That’s not a mistake; the filthy rich had bottled water long before the masses!

The Doctor is usually so much better at not leaving things behind on the fireplace.

That reflects the general carelessness about historical accuracy on that show.

I admit I am pretty much tuned out of contemporary popular culture. I found myself asking, what the heck is Downton Abbey. The last serialized fiction I really got engrossed in was “Deadwood” where the dialog was like Shakespeare set in the old west, and “Rome” a few years ago on HBO. Really enjoyed Rome, especially the portrayal of Marc Antony as a violent, morally degenerate military genius. I still watch it using the on demand feature from time to time.
Never was much of a Seinfeld fan either
I guess Downton Abbey is another pop culture icon that I will otherwise remain clueless about.
