=== Provides Examples Of... ===
* [[All
* [[Aristocrats Are Evil]]: Not ''evil'', as such, just vapid, brainless and arrogant.
* [[Asshole Victim]]: Sir William, obviously.
Line 33:
* [[Cultural Stereotypes]]: The wealthy. Specifically, the ''titled'' wealthy; all but a handful of the Upstairs characters are absolutely awful people and dicks of the highest order (and those Upstairs characters who are more likable tend to also be of 'lower' station). That said, the Downstairs characters aren't exactly pure as driven snow, but we're clearly encouraged to sympathise with them a bit more.

* [[Not So Harmless]]: What Thompson thinks of the servants when he investigates. {{spoiler|Boy, was he wrong.}}
* [[Not Now, Kiddo]]:
{{quote| '''Constable Dexter:''' Sir, someone's traipsed a load of mud in down here.<br />
'''Inspector Thompson:''' Not now, Dexter, please. }}
* [[One
* [[Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping]]: Why Mary realizes that there's something off with {{spoiler|Denton.}}
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: {{spoiler|Mrs. Wilson, but under duress.}}
