The Our Girl Addicts Thread 76 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 four, episode eight.

And here comes Alfred for that difficult conversation with Ivy.

Mr Mason offers some very sensible advice.

Nice words, Violet....hmmm....not terribly uplifting.

Oh Green is dead. Gillingham says it is odd.

Tony is back gain...good grief....Valet/Green is dead. Not sorry, but the music suggests we should be very curious about the accident.

Anna wonders whether Bates had a hand in it.

Mary seeks advice from Charles Blake

Yep, he fell under a bus. What are the chances? Where was Mr Bates yesterday? Oh dear, so many unanswered questions.

Here's Charles Blake again - turns up like a bad penny. Mary is troubled it seems about Tony's news.

Molesley tries his hand at the strong man test and he wins.

Lord Gilingham arrives to say the valet is dead, supposedly slipped in the road. And Mr Bates said he was going to York. Could he have had anything to do with it? Mr Blake turns up as well. Is he treating Downton like a b&b?

Thomas back aggravating Miss Baxter and here is Moleskey to the rescue

Do we think Miss Baxter paid the strong man operator to let Molelsely win?

Thomas is also back and wanting to know any goings-on in his absence.

Daisy came to say goodbye to Alfred.

Alfred is trying to make up things with Daisy. Too little too late?

Mrs P very proud of Daisy

Alfred and Daisy patch up their differences. She needs to lose that stupid hat.

Mary and all these suitors. Now Charles is going to put up a fight

Mrs Patmore praises Daisy. She has certaing grown up a bit.

Oh dear Charles Blake declares his interest in Lady Mary. They are all at her feet, it seems.

Anna quizzing Bates

The bazaar is a triumph

This is a longer episode, it seems. Anna questions what Mr Bates was doing in York. She is afraid of what he might have done.

Well done Cora. Mary's suitors leave together. That was the end of the regular series, just the Christmas special for series 4 remaining.

Well that was a other very full episode. Anna and Bates will hopefully soon get in an even keel.

Charles Blake joins the list of suitors for Mary. A fitting end to the series.

Can you believe we start a new series next week! I hope eejit is back to join us.

I amafraid I can't do next week but will of course watch the episode at so e time before the 30th when I will be back with you for the start of series 5. We are whizzing through this
