   This story is a special one for me, as I actually live in the village   
   (more of a small town, really) of Cranleigh. Sadly, though, in real life   
   there is no Cranleigh Hall or Lord Cranleigh. I imagine that the   
   production team probably came up with the name by flicking through a   
   gazetteer.
