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 three, episode seven.

The cheeky maid has manoeuvred Tom to where she wants him. Mr Carson will go red with indignation.

All is not well in the Shrimpy household - looks like they are not a pair of happy bunnies.

His Lordship mentions divorce ..shock horror

Show quote history

Yes, a terrible scandal in those days. I suppose it might also be bad for Shrimpy's diplomatic career.

I know it's supposed to be muddy but Matthew was walking as if he was drunk there.

Lady Shrimpy is humiliating her lady's maid. What a cow!

Rhubarb01 · 14/05/2025 21:12

Violet thinks India would be a very bad idea for Rose's marriage prospects.

Magi84 · 14/05/2025 21:13

Oh Mrs Shrimpy is causing problems with her lady's maid calling on O'brien for aid. Bad show surely

Rhubarb01 · 14/05/2025 21:14

The doctor wants to take Isabel on a date to the fair as well. Looks like it's the place to be!

Carson still young - not old.

Carson would apparently rather stay at Downton than go on the jolly to the fair.

Oh Mrs!H telling Carrson off. Well said Mrs H.

Rhubarb01 · 14/05/2025 21:16

Rose is teaching Anna to dance a reel. How sweet.

Rhubarb01 · 14/05/2025 21:16

While the cat's away the mice do play...oh Jimmy and Alfred. Your sins will find you out.

eejittwo · 14/05/2025 21:17

Thomas is SUCH a bitch.

Rhubarb01 · 14/05/2025 21:18

What fun. Take your hands off him you minx.

Not sure the fancy man is really all that nice, patting the girl's bottom. I reckon he just wants a full-time cook at home.

My thoughts exactly

Rhubarb01 · 14/05/2025 21:21

Mr Rochester confesses the truth to Matthew. Awkward, but Matthew won't fully support his ideas.

Magi84 · 14/05/2025 21:21

Gregson opening up to Matthew. Not getting much encouragement

Rhubarb01 · 14/05/2025 21:22

Hooray, Downton win the tug of war. Jimmy makes a packet.

Magi84 · 14/05/2025 21:23

Locals don't look happy about losing tug of war

eejittwo · 14/05/2025 21:23

Um - Matthew talking of heather, but not exactly in evidence …

Rhubarb01 · 14/05/2025 21:24

Matthew counsels Mr Rochester to say his goodbyes. He is right of course, Lord G would blow a gasket and be "flabbergasted" if he knew the truth.

Ivy seems to be wearing a deck chair.
