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.

Poor Tom making faux pas everywhere including calling servants by the wrong name.

Ot keen on riding. City types it seems. Mary stuck with Lord Gillingham

Poor Tom, he must find all this social stuff a total minefield.

Mr Molesley delivering groceries. Good he is finding honest work even if some are making comments

Nelly Melba to be confined to her room with a tray.

Mr Sansom seems to be a bit of a card shark.

Wouldn't you think she should be upstairs with the Granthams, whatever Carson might think! He's the biggest snob of them all.

Edith is trying to find ways to get her father to talk to Mr R

I don't understand playing cards at all, sorry. Well, not where money etc is in the mix.

Oh it's Nigel Harmer from Strictly, isn't it Rhu?

Mr Gillingham is chatting up Anna a tad too much.

Was the money why Lord Grantham didn’t play.

Yes it is!

Might have been, he is a bit of tight wad sometimes.

Lord G is quite rude really.

Like the topiary arches

Oh dear a card sharp in the group

Poor Tom having to dance with Lady someone

This must be one of these fancy modern dances like a Turkey trot.

Oh Rose always gets it wrong. Matthew's gramophone

I've been to Powerscourt gardens, does that count?

It's Matthews gramophone. Memories of that dance with Mary when Lavinia overheard them.

Tom doesn't help himself by telling Edna a bit too much about his personal feelings.

Mary feels she was better person when with Matthew

Yes, not sure if Tom has quite grasped the status stuff really. He needs to keep Edna at arm's length.
