The Our Girl Addicts Thread 73 Stay focused. we're now watching Downton Abbey

[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.

Lord G is so flipping modern. I don't think he would have really been quite so understanding...

Violet "amputation in the library, resuscitation in the pantry....and pocketing the spoons."

Violet is a bit obnoxious at the moment really

William looks so annoyingly pompous and what a rotten uniform they used to wear.

Yes uniforms always look so itchmaking I think

Mr Laing tries to warn him. What exactly did they think they were fighting for...hard to say.

Mary doesn't love Richard at all. She knows that and Anna kind of tries to tell her not to marry him, but without really giving an opinion.

Lady Edith was not expecting that!

Mrs Drake has made sure that Edith hussy doesn't carry on with her husband any more. What was Edith thinking...I guess she was just desperate for a little bit of excitement, but not with a married man, dear Edith.

Oh oh Mrs Drake has taken the bull by the horns. Quite right Edith is a bit of a disruptive character

Another episode with lots for us to comment upon. Enjoyed that.

Again plenty going on. Certainly gave a good idea of how war disrupts lives on the home front in.many ways.

See you all next week. Really enjoying this and how well it flows along.

Yes, same time next week. Hope I didn't miss anything at the end but my phone rang.

Yes, the time certainly files by and some of Violet's comments really give me a laugh which is always welcome. See you all next week. Have a good one

What channel/time are you watching?

Hi, we just stream the next episode from whichever source we can access at 9pm on a Wednesday and do a communal watchalong. I'm using ITVX but some also use the DVD if preferred. We'll be doing episode 3 of series 2 next Wednesday if you'd like to join in
