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.

Evening! I'm here and hope I have no technical hitches this week!

Evening all, pressed play...

Lonely Mr Bates wends his way to Downton Abbey, whilst Anna braces herself for another difficult day.

Pressed play

Poor Mr Bates. I can sort of understand why Anna isn't telling him but it's still hard on the poor chap.

Alfred is auditioning for Master Chef it seems.

Is there anyone else on parade?

So, they plan to take over one of the farms on their estate for themselves.

Meanwhile Tony Gillingham is going to marry Mabel L-F

Sorry - slow to load.

I'm here and Rhu, yes.

Well Lord Gillingham is out of the picture now though last week he didn't seem so sure!

Gosh, an electric sewing machine seems quite modern. I would have expected a treadle one.

Mr Bates is lurking in corners - "there's something of the night about him" to quote a politician.

Who is the doc’s waif, sorry gardener to be.

Some young lad I think eejit whose father has died perhaps? Or something of that ilk.

This farmer's son with Lord G is the recruitment sergeant from the pilot of Our Girl.

Oh yes! Of course. I knew I recognised him from somewhere.

Michael's gone AWOL in Germany...hmmmm!

Sorry I am late got unexpected visitor. Gone now. So will catch up

Violet is so funny...a halo like wearing a tiara round the clock.

Violet has some amazing one liners, doesn't she?

Love Violet’s comment about Isobel’s gratitude.

Tom is lovely with his little girl.

Aren't they enlightened employers wishing him well and a new career, although Lord G will probably be thinking of the money he can save.

Anna is grilled by Mary about why she is staying in the house.
