I'm abroad at the mo, no Downton! I'm relying on MN to fill me in don't fail me now vipers

Oh there had to be something for Mary, didn't there!

BoF - yes I am having a nice Xmas thank you. Hope you are too and I am sorry to hear about your youngest.

I think Carson has a hereditary condition called essential tremor as he said his father had it though it can
Skip a generation. Julian Fellows has it too. I have had it since I was about 15. It can progressively get worse with age and there is no cure.

Oh this is all getting far too happy.

What we need an abandonment at the alter, someone keeling over and being carted off, some sort of tragic denouement.

Who's that tom seated? Who he told they like strong women?

Editor's editor.

Is she not Edith's editor?

Anna is going to go into labour, isn't she?

Michael Gregson is going to turn up at the alter

Do women get hot and flustered before they go into labour then?

Oh thank goodness. I thought it was going to be a FWAAF re-run there?

oh no! the hairdryer! Epson Salts! the bath!

Its a Baaaaaaby!

Of course thanks!

noooo its over!

hang on, did we get a baxter and molesley hook up?

Watching this in noisy room with subtitles on and there was a brilliant #splatters sound effect subtitle as Anna's waters broke.

I thought that Daisy was going to at least burn some of her hair off!

Oh I shed a wee tear.

Well, that was just lovely!

Lovely!

Aarrrrrrhhh! Put me out of my agony! What happened?

That was so twee and corny. Thank goodness it is all over! Even Mrs Patmore copped off.

Even the cook got a bit of love interest there or was I imagining that?
