The Our Girl Addicts Thread 74 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 two, episode seven.

The rehearsal in progress for Matthew and Mary's wedding.

Pressed play...and it's now Spring 1920

Matthew and Mary are doing the practice for their wedding.

Seems Thomas is as nasty as ever

Yes, Thomas has so much empathy.

Tom and Sybil, especially Tom, are the subject of discussion with Violet, Isobel and Cora.

Violet thinks they should just be bold and own Tom as one of theirs. Isobel is such a stirrer sometimes.

Miss O'Brien is looking for a job for her nephew - she and Thomas never miss a an opportunity. There she goes getting round Cora again.

Anna is on a mission to hopefully clear Mr Bates' name

Yep, Anna is listening to her inner Miss Marple.

Carson is nitpicking. Too tall to be a footman

Anna is doing her best to get Bates out of prison.

I know the part of Carson is an integral role but I have to say, he is starting to annoy the hell out of me. He is so pompous!

Yep he is more conservative than the family.

Meanwhile, Mary and Matthew are having a bit of an ooh er flirty conversation - going to bed and nakedness, no less!

Lord G has gone to see his accountant (or maybe his solicitor) and his finances aren't looking too healthy just now.

The lawyer is explaining about that Lord G's railway investment was not a good move. The Crawkeys are broke it seems

Looks like Lord G has some money concerns. He's made some poor investments.

..... and it's not even his own money. It's Cora's.

Make that the Crawleys as Crawkeys does not quite fit!

It's like a royal wedding in the village with all the bunting. And here's the old buffer again.

The delightful Sir Anthony puts in an appearance.

It seems living is not the same as staying. Molleseley queries if Isobel will move with them. It seems not.

Poor old Molesley...always being cast to one side. Matthew just never seems to think of Molesley's best interests.

Matthew declares he wants to live more simply after the wedding. No valet which means Mr Molesley won't be following him up to Downton.

O'brien really has gone off Thomas

"Are you really that tall?" - oh Violet....

Oh Vioket ...a glass hammer indeed
