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.

Edith does need a life of her own.

Ethel meanwhile is not having a good time with the locals.

I’m here, but Mumsnet is being difficult

Mary looking longingly at the baby. Christening being planned in Catholic church

Daisy really can't stand Ivy because she fancies Alfred.

Tom doesn't think the family want to be involved. Ahhh....such a sweet baby.

Magi84 · 30/04/2025 21:12

Magi84 · 30/04/2025 21:13

Brill line - I’m very fond of diamonds.

Miss O'Brien is stirring and feeding Thomas things he wants to hear.

Rhubarb01 · 30/04/2025 21:16

I suppose they are all still in mourning as they are all still dressed in black.

Back handed compliments from Violet about Edith not getting any younger.

The bombshell over the baby's christening. Religion can cause so much upset.

Carson acts like a strict headmaster. He really is a pompous so and so.

Yes, but there is a heart beneath all the pomp.

Poor old Matthew worried if he is the problem when it comes to them starting a family

Still both stressing about starting a family. Goodness knows how advanced fertility treatment was in those days...probably non-existent.

Rhubarb01 · 30/04/2025 21:19

Thomas thinks he and Jimmy are kindred spirits.

Magi84 · 30/04/2025 21:20

Miss O'brien on a mission to stir up trouble for Thomas

Magi84 · 30/04/2025 21:21

Alfred is very blunt telling Ivy James is not interested

Rhubarb01 · 30/04/2025 21:22

Poor Thomas, it's so mean to mess with his feelings like that. He is a tortured soul given the intolerance of the times.

Magi84 · 30/04/2025 21:22

Thomas making a move on James.

Thomas has given in to his feelings and is taking his chances by approaching a sleeping Jimmy.
