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.

Gosh how confusing all the Miss Grantham and Miss Crawley.

Ilovelblue · 14/05/2025 20:43

Mr Molesley looks bewildered by all this talk at the kitchen dining table.

Blimey, bagpipes to announce dinner.

Ilovelblue · 14/05/2025 20:44

Goodness me, that's not the usual start to dinner, even at Downton. Nobody looks very impressed!

Oh great dinner is being piped in

Ilovelblue · 14/05/2025 20:44

Lady Rose is so enthusiastic!

Rose's mum and dad are a bit short with each other. Mother seems to enjoy putting down every comment.

Magi84 · 14/05/2025 20:45

Oh I am already looking forward to the Ghillies' ball

Rhubarb01 · 14/05/2025 20:46

Isabel is so liberal in her views and suggesting Tom should hang out with the servants.

Ilovelblue · 14/05/2025 20:46

Isobel and Tom have a heart to heart. She seems to approve of his transition from chauffeur to land agent and whatever went in between.

I assume dinner is not piped in every day, even if the pipes are the alarm clock.

Magi84 · 14/05/2025 20:47

Isabel really takes an opportunity to have a ho about Vioket's snobbish ways

Rhubarb01 · 14/05/2025 20:48

Blimey, there he goes again. How annoying.

Magi84 · 14/05/2025 20:49

His Lordship not keen on the piper as an alarm clock

Rhubarb01 · 14/05/2025 20:49

Shrimpy is going overseas.

Ilovelblue · 14/05/2025 20:50

Didn't Queen Elizabeth have a piper piping every morning? What was good enough for her must have been suitable for Shrimpy and Lady Shrimpy.

The queen mother mother certainly did. Her own personal.piper I think

Rhubarb01 · 14/05/2025 20:52

Mary is always so disparaging about Edith's friends.

eejittwo · 14/05/2025 20:52

I have had a piper as an alarm clock, but then, I quite like the pipes.
And that’s a rather bossy gamekeeper.

Rhubarb01 · 14/05/2025 20:52

Tom encounters the cheeky maid in the pub. She is a bit of a schemer.

Ilovelblue · 14/05/2025 20:53

Gosh, the maid is quite the brazen hussy. She certainly has an agenda!

OP posts:
Rhubarb01 · 14/05/2025 20:54

Jimmy's not going somewhere with Thomas alone again.

Magi84 · 14/05/2025 20:54

Oh this Edna person has her sights fully on Tom. Schemer indeed

eejittwo · 14/05/2025 20:55

Streaming is being difficult tonight

Rhubarb01 · 14/05/2025 20:55

Here's Edith's Mr Rochester.
