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, Lord G has guessed and Cora confirms it.

Gosh, that was a long one tonight.

So ... are we agreed on an 8.30 start next week? Are we having popcorn and ice cream? Haha.

Lord G is such an understanding father. Not at all likely for the time, but this is the cosy world of Downton.

So, a busy episode and we are promised a Christmas special next week. See you all at 8.30pm. Have a good week everyone!

eejittwo · 08/10/2025 22:09

yes, see you at 8.30 next week.

Magi84 · 08/10/2025 22:10

Yes Lord G does seem rather easier to deal with than one would expect from his status and indeed the era. Nice and cosy end to another good episode. Next week at 8.30 then.

eejittwo · 15/10/2025 20:14

Just confirming that I remembered it was 8.30 this week. Getting the popcorn ready …

Magi84 · 15/10/2025 20:23

Yes all set for 8.30.

Evening all! I'm here. Meanwhile, yet another Bates in prison!

Magi84 · 15/10/2025 20:32

All packed and ready for their trip. There might be a clash of butlers.

Rhubarb01 · 15/10/2025 20:32

Thomas gets a trip away

Magi84 · 15/10/2025 20:33

Oh Princess Kuragen has been located. Will she clash with Violet do we think

Rhubarb01 · 15/10/2025 20:34

The Princess has been found - "never complain, never explain!" isn't that the late Queen's motto?

Having to watch this on my iPad as Tv playing up, and phone won’t load mumsnet

It was indeed. In fact the motto for most of the current Royals....

Oh oh Lord G is hiding something. Health problem ?

eejittwo · 15/10/2025 20:37

Like Violet’s comment about Denker.

Edith nearly said what she shouldn't...poor Edith.
