Goofs
When the radio is switched on for the King's Abdication speech, the dial light turns on and sound is heard instantly. In the 1930's radios did not switch on instantly - they had valves which required a minute or so to "warm up". (The filaments in them needed to become virtually incandescent to emit electrons). It's only since the application of the transistor to radio technology in the 1950's that radios switch on instantly.

Quotes
Mr. Pritchard: [to the other servants referring to the dining room] I don't know what's under discussion in the dining room but every time I knock the silence is so thick, you could stuff a cushion with it.

Little Lotte

I hope everything works out for little Lotte. She is a good little girl and I hope she gets to stay with the Hollands. This was a great episode. So far all have been great.
