Bates is a vile slimy moon-head.
the word which comes to mind when I see him is

clammy

WhipMeIndiana · 23/09/2011 15:16

Edith - snipe

Cora - beaming

Lord G - fatuous

I loved him last season, but I think he has tipped over into dripdom. Why couldn't he be honest with Anna- surely he owes her that much? And then they could come up with a Cunning Plan.

Summerbird73 · 23/09/2011 17:23

hmm yes my jury is out on Bates. i am now just melting into Matthews eyes

disclaimer: have been married for a long time Wink

Bates!! am astounded. He's not so much a real man as a gingerbread man. bit sweaty and glistening, and pilsbury doughboy.

WhipMeIndiana · 23/09/2011 20:14

Anna is amazing. so discreet, loyal and effortlessly organised. love amy nuttall's new character too. good that she clashes with Obrien. sniggered at the 'at your age' comment.

WhipMeIndiana · 23/09/2011 20:16

I find Bates a little sinister.

yeah, after he's murdered his scheming wife and inherited all her shizzle too

Does anyone think Tom Branson is an unusual choice of name for an irish revolutionary (read free state/IRB supporter)? Would he not be more likely to have an Irish name? Wonder what the thinking is?

ripstheirthroatoutliveupstairs · 24/09/2011 09:55

Maybe his name is not written as it is pronounced? I worked with a number of Irish people with bonkers spellings but quite ordinary names.

LeBOF · 24/09/2011 11:05

You mean he could actually be Patrick O'Flaherty, but just pronouncing it Tom Branson?

I was thinking more Fearghul O'Shaunessy Hanrahanrahanrahanrahn pronouced Tom Branson.

Ooh, I've just figured put which maid Lord G gets his head turned by- the ambitious uppity new one, of course? She's a flighty piece, that one I would...

ScatterChasse · 25/09/2011 18:49

Wouldn't surprise me. Did the other one (Gwen maybe?) go off to become a secretary in the end?

diddl · 25/09/2011 18:50

Yes, for the guy who came to install the telephone(?)

Summerbird73 · 25/09/2011 19:00

yep thats the one, he conveniently needed a secretary and quick as a flash the lovely Sybil magicked one out of thin air

WhipMeIndiana · 25/09/2011 20:58

ooooh it's D-Time

Georgimama · 25/09/2011 21:03

One hour fifteen - have they cut the ads? Hope so.

harrietthespook · 25/09/2011 21:16

Where the hell is DIDDL?

harrietthespook · 25/09/2011 21:18

E's gonna snog the farmer - who seems to be married.

And O'Brien's got the HORN for the new valet.
