@SimTrippy Downton Abbey was a popular drama about a royal family and one infamous moment was how they write off a guy from show which the screenshot I posted took. The guy decided to quit show in the middle of production so they brutally killed him in an accident as a "Take that" to the actor.
To be more precise, Mr. Crawley is/was an earl, on the lower end of the nobility ladder. Watched the show regularly at a friend's place until the incident. The reason he left is that he realized he was over-committed with both work and a newly enlarged family and knew something had to go. Quite agree that the method chosen (the usual for unimaginative TV story writers) was bad. The show was set during the height of the British Empire, so posting him off to India or some other portion of the realm woud have worked just as well if not better. More flexibility if nothing else. Same goes for the younger sister. Just marry her off to the chaufer and send them elsewhere, say Canada or Australia.
