Downton Abbey Part THREE: Shoehorns and Spanish Fly

[NorfolkNChance]

Soooooooooooooo I still reckon Cora to kick the bucket, shuffle of this mortal coil, sing with the choir eternal etc etc

I bet Jane is handy with a shorehorn for Lord 6, he's been out of action for a while so may need some help.

that was a bit rubbish really

christmas special looking entirely predictable now I reckon - M&M get it on and kick Sir R to touch doncha think?

Haa Rosalind......s'not Lavs

Well I loved it,so there!!!!

JF brings Lav back from the dead at Xmas?

OR

matty to run off with Thomas.

Argh, hated the shit with Matthew and Mary at the graveside - "we are cursed" - blah, blah, blah. Really disappointed with this episode!

Except it wasn't noble, more a bit sort of...whingey.

It's a bad do when Sir Richard seems a better gentleman!

Just checked age difference between Anna and Bates: 17 years. She looks older than 30, I think.

I only watch it for Violet.
I have met Dame Maggie in person, donchaknow. And we have exchanged kisses. Love that actress.

He looks older than 47!

So what happens if Mary dies of a broken heart in the Christmas special? Matthew to jump in the lake in memory of their love? He gets a hamster for company?

Boffin you kissed Violet 17 years? Just looking at them in the bed together she looked waaaay younger than 30 to his 47

maybe they need branson 'the journalist' to do the dirty on sir r.

well, I will be personally writing to aviva about this horrible ending to the series.

Georgina I did too, shall we start the

"Downton was Tosh but We Loved It Thread" ?

Oh, and really dodgy camera work tonight.

Was that meant to be audience participation, so we all felt as dizzy as Mary did while she kissed Matthew?

Nothing to beat it,Bossy.
Cannot wait until Xmas special,and thread
Glad Lord G gave Sybil and Branson his blessing
Violet pragmatic as always!.

PMSL at you lot. I was watching it on catch up so didn't want to follow the thread, but all through it all I could think of was the fucking peach bedspread and how you'd all be reacting

V annoyed by the Matthew/Mary stupidness. Lavinia said 'be happy', didn't she? Chuh.

He will be happy.come the xmas special

No tongues.

I have loved her since the Praim of Miss Jean Brawdie.

That maid is going to be pregnant and she's going to have the new 'heir' to Downton.... I can see it now...

I do have a very soft spot for Mr Carson...

Anna is going to be so up the duff, and Bates will hang.

I don't think so, Lady Georgina

They're going to string out the Matthew/Mary shit for the whole of series 3.

Lord G didn't boff the maid, though, so she can't be up the duff. I liked their parting scene, thought it was one of the few that was actually attempting subtle. (Mind you, they were lucky Carson was in bed with the 'flu, otherwise he was duty bound to walk in on them.)

How does Mrs H know about them?

Is Jan Moir on this thread? Out, out yourself I say.

She's been very funny on Downton.

In our house we love the dogs arse in the opening credits. So Lord G is in fact Lord Dogs Arse.

Anyhoo totally loved tonight. Although would have liked Cora to have snuffed it.

Im totes into bad, mad Sir Dick. Mmmmm.
