First Impressions was the working title for Pride and Prejudice. Yes, the title was chosen as part of a branding strategy designed to increase sales, with publishers opting for a "if-you-liked-that-you'll-love-this" approach.

While umbrellas are used and valued by almost everyone who lives in a wet area, they were once thought to be exclusively for women, as they were connected with the stylish parasols ladies would carry on good days to keep the sun off their skin.

"They have to be enormous to match the scale," Wood explained. There was also an issue with their health. "The only ones we could discover that were acceptable had been bred on the continent to be eaten," Wood explained. "We provided them wonderful circumstances, ranging free across the Teletubby grasslands, but their breeding had given them enlarged hearts, and the animal trainer would greet me in grief practically weekly, telling me another had died."

Many fans recognise the portmanteau that makes the name "Gundam" as "gun" and "freedom," but this is just half the tale. While it was the original notion, and how the authors arrived to "Gundam," they finally chose "Gundam."
