazy Credits | For the last season, Season 8, the end credits were shown in groups of three names arranged side by side on a black strip at the bottom of the screen, rather than the usual list of credits arranged one under another on a photograph. See more » |
| Quotes |
Mrs. Lyons:
Life is very short, and very fragile. It's easy to let it go by and suddenly find that all the things you meant to do just never got done. When you're young, you think you've got forever. But you're dead for a very long time. That's all. Dr. Jill Weatherill: Is that advice? Mrs. Lyons: One of the privileges of old age is you can talk nonsense and get away with it. You'll know if it's advice, or just nonsense. See more » |
