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.

Sorry wrong episode but sorted now

Granny is still trying to matchmake for Mary with Matthew and now she is suspicious of Sybil's activities.

Looks like it's all about to hit the fan...Downton style

I'm having an IT malfunction. Watching on DVd and rebooting laptop.

Sounds awful, ilove, here the rain which episode?

Isabel is becoming rather rude. Bossy boots

Cora is right to assert her authority in her own home, but I do feel a little bit sorry for Isabel. Still...a bit awkward all round.

Meanwhile, Sybil and Tom have yet another meeting in the garage area.

Episode 4.

Mary keeing a watchful eye on Branson and Sybil

Mary (actor) did sing earlier in her career, so she has quite a nice voice.

Thanks - mumsnet wouldn’t let me on at first, with a lot of stuff about premium and subscribing.

Mary sounds so fed up with it all. "I've decided to take him" as if he's in the Harrods sale or something

I'm back with you again.

Isabel has absented herself, but I can't blame her. It wasn't a good situation for anyone.

A relief for everyone as Isabel goes off

Hope you're having a lovely holiday eejit.

Mary has written to Matthew...meanwhile back in the trenches Matthew and Williams are going on patrol.

Did William just refer to Lady Mary as "Mary"!!! Crikey he is above himself.

Good for you Sybil give her a snappy answer

O'Brien is such a horrible woman, a real troublemaker. And Thomas is just as bad. He's getting ideas above his station now he's no longer part of the household staff.

Not much for the servants to do now that Isabel has gone away.

Oh what are Thomas and O'Brian scheming about now

I realise now that I must have missed most of this second series. I wonder if the idea of all the gruesome war stuff had put me off at the time or whether I was doing something more exciting? (The latter is doubtful on a Sunday night however).

Is Mr Moslesly after a bit of extra work?

Oh Matthew and William in trouble
