George Crabtree and his new bride are on their honeymoon holiday in the southwest of England. They find that the suite that they were promised has been given to another guest, a James Thomas King. When they confront that guest to see if a switch in rooms is possible, they discover to their surprise that 'James Thomas King' is in fact His Majesty King George V. The King explains that he has come incognito to this part of the world to deal with some personal problems that his son Edward is experiencing. This would be the Prince of Wales, later Edward VIII, who in 1936 would abdicate the throne to marry Wallis Simpson. The problem is that, while the Prince's first name was 'Edward', the name he would assume as his regnal name in 1936, his family and close friends always called him the last of his personal names 'David'.

Goofs and anachronisms
silverfox-999639 November 2022
Thankfully, we have followed Murdoch and all the outstanding cast members from episode 1 right up to "Honeymoon in Hampshire". The writers who dream up their stories, combining historical characters and kind of spoofing ideas, products, theories etc, (that today we know to be au courant)- make all the programs so interesting and riveting, until the final outcomes. Men and women who have graced the world's history and given us so much in so many genres, make all the episodes instantly interesting. As for the "caption" of this note, Goofs and Anachronisms, in one of the comments looking at this particular episode, the inclusion of the carbon monoxide not acting as it actually does, was noted. I think an anachronism also occurred. Early in the story, there was a mention of one of the characters "having just arrived from Thunder Bay". Thunder Bay is where I live. Our city was formed in 1960, amalgamating the then 2 separate cities of Fort William and Port Arthur. I believe Murdoch episodes occur, presently, in the early 1900's. Oooops!😀😀😀
