The Honourable Thread of Downton Abbey - The Third

[Moln]

Who filled up the last thread? Hmm?

All I wanted to say was Jonathan Rhys Meyers?

No!! I don't like him and he's a pants actor.

Daisy & Pickles?

He´d expect her to hand him the farm whilst she stayed at home with baby Sybil, wouldn´t he?

I LIKE Daisy she's got spirit; but Mrs. Patmore says she's in love with the wrong man (she's done that twice; she fancied Thomas the 'ladies man' ) much better to go for gorgeous James and they can run the farm together. When old FIL KTB.

BTW squoosh I think you'll find that the Daisy & FIL idea was mine originally

Is Daisy's PaInLaw's farm on the Downton Estate? I always assumed it was v far away, not that I've any idea how large the estate is. Some comment from Willyum about visiting his mum on his next half-day as it was so far.

PaInLaw mentioned to Daisy she was well thought of at the "big house", did he mean Downton?

There's a trailer showing Lord 6 being all chummy with Branson at a cricket match. Maybe they bond over the smell of linseed oil and the sound of leather on willow.

It could be far away AND on the estate Fiderer it's effing big IMO. I'm sure her FIL meant Downton.

Oh dear, you should have copyrighted.

Yes, must be on the Downton estate, ppeat, no other "big house" would have an opinion of Daisy. A widow as tenant, and a former kitchen maid- turned-assistant cook to boot, what'd that do to the, erm, hierarchy of the lower orders?

Yes but things were getting a little more flexible around the 20s weren't they?

Hope so. I love Carson's outraged eyebrows

Better than Lord Fatty BumBum's horror, he's been particularly nasty the last few episodes.

Yes poor old Lord FB can't cope with the change at all can he?

Ooooh aaaaaaah it's count down to Downton time!

Edith's child would not inherit even if a boy.
After Lord Grantham has to be nearest male relative,ie Matthew.
Reckon Mary will have a boy but perhaps Matthew off scene next series..... as Dan Steven's in America.

I've just endured 5 mins of the X-Factor. Bloody hell, it takes something to make the ITV ads seem like a relief.

Just waiting for DH and DS to finish their game of Othello, then I get the telly and sofa - past DS's bedtime already really ! Is it the last episode then ? Ooh, looking forward to that then

I'm watching it a bit later so will use all of my willpower to keep away from this thread for an hour or so.
Enjoy, hope it's fab.
:)

Pregnant surely

Mary's preggo but won't tell Matthew - why?

Ooh - Thomas and Pickle could go on the run together, like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

I would be vair happy if the extra minutes were spent showing a slow-mo of O'Brien breaking her neck falling down the stairs. Evil.

pregnant or ill-there is no such thing as just 'being tired' in an ITV drama
