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.

Not the best episode, but I suppose it tied up some ends and left openings for new storylines.
BTW - a fortnight tonight, 12th Nov, and 26th Nov and 10th Dec, I’m out earlier in the evening and won’t be home in time for parade.

Rhubarb01 · 29/10/2025 22:02

I'm ok for next week, if that's the general agreement?

Have a good week everyone Smile

We will be getting towards the end of the series I guess at that point. I won't be able to do 10 December either.

Are we starting to think what we are doing after Downton? I have really, really enjoyed these 6 series and the longer Christmas specials.

Yes it has been really enjoyable going back to Downton. Thinking along the lines of another lengthy series I wondered about Last Tango in Halifax. Still on iPlayer I believe.

Whatever you choose is okay by me. I’m enjoying being introduced to series I have never watched before. Even find myself thinking about some of the incidents in Spooks, from time to time. 😁

eejittwo · 05/11/2025 20:57

Which episode are we on? 3 or 4?

Having some weird tech problem, will catch up.

Mrs Hughes is very low key over the forthcoming nuptials. She's not even thinking of a new dress for the occasion.

Rhubarb01 · 05/11/2025 21:03

Oh, dear, Mrs Hughes, isn't enthused...oooh a catalogue.

ITVx has started doing compulsory trailers, so sorry I’m late.

Ilovelblue · 05/11/2025 21:04

Edith is back down to London and staying in her flat.

Cora and Isabel are at loggerheads over the hospital.

Yes, that happened to me as well...annoying!

Rhubarb01 · 05/11/2025 21:05

Poor Edith...practically middle aged at 32?

Ilovelblue · 05/11/2025 21:05

Are we caught up or do you want me to stop?

Several couples perfectly happy, having not spoken for years!

Ilovelblue · 05/11/2025 21:07

Oh yes, Anna is very likely pregnant!

Bless Mary for being so excited about Anna's news and she really is trying to help.

Carson v Mrs Hughes - different views on how to celebrate their wedding.

Carson is not looking very happy!

Cheeky, Isabel "I hope we'll be invited!" now that would be a thread on AIBU Grin
