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.

Standing by for action

Evening all, I have dusted all the guest bedrooms, black-leaded the range and scrubbed all Mrs Patmore's dirty pans in the scullery, now getting ready to put my feet up in the servant's hall and have a nice cuppa....what's that Mrs P? Oh, I've got to make the tea for everyone else

I'm here.

Not heard "partly" before. Is that a Scottish expression?

It's -1C here at the moment but thankfully not as cold as it was last week.

I'm nursing a poorly cat as well. He's just cost me £100 at the vet.

Pressed play...yes, it's gone off chilly here tonight again as well!

Ah, I do hate when my pets are poorly because they just can't tell you how they feel.

Ooh, Lady Sybil is running a Job Centre.

Poor Edith!! that gets said so often.

Thomas is att the wine noe

A very uneasy relationship between Mr Bates and Thomas.

A friend of mine was a middle child. She always says she was ignored when she was young.

Have I messed up. Which episode are we on?

The rumours are circulating about Mary and Cora knows there could be more to it than just being beyond your shelf life.

Episode 5.

ah, I'm right, just about a minute behind you.

ooh, Lady Mary's bedroom. Abandon hope all ye who enter there

Violet always wins the flower show it seems.

Five cars...a traffic jam

Five cars parked in the marketplace e what is the world coming too

Five cars! How appalling is that?

Miss O'Brien and Thomas are evil schemers and poor Daisy is so naive.

Polishing the biscuit jar

I love an apple charlotte - haven't had one for yonks!

What a waste of biscuits.

How Very Dare you!! - Mrs Patmore is hiding something.
