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.

As Rhu mentions there is the Christmas special for next week. As a matter of fact in Netflix they call it episode 9 of series 4. As I mentioned I can’t do next week but will watch it when I can. Be back on 30th

I will be away for the episode on 6 August. Thought I'd better mention it now whilst I remember!

Ooops I missed that! Thanks for the reminder.

Ladies, do we need to start earlier on Wednesday? I'm guessing the Christmas special will be about 90 mins or thereabouts?

Hi - what decision did we reach about start time tonight?
Also, I will miss 13th August.

Sorry, ladies, I’m getting ahead of myself. It’s tomorrow night.

I'll text Rhu to see what she says about tomorrow.

I wonder if it's worth having a little break if you can't do next week or 13th and I can't do 6th?

What does anyone else think?

I’m ok for 30th July, 6th, 20th and 27th August. 13th August is definitely out, for me.

Hiya, I'm OK for all dates, but if you want to take a break until 20th August after tomorrow's final episode and start the new series then, that's fine with me.

Ok to start at 8.30 pm tomorrow if that would be better as it will probably be about 90 mins in total.

8.30 it is.

Evening, getting myself settled in for an extra long episode tonight.

I hope I can stay awake throughout a longer episode!

We'll give you a nudge if you go quiet ilove

Even the cat has decided to join in. He's not normally a fan.

Pressing play...now

Pressed play.

And me.

Mrs Hughes and Daisy are going to London.

oooh...it's eight months later and Lady Edith looks tired!

Yes, dear, dear Matthew we miss him too...fed up with boring Tony.

Daisy is so negative. You think she'd look forward to being in London but peeling potatoes is peeling potatoes wherever you are!

So now we know Edith had a little girl.

Yep, moaning minnie!

I love the colour of Rose's dress.

Violet is trying to be kind and understanding, but Edith has formed a bond with her little girl and she is finding it hard.

So it's 1923.

Nothing changes Mary. She's always digging at Edith.
