[Ilovelblue]

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.

Carson doesn't approve of having a telephone installed. I wonder what he would be like with the new technologies of today's world?

If the likes of Lord and Lady G and Carson know all about Thomas and O'Brien, I don't know why they don't get rid of the pair of them.

Violet is talking sense to Mary.

How selfish of one's lady's maid to get married!

Hard to imagine that O'Brien is fond of anyone, Cora is so blinkered.

So selfish to leave to get married. How could she

Poor Mrs Patmore is scared stiff.

She literally has to sit down 😂

Obviously the Granthams' culinary needs outweigh those of Matthew and his mother.

Mrs Patmore is going up to London to see an eye specialist.

Oh Mrs!P is to go to London to see a specialist. His Lordship is a kind mann

Mary is totally confused and trying to hedge her bets. She is trying to be honest about what has been said about the situation, but it looks like this isn't going to work out.

Mrs Patmore v Mrs Bird.

There is something weird about the way that Mr Bates always speaks in a very formal way such as always saying cannot rather than can't and will not rather than won't. It irks me a bit.

Meanwhile, kitchen wars are about to erupt now Mrs Bird has arrived.

Oh two cooks in the same kitchen. Mrs Bird is quite a tartar.

Serves you right for hearing that O'Brien! Embarrassing but true.

Mrs Patmore wants Daisy to sabotage the food 😂

O'brien a bit miffed and unfortunately that could be dangerous as she is such a schemer

Here's the telephone man and Edith's suitor.

Listeners hear no good of themselves? O'Brien overhears what Lord and Lady G are discussing.

Sybil jumps right in at the mention of a secretary being needed.

Oh the old duffer is back and Edith looks pleased

Mrs P's operation and recovery is a week. I was in the operating theatre 10 minutes!

Looks like Anna is getting a little holiday in London.

Anna is on a mission.
