      While walking the baby, Sarah sings a snippet from "What Are We Going to Do with Uncle Arthur," which is the music-hall version of the theme from "Upstairs, Downstairs."
    • Goofs
      Although Thomas and Sarah were purportedly married when they left the company of the Bellamys in 1910, this series begins with the pair never having gotten around to going through the nuptials.
    • Quotes
