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.

Oops...awkward and embarrassing.

Oh heavens, Cora isn't aware of the coat for Mrs Hughes' wedding. Good on you Mary for telling her mother not to be so rude!

A sweet apology from Cora.

Cora grovels to Mrs Hughes and gives her the coat.

Hurray! It's the wedding day!

Plenty in the congregation. Can't say the happy couple look really happy!

Oh maybe they look a bit happier now it's all over.

Sorry, the trailers are making us run behind by several minutes now.

I think Carson ought to take his lady wife's arm as they walk down the aisle.

It's not been the best of episodes for the watchalong.

It's such a nice episode though with the wedding that I'm wondering whether we should give it another go next week and Magi can join in?

Happy to try again, if everyone would like that?

Tom and Sibby reappear. Sounds as if he's back from the USA for good. Ah, that's such good news!

Daisy stop gushing, you dimwit!

Look, it's Tom and Sybbie!!

Eejit can't do next week.

Is it worth trying a rerun? We can let Magi know.

Happy if you do a re-ru next week.

What with your adverts and my DVD sticking, it all seemed quite disjointed.

We’ll be ready for episode 4 the week after.

I'll send Magi a message and she can read our thoughts on here too.

Yes, that sounds like a good plan. Hopefully, it will work a bit better. Flipping ITVX - I googled it and it's something that only makes vague sense. You pay for the premium subscription to watch without adverts, but then they have to include trailers instead on some shows - admittedly they aren't as long as the advert breaks - to somehow make up for the lost revenue. I've seen it in some other shows I've watched but never on Downton before this week.

ITVx premium is needed to watch certain shows AT ALL. The trailers were a first in Downton for me too.

Evening all, back for another, hopefully uninterrupted attempt using Netflix. Fingers crossed...

Yes ready to start episode 3

Pressing play...now!
