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 opened at King Lear for me. But I flicked left, and was deeply disturbed by her resemblance to Peter Pettigrew. I dread to think what those teeth might do to Matthew's humble recovering manhood.

compare the meerkat

Noooo Meerkat girl has broader cheekbones & is taller!!

Trying to print off Meerkat girls face!!!

leBooof eyewatering thought!!!

so is tonight the last series ep? bar christmas?

Aawwwwwwwwwwwwww

Blimey loads of plotlines to tie up then?

Seems like a bizarrely short series compared with the last one? Anyone know the reason why?

I'm very sorry to have restarted the Meerkat controversy! I missed the original discussion Apologies! Can we get back to discussing Matthew's erections now?

puzzlesum it does-just googling to see if this weeks Ep IS the last one!

lazarusb just the pedant in me don't worry!

Back to Mathews erections yes......any theories?

There were 7 eps last time & 8 this.

Plus a Christmas special.

Yes diddl just found a post that said 6th November Ep 8 so good-oh 2 more weeks to chatter endlessly review the episodes!

I shall be totally U on Christmas Day & plan around DA...luckily it's just me from 11am as the girls are at their Dads!! ( yes I'm a saddo, hey-ho)

Yes-wonder if this series will wind up with ep8 or the Christmas episode?

Series 3-set in the 20s-so surely someone has to be getting married soon-or all the daughters will be "past it"!

Usually if series have a Christmas episode they run as close as poss to the end of the season, it seems, possibly because they lose viewers?

Read somewhere that it costs well over a million £ per episode to produce, which I can understand, as Highclere Castle alone can't be cheap to rent!

So-Lord G to die at Christmas so that series 3 is about "the youngsters" taking over?

So, if tonight Matthew & Lavinia announce that they have set a date, & bearing in mind that Mary & Sir R are engaged & looking at property, what´s going to happen between this week & next so that M&M marry next week as so many want?

M&M to marry at the Christmas ep?

I had a quick glance at the DM in the library while DD was printing her homework off.
I think there is to be something about Pickle and nursegirl.

Now of course I NEVER normally read the DM but rips post sent me off looking and I found this:

www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2055226/Who-die-Downton-Abbey-Spanish-flu-crisis.html

It doesn't say WHO dies (though the title might suggest that) but it does say who falls ill so if you don't want to know that then best not to look.

But even if Lavinia dies, Mary & Sir R are still engaged!

Honestly, I have the remnants of the Observer around me (I am cutting bits out for DDs homework) just to prove my right on credentials.

I forgot to add, the library only has the DM delivered it seems. No other tabloidy one available unfortunately.
The librarian was moaning because someone had pinched the mags which she wanted to take home.

bloody DM giving away the potential victims

i still read it though!

avert your eyes if you don't want to know I'm commenting on that link

But...but.... but didyouseeMathewstandingtall&strongnexttoLordG???!!!!!

I think it´s an old pic-wasn´t he wearing that when he first visited with Lavinia?

And when the Major General(?) who came to look at the hospital proposed a toast to Edith?

Wouldn´t it be more likely that Sybil got the flu than Cora due to nursing-or Isobel?
