The Our Girl Addicts Thread 77 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 five, episode eight.

Yes was a tad longer but so many little dramas had to be straightened and certainly the ladt visit from Gt Willis is something to celebrate.see you all next week.

Hiya - it’s the anniversary to the day of Elvis’s death, though I think the date was 30th or 31st.
Anyhow, getting ready for parade.

RIP Elvis...one of Hoddesdon's finest!! 😪

Oh not going to think of Elvis being dead. Anything after the end of series 2 is all a bad dream. You could even say a nightmare. Just didn't happen in my world. See you at 9.

I have never felt any fictional character's death like I did with Elvis.

Pressed play

Pressing play.

Watch out here comes the telegram man.

What news will the telegram man bring this time?

Wedding plans afoot

Mary decides for Carson where the reception will be. How generous, the servant's hall!

Hmmmm......a lady in charge....oooh....errr!

The Pigs!!!

Lord G made it sound rather patronising about letting Carson use the servants' hall for the wedding reception!

What a chauvinist Mr Finch must be - imagine dealing with a woman as the land agent!

Not those bl**dy pigs again!

Well said Mrs H .. don't be a seevant on your wedding day

Mrs Hughes is less than impressed with the idea of the servants' hall for the reception!

I must admit, how hospitals were run and funded before the NHS is all a bit of a blur to me.

Edith is obviously being the annoying and interfering owner of a magazine.

Thomas tries to press Carson into making a decision about his future. I think Carson likes to keep him hanging on.

Oh Edith having trouble from the editor. Another man who thinks women should be seen and not heard

Is this the time to say it should be "Down" to London if you live in Yorkshire!

I know Rhu, I've often wondered why it's always "up" to London and not dependent on geography.

Oh dear, Edith does not like the idea of Marigold going with Mary to the Drews' farm.

Nice of Mary to notice that Anna is not quite herself.
