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.

I saw Thomas on Alan Carr's chat show last night. Oh he's so bloody handsome! And much more fun than Thomas . . . . . . unsurprisingly. Daisy was there too looking slightly more glam but I was too busy slobbering over Thomas/Rob to notice too much.

Unless millais her experienced lover "knows a way how not to get prg." In those days they used to say it was the good girls who 'fell'.

I thought that Rose was brought in so that Edith would think to check up on Gregson?

What´s the point of M&M bringing up someone else´s baby?

SlightlySuperiorPeasant · 06/11/2012 16:21

Yes there is a Christmas special.

BadgersRetreat · 06/11/2012 18:05

phew

I'm feeling sorry for lonesome baby Sybil - is any family member spending any time with her. They all seem so busy - Cora glanced across a field at her pram, and Mary rocked her a bit. I can't really see how viewers will care too much one way or another if Mary gets pregnant, when their isn't much passion around for kids.

Well it couldn´t be heir, which is all they seem to be bothered about...

Animation · 06/11/2012 20:18

Who is heir at the moment?

tribpot · 06/11/2012 21:12

Well, Matthew, as long as Lord 6 continues to grace us with his tweedy presence.

Ah yes, hormone treatment. There may be a flaw in my solution...

Grin Moin I love this whole show actually i don't care about improbablities etc. life is usually stranger than fiction anyway. I met 4 english speaking french friends yesterday (i live between Fr. and U.K.) and they ALL watch on stream (i don't know the technicalities) and love it too I was surprised but very pleased Smile.

Don't know how to link to you tube, but go on and search "the boyfriends guide to downton abbey". There's one for season one as well as season two and its brill.

ppeatfruit · 07/11/2012 10:56

I googled it Pooka 'tis very funny thanks.

ScorpionQueen · 12/11/2012 09:51

Last night was rubbish. I didn't know what to do with myself. Have added the boxsets to my Christmas list. I miss Downton!

HazeltheMcWitch · 25/11/2012 13:40

OOh. Dan Stevens is not in all of S4...linky but will be in Xmas spesh, and maybe 1st ep of S4.

How will Matty die? Will Lady Mary pass on syphilis? Will Lord 6 stab him to death in a row over the estate? And more importantly, what info will he leave in his letter-from-the-grave that he will have to secrete somewhere, as is the DA rule?

squoosh · 25/11/2012 13:52

I'm bloody delighted!

MrsjREwing · 25/11/2012 14:22

Lady M will have a baby boy or a new cousin will marry Edith in S6.

CaroleService · 25/11/2012 14:26

Shooting accident, I reckon - they'll have to gone to Scotland for the season

diddl · 25/11/2012 19:50

Ooh great!

I hope Mary has a boy, & then the other heir returns & marries Edith!

ripsishere · 26/11/2012 06:36

Found you. We watched it, as a family we were hugely disappointed in this series. It was a characature. Bates and Anna were tedious, Tom was a drip - how can a freedom fighting upper class twit hater agree to live amongst his enemies? Cousin Isobel still needs a kick in the fanny and Mary's acting was atrocious.
Very Envy about missing Alan Carr and Thomas.

diddl · 26/11/2012 07:06

M&M were so boring.

Pretty predictable angst about about a baby & both being seen & treated if necessary!

Mind you, if DS leaves, that gives JF the chance to get the "oik" out of the way & have Downton staying in Aristocratic handsHmm

Can´t see why the tedious pair got so much air time tbhh & nothong for the Lady Edith character.

& then the ridiculous 5 mins of Rose having an affair-oh wait, she´s been saved just in time!

ripsishere · 26/11/2012 07:21

But was she saved in time? could she have had carnal knowledge of the cad before Super Matt flew in to save her.
I'm on a roll now. Shirley Macleaine was so miscast. She has had so much work done, I almost didn't recognize her.
Still adore Daisy and Mrs Patmore. I did read that there is possibly a romance for Mrs P in the next series. I hope so.
