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.

Edith phones the 1920's version of google to get info on her editor.

Lord G under siege

🤣🤣

Mr Bates is blackmailing O'Brien over something. Thomas gave him some ammunition.

Oh a summons from the dowager

The cricket is all important, upstairs and downstairs.

Well whatever it was Bates said it has put the wind up O'Brien

Matthew is so diplomatic but Lord G refuses the olive branch.

Lord G only cares about the not at all bothered about Thomas except he is a good player

Tom is often the voice of reason.

Lord G in a huff

Ethel and Isabel are at Violet's and the Bounder's mother is there too.

Well here's a surprise. Mrs Bryant has made an appearance.

Well said Tom

At last a happyish ending for Ethel. At least the bounder's mother is kind.

Tom now has to play cricket. Talk about arm twisting. They are all champions at that

Looking better for Ethel.

I think Tom is as rubbish at batting as I used to be at school. I always put it down to being left handed.

The colours of Edith's outfit are gorgeous.

I like Edith's outfit. She has discovered that the flirty editor is married.

Edith and her editor have a frank discussion and she has found out he has married, although his wife is in a mental institution by the sounds of it.

All these titles under butler and head valet. If you can play cricket you can be what you like

It seems that the flirty editor is a kind of Mr Rochester but his lunatic is in an asylum (his words...not mine) rather than locked in a tower.

Let's get this cricket match started!

Matthew at the crease doing well

Mr Bates reveals that he said "her ladyship's soap" to Miss O'Brien. Her sins from 1914 have come back to haunt her.
