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.

Lord Merton comes a-calling to Isabel, disturbing her soup!

It's always awkward to be caught by visitors when you are eating. I feel for Isabel with her humble soup.

Rhubarb01 · 23/07/2025 20:36

Well, it's quite a posh club. Certainly it's not a 1920's jazz dive.

Heavens above, Rose goes to a fancy night club and her father is with the Prince of Wales (Edward VIII to be).

ooh...the Prince of Wales...David to his friends.

Rhubarb01 · 23/07/2025 20:37

Dear Shrimpy!

Rhubarb01 · 23/07/2025 20:38

Isn't Tom a thoughtful chap. Here's Charles in London again.

Ilovelblue · 23/07/2025 20:39

Thomas is hacked off because Tom (confusing - Branson) is now part of the Downton family and he has to kow-tow to him.

Rhubarb01 · 23/07/2025 20:39

Thomas is moaning and complaining now about Tom. Envy is always bubbling just below the surface.

Rhubarb01 · 23/07/2025 20:40

Cora's mother has showed up for the coming out ball. Here is the useless brother who lost a load of money.

eejittwo · 23/07/2025 20:40

Thomas resents having to call an ex-chauffeur ‘Sir’.

Ilovelblue · 23/07/2025 20:41

No, Daisy, you are a very misery.

OP posts:
Rhubarb01 · 23/07/2025 20:43

Daisy brings the "message" from Thomas. Poor Miss Baxter, he is being a bully about something.

Rhubarb01 · 23/07/2025 20:43

Pigs!!!

Rhubarb01 · 23/07/2025 20:44

Tony and Charles politely squaring off again - Mary's suitors. Go away Tony!

Ilovelblue · 23/07/2025 20:44

Cora told Carson to arrange a day out for the staff as a thank you. Carson's idea of a "fun" day will not go down well I bet. The Science Museum or Crystal Palace. Haha.

OP posts:
Rhubarb01 · 23/07/2025 20:44

Carson is thinking of suitable ideas for a nice treat for the staff...mmmh!

eejittwo · 23/07/2025 20:45

Exactly what was going on between these two boys, and the other young ladies looking on, with faces like fizz.

Rhubarb01 · 23/07/2025 20:46

Here she is again, the cheeky teacher.

Ilovelblue · 23/07/2025 20:46

Here comes the pushy school teacher. I'm not sure her socialist views would sit well with Violet!

OP posts:
Rhubarb01 · 23/07/2025 20:48

Uppity American staff getting ideas again...Carson sets him straight Grin

Ilovelblue · 23/07/2025 20:49

I might be getting confused with all these new names!

Is Mr Samson the one who tricked them at cards?

OP posts:
Rhubarb01 · 23/07/2025 20:49

Rosamund brings the card sharp.

Rhubarb01 · 23/07/2025 20:50

Oh dear, "Mr" Levinson is getting it all wrong.

eejittwo · 23/07/2025 20:50

Oh, dear, is Harold going to fall for the card sharp.
