When the first season was broadcast, creator and executive producer Julian Fellowes was annoyed at newspaper articles which printed viewers' criticisms of anachronisms (e.g. television aerials and double yellow lines in shot), especially the newspapers' assumptions that all such criticisms were valid. The word "boyfriend" was wrongly thought to be an anachronism, whereas it first appeared in print in 1889, long before the time when this show was set. At the time, he said "They think to show how smart they are by picking holes in the programme to promote their own poshness and to show that their knowledge is greater than your knowledge." However, in an article in Radio Times on September 17, 2011, coinciding with the start of the second season, Fellowes apologized and commented "I behaved rather badly by getting the hump."
