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.

Maybe we ought to convince him to write it, Rhu. It's something that was only briefly touched on in the most recent film.

Yes, they could set it more away from Downton and just let the younger ones like Mary and Edith appear for a bit here and there for some continuity. Perhaps, someone would take it on like Netflix as they like to produce their own stuff, who knows...

Have a good week everyone. All back for episode 4 on the 19th.

Magi84 · 12/11/2025 22:04

Yes see you for episode 4 next week

eejittwo · 19/11/2025 20:05

Hi ladies
Back on parade tonight and hoping there are no tech issues.

Oh, dear. Yes. Good it wasn't on the lap top. I have a dog who regularly does unmentionables ...he is getting pretty old, so not sure if it's attention , laziness or senility that is to blame.

When the cats do unmentionables, I KNOW it is sheer badness, or to punish me for some perceived failure of mine as regards staffing standards.

Standing by ready for Episode 4

Magi84 · 19/11/2025 21:00

Pressed play

Magi84 · 19/11/2025 21:00

Oh Tom's back

Rhubarb01 · 19/11/2025 21:01

Evening...pressed play

Rhubarb01 · 19/11/2025 21:01

Tom is back at breakfast with the family.

Ilovelblue · 19/11/2025 21:02

I didn't realise the time. Just pressed start.

Why would Rosamund want to argue about the hospital.

Oh, God's gift to the Police is back....again!!!

Ilovelblue · 19/11/2025 21:03

I do like Tom. He seems to be the voice of reason.

OP posts:
Magi84 · 19/11/2025 21:03

Mary sounding very magnanimous to Tom

eejittwo · 19/11/2025 21:03

Tom appears to have put on weight.

Rhubarb01 · 19/11/2025 21:04

Yes, Mary is kinder and more reasonable to Tom than most other members of the family. Poor Edith always gets her sharp tongue.

Ilovelblue · 19/11/2025 21:05

Mrs Patmore's nose has been put out of joint!

Another lengthy saga from Sgt Willis

Another lengthy saga from Sgt Willis

Yes, they are always dredging up stuff to make another drama and it's a bit annoying. That Policeman spends all his time going back and forth to Downton, not much other sleuthing.

Now, Molesley was that really a saying at that time? Curious...may need to google it.

Magi84 · 19/11/2025 21:07

The hospital problem still to the fore. Lady G bringing reinforcements it seems

eejittwo · 19/11/2025 21:08

Who is the mysterious son / nephew?

eejittwo · 19/11/2025 21:09

Oh, Henry!

Ilovelblue · 19/11/2025 21:10

Thomas is so pompous with his new found temporary elevated status in the house.
