This is our tenth anniversary of sharing our thoughts on Our Girl series one and have subsequently watched the other three series, followed by Soldier Soldier, The Musketeers, Spooks and Hustle so thought it was time to try something different. Please join us and share your thoughts if you have ever been a fan of Downton Abbey. We are currently on series one, episode three.

Violet accuses Mary of reading too many novels and trying to be too honourable.

"You can normally find an Italian who's not too picky" love Violet.

Magi84 · 04/12/2024 21:46

Violet really does have her own way about sorting things out.

She most certainly does! I do like the suggestion of finding a tame Italian for Mary if everything else fails.

Yes you can always depend on Violet to sum it all up perfectly. Another good episode

Great episode. Everything setting up for the series finale. Downton was certainly very good particularly in the first few series.

Yes all good for Tuesday. I will set myself my usual alarm. I have a permanent one on my phone for Wednesdays because I once fell asleep and missed the start of the watchalong Grin

Sorry, ladies. I had a meal out early evening and the service was SO slow, with the result I didn’t get home in time. And I can’t do Tuesday next week, but I will watch both episodes and read your comments so I keep up.

It's the last one next week eejit, so why don't we do Thursday instead? (Hoping the other two ladies see this in advance).

Thursday would be OK with me. I'll keep track of what you decide.

Rhubarb01 · 05/12/2024 08:25

Yes, Thursday is fine for me too.

Ilovelblue · 10/12/2024 08:00

Ladies, eejit is otherwise occupied on Thursday unfortunately so do we want to watch tonight or Thursday?

OP posts:
Magi84 · 10/12/2024 16:14

I don't mind either one so will wait and see what you decide.

Ilovelblue · 10/12/2024 17:44

Rhu you have the casting vote!

OP posts:
Rhubarb01 · 10/12/2024 18:08

Ok, happy to do tonight. See you at 9pm 😊

Ilovelblue · 10/12/2024 20:54

I'm here.

OP posts:
Rhubarb01 · 10/12/2024 20:57

Evening! Yes, I'm here too. Apron starched, copper pans polished until I can see my face in them and ready to pander to every whim of my employers and betters.

Magi84 · 10/12/2024 20:58

I am here too
