The Palace: Difference between revisions

* [[Contrived Clumsiness]]: George takes out his anger on Rich by hitting him with a cricket ball. Hard.

* [[Daddy's Girl]]: Eleanor, with the late king; there does seem to be a good deal of [[Parental Favoritism]] going on, with George and Izzy generally neglected.

* [[Double Entendre]]:

{{quote| '''George:''' I bet she's rubbish at cricket.<br />

* [[One Steve Limit]]: There are two characters named David, but one of them is a ''Prince'' David, and [[The Ghost|never appears onscreen]] anyhow. Then there's the late King James and the footman named Jimmy, who is addressed as "James" at least once.

* [[Passive-Aggressive Kombat]]

* [[Pretty in Mink]]

* [[Prop Recycling]]: Eleanor gleefully runs her hands through newspaper clippings disgracing Richard, but it's obvious that some of the clippings are identical -- a rare example of recycling props within a single shot.

* [[Strip Poker]]: The "downstairs" staff are seen playing it in the first episode.

* [[Taking the Heat]]: Ray feels partly responsible for the hit-and-run because he didn't persuade George to stop the car. He also feels that the prince shouldn't go to jail. He offers to go to the police and tell them he was the one driving, but neither the king nor his staff consider it seriously.

{{quote| '''Abigail:''' Sir. ''[no response]'' Sir. ''[still no response]'' ...Your Majesty. ''[Richard snaps out of it]''}}

* [[Troubled Fetal Position]]: In the first episode, Richard excuses himself from an overwhelming [[Walk and Talk]] to collapse in the corner of a bathroom, breathing shakily.
