Jane Carr as Joan. Jane appeared in two episodes (The Wages of Sin and A Family Gathering).
She was cast for the former at short notice when Chris Beeny (Edward) was involved in a near-fatal motorbike accident and was
unable to attend the VTR. Jane thus missed all the outside rehearsals for the episode and only had a few hours to learn her lines.
Joan is one of those servants at 165 which tend to get forgotten about. Leading us to... Quiz time! Name all the members of downstairs
staff we ever see in the show. Roll your mouse over this brown patch to see the answer: Sarah, Rose, Mrs Bridges,
Mr Hudson, Emily, Miss Roberts, Alfred, Pearce, Edward, Mary (#1), Doris, Alice, Nelly, Ruby, Thomas Watkins, Brenda, Violet,
Nanny Webster, Joan, Gwyneth, Daisy, Mrs Ganton, Lily, Frederick, Miss Treadwell, Mabel, Mary (#2). Hope I haven't missed
any!
