Trivia
Su Pollard who plays Ivy is only nine years younger than her on-screen father played by Paul Shane.

Goofs
Mrs Lipton refers to her late husband on more than one occasion. However, it is highly unlikely that a married woman would have continued in the role of housekeeper in the 1920s - particularly as the majority of staff in the Meldrum household are live-in.

Quotes
[repeated line]
Mabel Wheeler: I can't remember the last time...

Alternate versions
In the opening credits, there are sound effects accompanying the actions of the animated characters, except for the pilot episode, where all of these actions are silent and the only sound effect heard is the bell ringing as part of the theme tune.

Brilliant

You Rang M'Lord must be one of the funniest TV Series ever. It's all about a private family that employs several household staff who look after them. There is a butler, an underbutler, a footman, a cook, several housekeepers etc. Although the series is very funny and certain situations are overdrawn, it nevertheless comes very close to "the real thing". As professional butler and chairman of the International Guild of Professional Butlers I know a little bit about the subject. Do check out the series because you will fall in love with it.
