My Fair Nanny - S1-E3

Corrected entry: In the scene at the breakfast table where the family is discussing wether or not Maggie should become a debutante, Fran refers to Maggie as Angela, the name of the actress who plays Maggie.

Correction: It's a litte hard to hear but (also according to the subtitles) Fran says "But, angel, I think, .". And the first name if the actress who plays Maggie is Nicholle.

My Fair Nanny - S1-E3

Corrected entry: Nile's opens the door for CeCe. She walks into the room where everyone is sitting. Behind her you see someone hidden by the wall and then run across the hall opening.

Correction: It is Maggie who is walking back there.

Bowling255 ★

Bowling 255 is correct. I went back and rewatched this scene and it is indeed Maggie in her peach shirt and plaid pants. She hesitates as she walks out, so it does look like an accident. She steps back and then walks out again, but the scene cuts to her already standing by the stairs. So this is actually a continuity error.

Questions

Show generally

Question: This might be a stupid question, but why do all three of the children speak in typical American voices? Wouldn't their speech have a British influence because of their father, and also Niles?

Answer: Children's brains and language skills are still developing at that age and they adapt to the environment they live in. My former boss was born in England and moved to the US at about eight years old. She completely lost her British accent by her teens, even though her parents still spoke as typical English citizens. A Japanese co-worker and his wife, also Japanese, spoke English as their second language. Their two children learned both English and Japanese simultaneously while growing up and spoke each language with the appropriate accent.

raywest ★

Answer: Kids tend to take on the accident of where they live. I once had a British student who lost his accent after a couple of years in the US.

Brian Katcher

Not just where they live, but also after their peers (who live there, but you know what I mean).

KeyZOid

Answer: Not necessarily. Their late mother being American would've probably made the most impact on their speech, considering most kids spend most of their early years more with their mothers than fathers.

Rob245

Gracie is young enough that she doesn't remember her mother. The episode "I Don't Remember Mama" was about this.
