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.

This guy is really laying it on thick but I am still not convinced

Rhubarb01 · 12/02/2025 21:27

Here's Violet trying to distract Isobel from her plans to repurpose Downton Abbey forever. It's hilarious.

Ilovelblue · 12/02/2025 21:28

Violet is very cunning the way she is tantalising Isobel with a possible new project to get her out of the way and to stop her trying to make Downton into a place for rehab.

Violet is steering Isabel on some different mission. Clever

Rhubarb01 · 12/02/2025 21:30

ooh...it's like the denouement of a Poirot case - everyone assembled in the Library!

Rhubarb01 · 12/02/2025 21:30

Mary is indignant on Matthew's behalf.

Magi84 · 12/02/2025 21:30

His Lordship spilling the beans re the Canadian

Rhubarb01 · 12/02/2025 21:31

Matthew sounds very bitter indeed...who can blame him.

Magi84 · 12/02/2025 21:32

Oh goodness another one who was supposed to marry Mary

Rhubarb01 · 12/02/2025 21:32

Oh dear, Ethel's bounder has been killed, so there's no prevailing on him to do right by her.

Ilovelblue · 12/02/2025 21:33

The father of Ethel's baby has been killed.

This housemaid and Lord G? Hmmm.

Ethel is buying this story. She is being won over. He must recognise a soft touch.

Magi84 · 12/02/2025 21:34

Edith thinks the Canadian is the real thing. Is that wishful thinking for her

Rhubarb01 · 12/02/2025 21:36

Mr Bates is going to London about his wife and he wishes she wasn't around any more.

Magi84 · 12/02/2025 21:37

Poor Ethel she really is in a sorry way

Rhubarb01 · 12/02/2025 21:38

The war is over and the armistice will happen on the 11th of November (funny how it looks like the middle of summer!)

Magi84 · 12/02/2025 21:38

The Warcis over

Rhubarb01 · 12/02/2025 21:39

Cora has a great hat! They must be so relieved that Isobel has given up with Downton. Cora and Violet are very funny Grin

Ilovelblue · 12/02/2025 21:39

How arrogant of Isobel when she says she can't continue the work of Downton as well as helping the plight of the refugees. Well done to Violet though for selling the idea to remove Isobel, at least temporarily.

OP posts:
Magi84 · 12/02/2025 21:40

Oh dear these conversations with Isobel and Violet and Cora are quite hilarious

Magi84 · 12/02/2025 21:41

The Canadian has a hissy fit

Rhubarb01 · 12/02/2025 21:41

The meeting between Mr and Mrs Bates did not go well and he has a mark on his face...hmmm!

Magi84 · 12/02/2025 21:42

I am afraid I find Daisy a bit ridiculous

Rhubarb01 · 12/02/2025 21:45

Magi84 · 12/02/2025 21:42

She is wracked with misplaced guilt. She didn't perhaps love William enough to want to marry him, but she doesn't need to beat herself up about having made him happy before he died. I guess she's just expressing her grief in a different way.

Ilovelblue · 12/02/2025 21:45

Magi84 · 12/02/2025 21:42

I agree. I know she is naive but marrying William in his hour of need was a lovely thing to do and he did it for all the right reasons.
