Critical reception
Allmovie noted that "Donald Calthrop, as the butler, has all the best lines."[2]
gollark: I'll probably just shove in a hidden form input or something.
gollark: But then I realized that the UI needed to know what files had *already* been uploaded, so now the server has to send those in some way that the client code can read.
gollark: (it doesn't upload them to the server yet)
gollark: So I managed to make accursed JSoforms to allow people to select some files from the local device by clicking buttons. Highly advanced technology, yes.
gollark: Wow, this file upload thing is getting increasingly convoluted.
