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.

I love their little comments...so understated. 2 hours...how very expensive!

Meanwhile, Rose is being a bright young thing at one of those den's of iniquity known as Jazz clubs.

Dante's Inferno

Goodness me, that is as far removed from Downton as possible. They all go to find Rose in a dodgy club.

Oh a Jazz Club and they have all arrived and looking duly shocked

So, Rose is up to no good with a married man. Meanwhile, Matthew is called upon to sort things out.

Matthew is such a lovely person. He's rescued Rose and lays down a few conditions.

Matthew jumps in to save Rose really dropping herself right in it. Foolish girl thinks this older married gent wants to marry her

Childcare in the Victoran era

Love the expression on Matthew’s face.

When did "big girl's blouse" fall into common usage?

Matthew is seeking an opinion on potential problems after the tingle episode.

ooops...Matthew and Mary meet at the doctor's and weren't expecting to see each other.

I was thinking just the very same. I wouldn't thought it was an expression from the 1920s.

Ah, so Matthew and Mary are both seeing the same fertility doctor.

I love the colour of Mary's outfit.

Oh these very personal visits to a Doctor. Both at same one. Now perhaps they will talk to each other more

Mary it seems had a mysterious problem with the lady bits so it was all her fault...goodness knows what it could have been or how it would have made a difference. It was never explained and I simply have no idea what on earth it was all about.

Watch out for Mr Molesley's googlie!!

Yes a bit mysterious really. Can't figure out how an operation helped. Still a man wrote the script so euphemisms to the fore

Jimmy is becoming a bit rude and obnoxious

Feels like a plot device of some kind based on no particular medical knowledge.

Violet is very funny with Rose.

I think we know quite a lot about plot devices from OG!

Violet is so devious.

Mr Bates is trying to help Thomas out over the O'Brien and no reference situation. It is very generous of him in the circumstances.

No. No. No...Robert. Not a Ponzi scheme.

An argument ensues over how the Downton estate is to be managed. Lord G, as expected, is dead against such modernisation.

Ooh goodness Thomas is being all humble. Bates offering strategy to get back at O'brien.
