Trivia
Eileen Atkins, whose character Miss Deborah Jenkyns had been killed off in August 1842 (2007), sent the cast and crew a large crate of oranges on the first day of rehearsals for this season's episodes. Attached to the crate was a note "all sucking to be done in public". This was a reference to her character's quote about oranges in June 1842 (2007), when she said that she loathed the word "suck" and, rather primly announced "We will repair to our rooms... and consume our fruit in solitude".
