The Our Girl Addicts Thread 75 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 three, episode seven.

An 8.30 start is ok with me for next week.

I think that's a good idea.

Ooops, that wasn't the bit I wanted to quote!

Pressing play...now

Pressed play

Here goes for episode 8.

Oh heavens, Carson is not very understanding of Thomas' sexuality, is he!

Carson's sympathetic words are not designed to display any real empathy.

Lord G sorting out cricket team and needs Thomas

Gosh they are always nipping up to London - it must have taken 3 or 4 hours at least in those days.

Overheard conversations about doctors...Matthew's ears are pricking up.

8:30 might be a tad difficult for me.

I have never understood cricket at all.

Ditto...and it's never interested me.

Oh Moseley has cricket in his blood. Bet he is bowled out first ball

Miss O'Brien is still stirring and trying to pull everyone's strings.

Oh O'brien has really got in for Thomas

Oh, Rose is going to have a whale of a time with cousin Violet 😂

You almost feel sorry for Thomas at this point but he has been a nasty and conniving character throughout.

Indeed he has reaped what he has sown but he is a very lonely soul and become bitter too.

Love Violet’s remedy for not understanding a word.

Mary keeping Matthew at arm's length.

God forbid Carson should be a liberal!!

Oh my goodness Jimmy is going to take steps. Carson not sure he likes that idea!

Carson is between a rock and a hard place over this.
