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 four, episode eight.

Quite a thought Carson "running" to the PO

Ilovelblue · 30/07/2025 21:35

Spratt and Carson are both snobs. Spratt tries not to serve Dr Clarkson.

Thomas is such a bully where Miss Baxter is concerned. He clearly has something on her.

Poor Miss Baxter just looks so helpless and Thomas is so mean. He has something on Miss Baxter.

Or, these days, not even a trolley. Having to abandon your worldly goods and hike all the way down the train to the buffet, or carry all your worldly goods ...

Rhubarb01 · 30/07/2025 21:39

Look who is here...it's a man eater also known as Lady Anstruther, I believe.

Ilovelblue · 30/07/2025 21:39

Magi84 · 30/07/2025 21:40

Oh crumbs Lady Anstruther has turned up

eejittwo · 30/07/2025 21:41

Is Lady Anstruther the predatory former employer.

Rhubarb01 · 30/07/2025 21:41

Miss Baxter has taken Molesley's advice and is about to tell Cora her story.

Magi84 · 30/07/2025 21:42

Oh good Molesley is trying to help Baxter. Thomas is relentless

Rhubarb01 · 30/07/2025 21:43

Miss Baxter has been in prison That is quite a revelation.

eejittwo · 30/07/2025 21:43

As a young actress, she was taken on for a season at Pitlochry Festival Theatre and scarpered very early on - and then was rather supercilious about the theatre in a newspaper interview.

Rhubarb01 · 30/07/2025 21:43

Mr Bates is fishing for info on the nasty valet...hmmm.
