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.

Even in her lowest moments Mary still makes snide remarks about Edith

Elements of Charlotte Lucas with Edith at the dinner party...if you think of Sir Anthony Strallen as Mr Collins.

What a boring old so and so Sir Anthony is.

I was thinking her dress looked very Regency

Mrs Patmore really can't see what she's doing anymore.

Now it is salt on the dessert. Mrs P must own up soon she can!'t see

If Mrs Patmore has cataracts, then I can sympathise though I think mine got sorted very quickly!

Mr Bates has an ally in Anna.

Carson comping to Mrs P's rescue it seems

Gosh how nasty the relationship is between Mary and Edith. The stakes are rising.

Matthew is passed over again. How hilarious this play is for the old duffer.

Even Matthew won't speak to poor Edith.

Mary is being insufferable.

I love Lord G's comment about Mary and toys!

Caught Thomas and O'Brien out - serves them right.

Well, we know that Matthew likes Mary and Mary likes Matthew but she really is being stupid.

Anna and Mr Bates music...he has a secret and he's not free. Ahhhh...Anna loves him

You've blown it with Cousin Matthew...serves Mary right.

Indeed. Sums things up, as did Edith.

Good for you.Matthew

Violet breaks with tradition and declares Mr Molesly the winner. Loud Bravo's from Isabel. She did at least see the truth of what they were saying.

Cora's hat is huuuuuge!

Good on you, Lady G. You've done the right thing!

What is Edith doing???!???

Ooh, Edith has written to the Turkish Ambassador. Crikey that is really pushing things. She means to get her revenge big time. The problem is anything that rebounds on Mary also rebounds on the whole family. She may come to regret her actions but we will see.

Stitching her elder sister up by the looks of it.
