Trivia
Dame Nellie Melba (1861-1931), the first classical music performer to come from Australia, was the greatest operatic soprano of her day. She was born Helen Porter Mitchell but changed her name in honor of her home town Melbourne, Australia.

Goofs
During Nellie Melba's concert, Isobel Crawley remarks to the Dowager Duchess of Grantham, 'I prefer Bartok'. Bartok's music was virtually unknown in Britain in 1922 and would certainly not have been familiar to people who lived in rural Yorkshire.

Quotes
Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham: [correcting Tom on how to address a noblewoman] Don't call her "Your Grace."
Tom Branson: I thought it was correct.
Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham: For a servant or an official at a ceremony, but in a social situation call her "Duchess."
Tom Branson: But why don't I call you "Countess?"
Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Certainly not!
Tom Branson: There's no logic in it.
Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham: If I were to ever search for logic I wouldn't look for it among the English upper class.
