[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.

Oh dear this ghastly man has spiked Tom's drink

Sir Anthony spills the beans on how Larry has spiked Tom's drink. Larry calling him the "grubby little chauffeur" does not go down at all well!

In defence of Tom, Matthew asks him to be his best man.

Matthew declares that Tom shall be his best man - laughed aloud at Isobel's "Bravo!!"

Matthew saves the day. On the other hand Edith gives her old duffer some credit for it too

Meanwhile Edith is practically simpering over the old buffer.

Even duffer...

Lord G tells Mary about the finances.

Lord G really has this money problem on his mind. Even Mary asks how her outfit looks the only word he can come up with is expensive.

Violet is not letting Tom get away with his speeches about uniform of the masses. He will wear a morning coat if he likes it or not.

Here's the mother-in-law. She looks like a character.

Poor Tom has been forced into morning dress for the wedding. He looks very uncomfortable.

Cora's mother arrives with a ton of luggage.

Oh marvellous here's Shirley McLain

MIL has a long line of requirements - a bit like a diva.

Mary is extremely interested in Matthew's inheritance and trying to track down the other person involved in Mr Swire's will.

Mary is still barking on about Reggie Swire's will. It's all so convenient. What a lucky chap Matthew is - first he gets Downton and then some other chap's money.

Matthew is all full of honour and duty again - he can't shake off the guilt over Lavinia's death.

Not good to be arguing the night before your wedding.

Fancy needing a few days to "get used to each other" how times have changed.

Oh heck Matthew that has put the cat among the pigeons

Not much love lost between Violet and MIL

Mrs Patmore has sussed somebody has been putting words into Daisy's mouth.

Violet always comes through and manages to surprise everyone

Mary confesses all to Anna who is such a good friend to her.

Tom is doing his duty as best man and giving Matthew good counsel.

Wise words from Tom.

Anna gives Mary some good advice.
