Trivia
The store in London which is supposed to be "Harte's", is actually the real Harrods London. Harrods allowed the producers to film the store with a "Harte's" sign in place of the Harrods sign, in green with gold lettering, and even in the same style of lettering. Interestingly, Harrods does not include an apostrophe on its famous sign, but the sign for "Harte's" has one. Harrods also gave permission for scenes to be filmed in the interior of the famous London store.
Quotes
Gerald Fairley:
How can you cold-bloodedly set out to ruin someone?
Young Emma Harte:
That was my plan, but you did it yourself, really. I just helped you along the way.
Goofs
The timescales are implausible. The Series begins a couple of years before WW1, and Emma seems to be about 20. However the present day is set in about 1984. This would make Emma well over 80 in the present day and her eldest child in her 60's - none of them look old enough.
