Episode #2.1 - S2-E1
Corrected entry: During discussion in the servants quarters, John's estranged wife remarks "as if!" which is a noted 80s verbiage. Not at all early European nor American. (00:42:26)
Correction: Yes, it was used heavily in the 80's, but that's not when it originated. One of the earliest written use of the phrase comes from 1903 in the book "The Pit" by Frank Norris. And usually words and phrases that appear in print originated verbally before that (unless the author is credited with creating the word or phrase).
And usually words and phrases that appear in print originated verbally before that (unless the author is credited with creating the word or phrase Can you provide an example perhaps, outside the "The Pit"? Sometimes there is assumed history in wording or verbiage from a certain period, that never is actually found or proven.

Corrected entry: At the welcome back dinner for Rose and Atticus, Mrs. Crawley mentions Tim and Amelia living in Cavenham. But Larry Grey was the one married to Amelia, not Tim.
Correction: She said "Let him and Amelia..." She doesn't say Tim, and they just mentioned Larry, so "him" refers to Larry.

Downton Abbey (2010)
Corrected entry: Mr Carson says he has "registered" the house in the name of him and Mrs Hughes. Not if this was 1924! The Land Registration Act was introduced in 1925, effective 1 Jan 1926.
Correction: The Land Registration Act of 1925 was just an extension of an already in place land registration system. Land registration was already in effect, starting with the Land Registry Act of 1862. Certainly no mistake that he "registered" the house in 1924.
