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 Mrs H what can she do

So now Mr Bates knows the story.

This must be very painful for Mr Bates to hear. It's probably much worse than he was expecting. Now he's a very angry man, even if he keeps it under control.

Mrs H has had to keep back the absolute truth but Mr B knows. He is extremely angry

Tom is thinking of leaving and going to America.

Tom drops his bombshell that he is thinking of emigrating.

Mr Molesley is very funny. He and Carson have some good exchanges.

Mr Molesley isn't sure if he wants Alfred's old job or not (even though Alfred hasn't been offered his apprenticeship as yet).

Molesley is being difficult.

Oh Molesley not keen on being JUST a footman

Mr Bates and Anna have a heart to heart. Mr Bates doesn't believe the story about a stranger. Anna was right that Mr Bates would kill the valet if he could. Understandable feelings, but he just can't act on his anger.

Mr Bates is a bit creepy sometimes, but he is wonderfully understanding.

A very serious conversation between Anna and Mr Bates.

Bates having a word with Anna and is telling her he thi ks it was the valet..Anna knows he would do something dreadful for him as it would risk being found guilty.

Oh dear, here's Mr Molesley appearing at the wrong time to say he'll take Alfred's job....which isn't now available.

Oh poor Anna but now she can perhaps begin to heal

Carson isn't happy that Mr Molesley slighted him. However, he seeems quite gleeful that the job is no longer on offer as Alfred is staying put.

Oh dear, a paper knife has gone missing and Violet thinks young Pegg may have helped himself and it was gifted by the King of Sweden!

Carson not mincing his words with Molesley and really kind to Alfred.

Anna is going to move back to the cottage, so that's all good. But does Mr Bates believe them both? Nah....

Lady Mary getting info from Mr Drew.

Anna announces to Mrs Hughes that she will be returning to the cottage she and Mr Bates share.

Daisy at least is glad that Alfred didn't succeed.

ooooh....Mr Bates...be afraid....be very afraid!!!!

Gosh, that's gone quickly tonight.

Is Bates going to do something stupid?
