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.

I visited a couple of the "Cottages" in Newport many years ago on a trip to the East Coast. Very impressive especially the Vanderbilt one - very ostentatious.

Ooh, the letter is missing. Now, who could have taken it?

Daisy is absolutely useless at spotting when any man is interested in her.

Robert is going to intervene tto save the honour of the Prince of Wales.

Yep, Bates is your man, he has been in the clink.

Are you awake ilove?

Classic line from Mrs Patmore.

Bates's time in prison taught him some specialist skills!

Bates is the forger!!!

oh heck, the Brown Shirts have got Michael!

Surely, Mr Bates has been to London with his lordship in the years since the war?

This letter business is rather far fetched.

Safely crowned and married to a foreign princess 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yes, get Charles Blake he's always up for a lark.

Hmmm....you wish!

Is Lord Aysgarth hoping to charm Cora's mum into marriage. Good grief look at that picnic in a public park.

Is Lord Aysgarth's daughter also after a rich man?

You tell them, Mrs Patmore. Moaning about their sleeping arrangement!

Mary is in a quandary about the rail ticket.

Mary is fishing for information about what Mr Bates may have done in London in the past.

"Mary's men". :)

"Mary's Men" yep, she is so greedy she has two on the hook.

Violet’s in her element - Isabel and the American dragon to butch about.

Has Violet totally forgotten that Robert was obliged to marry an American in order to secure the financial future of Downton.

Meanwhile, Thomas is being a nasty snitch!

Thomas grassing up Tom.

As expected, Thomas spilled the beans about Tom and Miss Bunting to Lord G.
