- TriviaWhen Anna explains how she started her life in service, she mentions that she left home at a young girl and got a job as 'tweenie. 'Tweenies were young teenage girls at the lowest rung of the service ladder. They got their name in the era before indoor plumbing, when they had to carry very heavy buckets of water and waste up and down the stairs, and thus they were always found 'tween the floors.
- GoofsThe year of the episode is 1924. The Bentley driven by Henry Talbot is a 1927 Bentley 3 Litre, chassis number RE1400 that was delivered to the original buyer in November 1926.

Visually stunning
Mary, Mary, Mary, just when we think you're a lost cause, you have to go and do something noble (defending the honor of Branson) and we have to rethink. You make us love you even when we don't wanna do it. From seething Stowell's perspective, it's bad enough he has to wait on Jews, but he draws the line at chauffeurs. He is being nasty to Tom and we can't allow that. With a simple question, "Can't Barrow do something?" Mary opens a Pandora's box. Toxic Avenger Thomas sits right down and writes himself a letter, and makes believe it came from Mr. Daunt. Let that be a lesson to you. This is why you should never take the day off from work. Let us now take a moment to salute the evil genius that is Thomas Barrow. With only a paperclip and a used cigarette filter he can fashion the downfall of Western civilization. Or, at least, the downfall of Stowell, with some welcome collateral karma for naughty boy Sinderby. He's a regular MacGyver of deviousness, isn't he? But while it is handy for Mary to have an executioner at her beck and call, remember, Thomas is not like Bates whose 'talents' the family utilized to save the Monarchy last season. To Thomas, information is currency. Now that Mary has utilized his services, will he think she is beholden to him? Forget about shooting grouse; this week would have been a whole lot better if they'd just shot Denker and Sprat (is there still time?) There is no restorative broth strong enough to rescue those two from a pointless, recycled storyline about sabotaged cooking. Daisy learned that didn't work in Season 1. Poor Sprat. What a waste of someone who (early on) showed such promise as a fabulously pissy queen. If this keeps up, next season he and Denker will invent mud wrestling. And speaking of pissy queens, that Princess Elena is just a barrel of laughs, isn't she? Someone sign her up to be Sourpuss Susan's Ladies Maid. All this Russian angst may be great for literature and symphonies, but sitting in the parlour for tea...not so much. Good times ahead! God bless us everyone!
