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.

You can see why Isabel will be getting on the Grantham's collective nerves.

Violet is such a snob sometimes and yet at others she is surprisingly insightful.

Poor Edith being told off for loitering by Isabel.

Carson and Violet dancing together? How very modern!

Oh to be threatened behind the laurels! Golly what a thought.

Love that bus

They really are horrible about Lavinia, poor girl.

Anna spots someone who looks like Mr Bates.

Daisy suspects William is going to propose on his last night before going off to fight.

Why would Mr Bates be in the area?

Sybil always thinks so positively about everyone.

Here goes O'Brien winding up Cora again.

If only Sybil knew why Edith was no longer at the farm!

Looks like Mary thinks she can use Sir Richard like a 1917 version of google.

Tom has been called up and is going to be a conchie a particularly tough route to take in WW1

Gosh, a bit patronising of Mary regarding the new fangled hair curlers. Perhaps she could have practised with them herself!

Didn't the conscientious objectors end up in prison?

Mr Laing must feel as if he is living on Mars.

Yes, they did in that war. At least they gave them useful jobs in WW2.

O'Brien is clearly still feeling very guilty about that bar of soap episode.

Can't blame Robert for putting his foot down. Isabel really is riding roughshod over them.

Cora just sounds so silly when she spouts O'Brien's rubbish.

Oops, Mr Laing has opened his mouth and told everyone about Mrs Patmore's nephew.

Thomas is going to lord it over the staff, it seems.

Oh no Mr Laing. I don't think you were supposed to reveal all that about Mrs Patmore's nephew.

And here comes Thomas.

The walking wounded have arrived.

Sorry been away on a phone call. Will try to catch up and post
