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.

The look on Carson's face when he hears Mrs Hughes has differing views on the wedding reception than he has.

Cora speaks up for Mrs Hughes. I'm glad she is seeing it from her point of view.

At last Mrs H gets to say what she really wants ..a bit of a hooley

Typical Mary seeing it from only smart people's viewpoint "Does anyone have a sit down wedding breakfast anymore?"

Said this last week, but Isabel shouldn't be inviting herself.

Thank goodness Cora tells Mary she is bullyiing

Sounds good to me!!

Miss Denker is about to tell tales.

What's that expression about catching a Spratt! Setting a mackerel to catch a Spratt.

Denker at it again. Fortunately Violet is good at putting her back in her box

Makes me laugh that "Denker" is German for thinker as the cogs are always turning and not in a good way.

Oh, sometimes Carson is a bit oily where Mary is concerned.

Thomas off to an intrrview

Thomas goes for his interview. Big house, but it looks a bit empty.

Edith runs into Bertie again.

Oh Bertie back on the scene

Edith almost forgets again about Marigold. We haven't forgotten about Edith's magazine, we never can.

Thomas goes for his interview. Maybe this will not end well.

Oh look who pops up in front of Edith - Bertie Pelham.

My wifi is playing up a bit, sorry if I'm slow.

Oh gosh looks like the prospects for Thomas ain't too good. Poor old guy in a practically empty housr

Sad story, to hear that the gentleman's sons were killed in the war. No one to pass the house to, and it's all in such a state of disorder.

I don't think this job is for Thomas.

Well, it wouldn't be Wednesday without some techy problems

Who are the Fife princesses...I feel a google coming on.

Yes, we do seem to have our fair share.
