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.

Matthew gives a cryptic "my eyes have been opened" - the mystery of Mary indeed.

Granny America is still in residence.

Violet makes a rather caustic comment about Cora's mother's skin - she must be a sun worshipper.

Are we on our own Rhu?

The old duffer is still about, it seems (he was on The One Show earlier this week) Hope you didn't see it, ilove because he gave away a bit of upcoming plot!

Possibly ilove

HELLO!!! ANYONE THERE???

I did see it yes!

Did you pick up that Bones, aka Olly Rix, is supposed to have been a doctor in the SAS?

Yep...ironic as he was also called Bones in OG i.e. a doctor?

Meanwhile - Mathew is being bloody honourable yet again. Oh get rid of that poker up your back, man!!

Oh dear, Mrs Hughes is worrying about a breast lump.

Sorry starting late. Will catch up hopefully

I loved Mrs Patmore's pragmatic approach - better to pay money to a doctor than to an undertaker!

Shocking, Matthew still feels awkward about being in Mary's bed...the bed of doom! Abandon hope....etc

Oh, blimey...who was that we just saw soliciting for business? Yep, it's Ethel.

I wouldn't want the maid walking in, would you? However much Mary likes Anna.

Ethel reappears.

Edith is being very determined with the old duffer.

Yes Sir Anthony, you are too old for Edith. She is really throwing herself at him.

Is Thomas about to stitch the new footman up (sorry forgotten his name already).

Violet is scheming with Mary now to get Granny America to save Downton and plug the financial hole.

Annna visiting Mr Bates still sleuthing

"I do love you so terribly much!" gosh it's very Brief Encounter speak

" I should hate to go there!" yes, so true Violet. Visits to America are bottom of my list at present too.

Mrs Patmore is really being g so supportive for Mrs H

Tea with the two grandmothers.

Alfred has burnt a hole in Matthew's tail coat - thanks to Thomas's advice.
