We enjoyed this episode, but I'd like to add my choice of anachronism, although of course there are so many efforts in the series to avoid such errors. It's the use of the word "Chair" for "Chairman" of a department at Oxford. I don't have any personal knowledge of Oxford, as another person does here, nor have I done any research, but in the 1960s the gender-neutral term was not really in use anywhere with a long tradition. The idea of such a word I think was lampooned for another two decades as implying that a piece of furniture was running the show.

I wanted to make this comment rather than wanting to review the show, but it was a good entry in a good series.
