[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.

Lord G is still trying to talk himself out of what happened. Cora is not going to forgive him for a long time.

Tom is still determined to continue with his plans to leave and find a job.

Tom wants to call the baby Sybil. Edith being very sympathetic.

ooh dear, Lord G can't countenance the idea of Catholic!

The baby is to be called Sybil and christened as a Catholic. Lord G does not look happy at all.

Ethel asks Mrs P for cookery tips.

I do get fed up with the Mr Bates in prison story.

Lord G refers to baby Sybil as being a "left footer". Mary is going to stick up for Tom, she promised Sybil that she would after all.

Lord G really not doing very well in finding allies for his protestations

How awful, to believe that aristocrats can never be unhappily married...they just lived separate lives.

Me too! It has dragged on for ages.

Daisy is doing a great impression of Mrs Patmore these days.

Anyone with use of their limbs can make a salmon mousse according to Mrs P

Isabel is doing her best to try to cheer up "the girls".

So concerned about how they are dressed all the time.

All in love with the wrong people...very Shakespearian comedy!

The dinner with the Rev Travis will be like pulling teeth I think.

"Tribe"

Gosh, how disrespectful of Lord G. I rather like Cora's caustic comment about Debrett's.

Oh Lord is really getting on my nerves with all this prejudicial.nonsense

Thomas's antennae popped up at the mention of being different.

Oh strong declarations of love from Mary and Matthew

😢

Daisy is practising her Strictly dance steps.

William's dad is such a nice man.

William's Dad is very forward thinking, wanting to encourage Daisy to take on the farm and make something of herself.
