Well, that clears that up, and I'm glad that Casey is Master of the Hunt. We could get him a pink coat and a pair of riding boots to keep the illusion going, if he liked.
I knew Thespis because, well, of 'thespian', and also the lost Gilbert & Sullivan operetta of that name. (It was only 150 years ago, how could they lose it?!)
Also, there really is a theory that Napoleon was murdered. Using the ever-popular 'poisoned wallpaper' device.
What else does Sports Night get wrong ...? Lots of things, which I always notice at the time but can never remember after. I know Danny's English isn't as good as it might be ("Lack of interest, Danny, or uninterest - not disinterest!"). And I think 'Marquess' really is pronounced 'Markwis', and not how Jeremy said it ...
Never trust the TV, that's the moral of this message. It's a liar and a deceiver and it will lead you into deadly wrong.
