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 five, episode eight.

Series 5 - episode 8 continues...

Rhubarb01 · 08/10/2025 21:45

Ah, Mrs Patmore is devastated that Daisy wants to leave.

Magi84 · 08/10/2025 21:46

Denker is inebriated

Ilovelblue · 08/10/2025 21:46

Despite all of Mrs Patmore's constant naggings along the line, it seems she's going to miss Daisy.

Looks like Miss Denker has been taking advantage of Andy's good nature and innocence.

Rhubarb01 · 08/10/2025 21:47

Lady Shrimpy really is a vixen.

Magi84 · 08/10/2025 21:48

Oh Thomas leave him alone

Rhubarb01 · 08/10/2025 21:48

Well done Atticus's mum. She really has shown some backbone.

eejittwo · 08/10/2025 21:49

Thomas getting back at Denker will be fun to watch.

Magi84 · 08/10/2025 21:49

Could anyone really be as nasty as this woman. Incredible to try to hurt your own child in that way. Wretched person

She's so unhappy she can't bear someone else being happy, even Rose. Reminds me of what Mary said to Edith way back.

Ilovelblue · 08/10/2025 21:52

What a strange way to start a marriage. Oh look, here's Lord Gillingham!

It would be unfair to dogs to call her a b*tch.

Rhubarb01 · 08/10/2025 21:53

Trust me Tony, you're lucky to escape with your life! Men who sleep with Lady Mary don't have a good track record.

Rhubarb01 · 08/10/2025 21:54

Mary is feeling a bit lost, it seems.

Rhubarb01 · 08/10/2025 21:56

It's a speakeasy!

Ilovelblue · 08/10/2025 21:58

Anna is being arrested? Oh I am so fed up of this storyline.

My thoughts exactly

It is tiresome indeed. Like someone putting Mary in her place, " I don't care if you're the queen of upper Nile." 😂

Rhubarb01 · 08/10/2025 22:00

Sounds like the scouts are playing the last post.

Ilovelblue · 08/10/2025 22:01

Back at Downton, the war memorial is unveiled.

Rhubarb01 · 08/10/2025 22:01

Lord G looks smart in his uniform. Oh, look he has arranged a memorial for Mrs Patmore's nephew. How lovely.

Rhubarb01 · 08/10/2025 22:02

Lord G...the penny drops as he looks at Edith and Marigold.

Magi84 · 08/10/2025 22:03

Oh that is well done Lord G. Makes Mrs P so pleased. Rightly so

Rhubarb01 · 08/10/2025 22:03

Daisy changes her mind. Thanks goodness.
