[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.

How wonderfully convenient...Dr Clarkson explains away the temporary paralysis.

Dr Clarkson back peddling like mad

Unbridled joy indeed.

Mr Bates bought the arsenic that poisoned his wife...duff, duff, duff, duff, duff!!

Oops!

Mrs Bates has taken or been given poison

This may not look too well for Mr Bates since he bought the arsenic in the first place.

Sir Richard is now not pleased with the idea of being close to Downton especially as Matthew can walk again. However, Matthew announces their plans to marry and at Downton. Mary puts on a fixed smile.

Am I allowed to think Lavinia is a bit wet?

Yes because I think the same.

Yes, you are. She's sweet and kind though.

Definitely. I was searching for how I felt about her and you got it

Matthew and Lavinia marrying at Downton is really rubbing salt into the wound for Mary.

Garage moment. Sybil is going to leave with Tom...must be time for a kiss.

Lord G calls Cora stupid. Not good.

Cora is desperate to get Mary married off

Nothing like feeding your cake with brandy. If I make a Christmas cake I do it in October and spend the next two months feeding it...smells so lovely. I haven't done it for a few years though.

Oh the Bryan's are here. He seems a "nice" soul

The bounder's father is a bit gruff and in a hurry.

Mrs Hughes has realised it would not appear a good idea to see the Bryants

What a rude and ignorant man Mr Bryant is. Not very pleasant the way he brushes off the Granthams' hospitality.

Ethel isn't taking no for an answer. Oh blimey, she has burst into the dining room. Can't say I blame her though. What has she got to lose.

Oh blimey Ethel

The bounder's Dad discovers what a bounder his son was.

"I will tell you how you feel, Mrs Bounder's father"
