Didja Notice?

 

At 4:04 on the DVD, notice Emma is using an orange and a grape to explain the summer solstice, just as Steel did for her in "Dr. McDee Must Die" Part 4.

 

At 7:00 on the DVD, Lord Mullrine remarks that the record Emma is playing is as much a part of 1930 as Amy Johnson or the R100 airship. Amy Johnson (1903-1941) was a renowned British female aviator in the 1930s. The R100 was a British airship (dirigible) which, along with the R101, was built in 1929 for a series of trial flights for the Imperial Airship Scheme of 1924-1931.

 

At 14:55 on the DVD, Mullrine, Felix, and Greville come into the room discussing a game they're about to play and invite Sapphire to join in as the fourth. Sapphire remarks, "Culbertson," thus indicating to them she knows the game. The game they are discussing is the card game contract bridge. Ely Culbertson (1891-1955) was an American player of the game, known for popularizing it and making a fortune from his play and promotion of it.

 

Emma recommends to Felicity that she go to bed tonight sooner than later (after all, she wants to hook up with Felicity's husband!), saying, "one minute's sleep before midnight is worth one hour after." She is paraphrasing an old country idiom, "one hour's sleep before midnight is worth two after," meant to encourage going to bed early.

 

Sapphire seems to be enjoying her game of bridge with the gentlemen, even to the extent of finishing the game rather than assist Steel in his investigation of the events in the mansion!
