I was concerned about O'Brian's button box. what's in it? She said she was just going to get her button box and something dramatic happened.

Avantia · 25/10/2011 09:36

I think her going to get 'button box' is code for 'I'm going to be nosey and stand at a suitable distance so I can overhear the conversation .' Grin

thebody · 25/10/2011 11:00

sorry yes O'Brien not Carson, definatly not a good idea to have large whit on a Monday evening..

thebody · 25/10/2011 11:00

FFS OR EVEN A WHITE

Bossybritches22 · 25/10/2011 11:04

She's a nasty piece o'work o'Brien.......

FearfulYank · 25/10/2011 13:26

Of course Georgimama ....figured it had to be something like that. :)

Must watch!

I think P Gordon is an imposter as the manifestation of what is, apparently, a common mannerism for Patrick C was rather too convenient given Lord G wS saying he didn't believe him. The emannerism hasn't resurfaced at any other moment.

I think the bandage is holding a dressing onto his right cheek, presumably an area of deeper burn which hasn't healed.

hello all, i have watched ep 8.

ScatterChasse · 25/10/2011 16:35

Better than Torchwood Aitch?

LadyHarrietDeSpook · 25/10/2011 16:36

Aitch: how tedious exactly is this whole black market food thing? I suspect VERY.

Matthew's really chucked off Mary for good hasn't he?

diddl · 25/10/2011 16:40

"Matthew's really chucked off Mary for good hasn't he?"

ripstheirthroatoutliveupstairs · 25/10/2011 17:05

I suspect he hasn't. Mary wants him, he wants her, Carson wants her to have him and so do most of the rest of the family.
She'll get him.

gazzalw · 25/10/2011 17:20

AitchTwoOh, how can you tease us so and not put us out of our misery....a few hints would do....

diddl · 25/10/2011 17:50

I hope when Lady V tells him next week that Mary still loves hin he says yeah, and, what of it? well I asked her to marry me & she refused-or have you all forgotten that??!!

Georgimama · 25/10/2011 17:59

she didn't refuse! she stalled a bit so that we can have a second series but when she tried to accept him at the garden party he turned her down.

Ep 7 trailer

"Matthew has surprising news which prompts Violet to take decisive action.

Ethel introduces her son to his grandparents in the hope of getting some help.

Thomas lets O'Brien in on a new secret enterprise and Carlisle puts Anna in a difficult position."

Animation · 25/10/2011 19:09

"Mary wants him, he wants her, Carson wants her to have him and so do most of the rest of the family."

But surely not in his present condition down below. I hope he gets some feeling back.

ScatterChasse · 25/10/2011 19:41

To be honest, if he hadn't realised she loved him, he's a bit dim.

By the way, why do none of them ride any more? I thought we used to see quite a few shots of them riding down to the village etc.

diddl · 25/10/2011 19:43

"By the way, why do none of them ride any more?"

Edith ferries them around?

They´re all too busy working at the convalescent home?

Animation · 25/10/2011 19:58

"To be honest, if he hadn't realised she loved him, he's a bit dim."

Yes you're right - how can he be so blind when Mary's eyes fix on him or a midway point with such warmth and longing.

lazarusb · 25/10/2011 20:03

So...Matthew announces over dinner he can now have lots of erections. V raises an eyebrow and points out that Mary is a willing home for said erections.

Or....Mary marries Richard the bastard and one night he forces himself on Mary and Carson hits him over the head with O'Brien's button box (which Mrs Patmore has sold on the black market as a magical box which divulges secrets).

Edith and Daisy decide they should be together as they don't have much luck with the menfolk...and out comes the shoehorn....

I need to get out more Grin

Animation · 25/10/2011 20:09

"did snigger a bit at everyone exclaiming when masterbates walked home from the station, why didn't you call! nah, make him walk, do his limp good"

Yes, I'm going off MasterBates - and I think he plays on that limp a bit - for sympathy.

All the horses would have been taken to use in the war. They still had cavalry in WW1
