Of course,it's not just "Larkrise" that gets it wrong. In an episode of "Foyle's War" ,there appears a character purporting to be a Royal Navy Captain,in full uniform and sporting a moustache !! Unheard of !!
A series about "Moll Flanders" a few years back, had the eponymous heroine,having boarded the 17 th century sailing vessel that was to take her to The Colonies, telling the Captain of said vessel that he was " Wanted on the bridge " !!! I mean,it makes you wonder who does the research for this kind of thing.
