Further information
The official site has information about the episodes proper, including adaptation source and summaries, and can be used to cite the broadcast dates by someone who has more Japanese and patience than I. —Quasirandom (talk) 21:24, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Sharpe versus Japp
In the American edition of Hickory Dickory Death published by Dodd, Mead and Company, the inspector is named Sharpe, not Japp. Are there two separate inspectors, or is this the case with all of the American publications? Sharpe is first referenced on page 61, the second page of Chapter 7. ("Upstairs, Mrs. Hubbard was facing Inspector Sharpe * * * ") This seems to call into question whether the anime in fact did change the name, or simply adopted a change already made by another source.

It's not impossible that they were working from an American edition, but it's not something that can be inferred from one edition of one novel. However I've removed the sentence which claimed Sharp and Japp would be the same in Japanese since this is not so, "sh" and "j" are distinct sounds in Japanese, as are long and short vowels. Sharp is シャープ (Shaapu) whilst Japp would be ジャプ (Japu). Samatarou (talk) 23:47, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Mabel v Maybelle
I reverted the Mabel->Maybelle change as AFAIK the only people who called her that were the fansubbers (frothbite) and IIRC they admitted it was a mistake. If you look at the WWWJDIC enamdict entry you can see the only recognised gloss for メイベル is Mabel. The press release from Oriental Light & Magic at the time referred to her as Mabel West.
