Errors
- Cora mentions inviting Bertie to Downton to Edith and mentions "the 11th" as before the house opening ("We're opening the house that weekend") and Bertie does arrive at Downton before the house opening. However, the sign outside states that the house will be open on the sixth of June. Thus, either the sign is wrong or the dialogue was out of synch with the prop.
