[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.

So..... the pushy Miss Bunting has wangled a viewing of the Downton interior. Tom looks very ill at ease about it all.

Tom is taking the teacher on a tour of the house. She is a persistent madam.

Thomas sees Tom and the teacher. He's going to store that up and tell tales somewhere along the line.

Oh dear, spotted by Thomas.

Thomas is being imperious and disapproving and Tom is embarrassed.

Rose mentions a letter...what is so special about it?

Is that the creepy Samson.

Oh dear, the sneaky card sharp is having a rummage in the handbags.

Tom is apologising....DON'T DO IT EVER!!

Tom is starting to dig a hole for himself because he's embarrassed about being seen with the pushy teacher and Thomas is being so rude. Is that what we would call passive aggressive these days?

Definitely and Tom should put him in his place.

Isabel is going to go to the ball with her Prince Charming?

Edith is starting to have doubts about having her baby adopted.

Rosins is quite definite.

Conveniently, it sounds like there is no formal agreement regarding the adoption.

Isabel is so funny and they make such a funny couple.

Sounding like a trumpeter on the peak of the moral high ground 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yes, it's a brilliant line but so true.

What has Mrs Hughes found in the pocket of Mr Bates coat?

And off we go to the palace!

I am a great royalist but thank goodness stuff like that has been abandoned in favour of garden aprties instead.

Did they all have to dress up with those train like things?

Look at the poor lowly underlings cheering their betters on the way to the palace.

The American Valet is making so many mistakes. Mr Carson doesn't do man to man chats

The American footman / valet shocking Mr C

Go on Rose, it's your turn to curtsey to the king and queen.

Some super curtsies there!

Mrs Hughes and Mary suspect Mr Bates was involved in the evil valet's demise.
