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.

Hooray, back in the room!!

I too am using my phone hence nutritious instead of furious. Seems to do it's own thing as I am sure my spelling is not that bad!

It made me laugh Magi I'm sure his Lordship wants to make sure his guest is well fed

Poor Tom. He is finding it difficult to rub along with his in-laws.

Meanwhile, the new footman is having his interview and it seems he's a bit of a ladies man.

I'd forgotten just how despicable Mr Bryant is.

Oh dear, it's the Bounder's father again. Gosh he's awful. Mrs Bounder is trying to be kind.

Oh that nasty Mr Bryant is back

The Bounder's father is showing the usual complete lack of understanding as to why women fall into prostitution - imagining it's a lifestyle choice.

Isobel is sounding rather patronising again and not really appreciating the economic reality of someone in Ethel's position.

I love Mary's dress.

Alfred looking like a puppy who's been rescued from a puddle....a bloody Great Dane puppy!

Carson decking on the footman. Difficult choices

Ethel has handed Charlie over to his grandparents.

Ethel is giving up her son to the Bounder's parents. How heartbreaking. Mrs Bounder wants to be kind and he will have a decent life, but it's so cruel.

Oh poor Ethel. Heart breaking.

Mrs Hughes at least understands a little better than Isobel.

Now what will become of Ethel

Oh Bates has been plotting to involve his cellmate

Carson has stitched up his rotten cell mate. That man is a hard as nails. I do hope Anna truly knows who she has married.

Meanwhile, Sybil has made it back to Downton in one piece.

Oh thank heaven here is Sybil.

Imagine squabbling over who takes what into the dining room!

Oh oh seems Thomas might fancy the new footman. Trouble afoot methinks

Oh Daidy wants help now

Goodness... Edith has written to a newspaper, saints preserve us! Lord G puts her down again.

That is James put in his place.
