[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But in other episodes they did know the history  of things important or of interest to them personally.  Antiques Roadshow and the like are popular shows because people don't know the history of things in their relatives/parents homes.  I'm sure can find instances paintings and other valuable objects found in the trash or garage sales.  [b]Plus, if their librarian knows why should they need to know[/b]?  I'd want to know, but not everyone does.  [/quote]

Yeah, the writers of DA can read the internet on grand estates of England:

Pulling the "librarian" out of the hat--a character not mentioned in 6 years of a series and over the passage of 10+ years in DA is weak writing b/c they used this lame plot device to wheedle out of actually writing dialogue.

Antiques Road show is basically what happens after the great estates are sold off like they were in one of the previous episodes of DA this year.  IRL, everything would have been meticulously inventoried, especially b/f converting the house into a hospital during the war.  The housekeeper at the very least would have known the details.[/quote]
