Line 12:
* [[It Will Never Catch On]]:
** The Pimpernel, an avid cricket player, delivers a bomb to a hard-to-reach area in the modern overarm manner. A companion suggests he should try that in his cricket games as a variant to the traditional underarm bowling. He says it'll never catch on. Either method of delivery was perfectly acceptable (although underarm was phased out in the late 19th century) until the 1980s, when underarm bowling was banned.
** In the same episode, Percy hires a young unknown painter, [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/:J._M M._W W._Turner Turner|Joseph Turner]], to paint a landscape of his house and the surrounding gardens. Percy's friends are skeptical by the finished product, but Percy himself loves it and assures Turner that he's going to go places. This is [[Truth in Television]]; landscapes were relatively uncommon and it was in a large part Turner's work which elevated their status.
* [[Neck Snap]]: The Pimpernel kills a guard this way during a prison break.
* [[Pretty Little Headshots]]: Resulting in nothing more than a smear of blood on the wall.
Line 19:
* [[Throwing the Distraction]]: Used by the Pimpernel during a prison break.
* [[Traumatic Haircut]]: Marguerite, when she's about to be executed.
* [[Tricked -Out Shoes]]: The Pimpernel's boot with the secret compartments in the lining and heel.
