    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Goofs
      Aside from the episode-long flashback to the WWI era, the majority of the series is set around 1933 & 1934 with a pivotal plot point being an influenza outbreak around the week of New Year's day. The flu is referred to repeatedly as "Spanish Influenza" but this flu pandemic occurred 1918-1920, over a decade before the setting.
    • Quotes
      • [Lord Peter guesses that two suspects have run away to get married in secret]
      • Lord Peter Wimsey: Ah yes, I thought he had a nice easy number. May I use your telephone?
      • Supt. Blundell: Help yourself.
      • Lord Peter Wimsey: [into telephone] Canterbury 123, please. If you wouldn't mind, it's urgent.
      • [to Superintendent Blundell]
      • Lord Peter Wimsey: In their flight, you know there is one thing the Thodays certainly overlooked. We have an ally, Blundell. A haughty prelate. An arbitrary prince. To wit, the Archbishop of Canterbury.
      • Supt. Blundell: Oh yes, and Mr. Mussolini and the Emperor of Japan? Are you all right, my Lord?
