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.

Oh crikey Edith is writing to Turkish Eembassy

I still can't get used to the shorter time!

Well as ever lots going on with everyone in the family and downstairs. See you next week.

Yes, great episode. So many shenanigans. They are all as bad as each other. Looking forward to next week. See you then. Have a good week everyone.

As a younger sister, even when things were at their worst between us, I’d never have stopped so low and do anything like THAT to my own elder sister.

I agree. I'm also the younger sister, but when push comes to shove, however much you may argue about petty things, blood is thicker than water and you stick together and back each other up. However, I don't suppose that would make for great drama

Are we ready for episode 6?

Anybody there

Just pressed play now.

Yes, here. "What another one!!!"

Pressed play

Goodness me, Lord Grantham will not be pleased his youngest daughter is amongst all that.

Good Dr confirms cataracts for Mrs P

Lady Sybil is a bit of a rebel. It's very rowdy...not quite Fiona Bruce and Question Time is it?

I have my check up next week after my cataract procedure.

So, Mrs P needs some treatment.

Oh dear Mr Bates let's cat out of the bag

Drama...souffle for the first course...whatever next!!

Mr Bates tells Lord G Sybil has been to the demonstration.

Oh dear Daisy steady on

.... and now Lord G blows a gasket.

Brouhaha...such a great word. Not sure Lord G should blow up in front of the servants.

The husband tells the wife what her opinions can be. Oh heavens above!

Violet is such a contradiction, considering she is always giving her own opinion on everything.

Oh dear the Turkish ambassador has gears a scurrilous tale about Lady Mary
