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.

Ah well that's Sunday nights back to reality........but no.... it's time for

Jungle Celebrity!

Talk about sublime to the bleeding ridiculous!!!!

Am I the only one to find VampireMatthew even more attractive than the normal version?

Bossy! I'm with you.

Antordec and a whole bunch of people we've never heard of much less give a shiny shit about celebrities in the jungle. I just need to get the tranqs for my galloping arachnophobia and its all systems go!

They all are very pale, must be on their contracts not to get a tan. Wonder as soon as they stopped filming they all headed off ton the sun with some baby lotion or factor two sun oil.

Ah well, it all picked up in the last two episodes and Garrick's Law starts next week so all is not lost.

Back in those days it was only the lower class that had tans from working outside my dear. You could tell a Lady by her porcelain skin and her hands don't you know.

There is a good article in the Telegraph (I think) a few days ago that talks about Posh Birds being pale e.g. Nigella L

Yes I do know, TA. just commenting on the fact they ensured they got that fact right.

I love Sybil and Branson. Sigh...

They all got ill at exactly the same time.

Loved it though.

What's with the breadspread? I've missed something!

Hate Mattthew ever since seeing him being sneering and obnoxious on The Review Show a couple of weeks ago. Public school spitefulness at its worst!

ali in the teaser trailer it showed a handdropping onto a peach quilt as if it were dead, but it's actually the bit when Cora drops her hand fir Lord 6 to hold. Good red herring!

.....scream¬!!!!!! am watching on catch up now LAVVIE JUST DIED!!

masterbates married

jane is more of a slutmaid than ethel ever was

lucky old freddie scoring a gold plated start in life due to slutmaid II

oh but i loved it soooo much, was sobbing at the end and loving Violet's one liners

DH gave in and let me watch it in real time i too was wondering how this thread reacted to the bedspread

mary gives anna a great wedding gift -0 the gift of....errrrr...sex?

eeeuuurrrggghhhhhh naked masterbates bleeeeeeeee

Loved watching the catch up episode in the afternoon and then last night's end of series. Do I gather there's to be a Christmas special and then the next series in the new year ?

Agree they could have done more/ been more authentic with Matthew and Mary at the graveside. Wasn't very subtle was it ? I think Matthew would have been a bit more halting in telling Mary what Lavinia had heard and seen, and then what she said when she was dying. Matthew just came straight out with it all. - I can see they want to keep our attention but I feel it would be better if some scenes were played out a bit more gently and thoughtfully - instead of just racing and jumping to the next scene - and always picking up on a different thread of the story.

I liked the story about baby Charlie. Was nice she decided to keep him herself. Wonder if that story could develop at all with the granny meeting up with them secretly. Not quite sure how they're connected with Downton though - I've only watched a few episodes from this series, and none from earlier ones ... so lots to catch up on one day I guess ... perhaps there'll be a repeat of the whole thing one day !

MATTHEW NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! you can't blame it on a kiss!!!! NOOOOOOO

torn to pieces by wild dogs!! wtf lord 6, wtf.......

life is too short for quarrels fo' shizz.

leg irons for Bates oooooooh

God, that was rubbish. Most glaringly obvious plot. 'How's Lavinia?' 'Oh she's fine' 'Is Lavinia OK?' 'Oh yes, she's fine'. 'Oh NO! Cora's going to die! And what about Lavinia?' 'Oh, she's fine'. And Matthew's acting was absolutely appalling. Really dreadful.

I do love how they can't get shot of Thomas though. Like a turd that won't flush.

thomas lookes 'zackly like a penguin

oh is that it!!! v good. can read entire thread now.
