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.

I'm still watching but also enjoying a piece of a rather nice ginger cake, made by my own fair hand. I couldn't type and eat sticky cake at the same time.

Ethel's first attempts aren't the best.

Kidney souffle....yuck!!

Sybil is not looking good.

Sybil looks blooming awful.

Carson is up in arms about the employment of Ethel.

Oh Carson, get off your soap box!

Clarkson and the Professor or whatever he is are at loggerheads.

Violet had two children for goodness sake, Lord G is such a prude. The doctors are arguing, not a good sign.

The panic is awful. The whole family are involved now.

I'm sure Sybil could do without all the comings and goings!

It's a girl!!

The baby is born. A little girl. ahhh

Dr Clarkson looks annoyed.

Oops - Thomas getting handstand with James

O'Brien keeps stirring, telling Jimmy he needs to stay in with Thomas or risk his job.

Sybil has taken a turn for the worse. She is fitting. Dr Clarkson warned and Sir Phillip wouldn't listen.

Sybil is very unwell. Dr Clarkson was right after all.

Lord G can’t believe it - he should have listened to the family doc.

Oh heavens, she's gone.

What an awful death...I remember the first time this was shown, they kept it so quiet that no one knew she was going to die and we were all shocked to the core.

Poor Tom, poor little baby. How dreadful. These things used to happen so often back in the bad old days.

I'd forgotten how traumatic this was when I first watched it.

Thomas is very affected by Sybil's death.

Even Thomas is very moved by Sybil's death. They had worked together at the hospital during the war of course.

I couldn't help it, Cora has made me cry.

Well, this is a heartrending episode.

Meanwhile, Matthew is overheard talking business and Mary will be livid.
