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.

I was getting ready for parade, but the the cat started being demanding, the iPad suddenly went black / blank, mumsnet keeps crashing on the mobile - it is quite an old model - so I am balancing my laptop in mid-air on one hand while typing with the other which, for a touch-typist is very difficult.
Bear with me, please.

Sorry to hear of your issues, although I do feel there is cartoon in that description!

Haha. Downton is opening to the public. Lord G is not in favour of this, even though it's to raise money for the hospital.

Open day at Downton Abbey, it seems.

eejittwo · 03/12/2025 21:01

Lord G is back home, and holding court in bed.

Ilovelblue · 03/12/2025 21:02

It seems Carson isn't in favour either. He suspects the fee paying people are going to swipe the valuables!

Interesting discussion about Pride and Prejudice.

Rhubarb01 · 03/12/2025 21:04

How detached from reality they are, talking of ordinary houses and imagining there's nothing much to see.

Magi84 · 03/12/2025 21:04

Mary snippy as ever with Edith

Yes, I always thought it a bit of a strange habit to allow random people to look around private houses. It did seem a bit cheeky, so no wonder Elizabeth was mortified to be found there, especially after turning Darcy down.

Naughty Carson no alcohol for the patient

Rhubarb01 · 03/12/2025 21:06

Sometimes, Daisy really annoys me.

Ilovelblue · 03/12/2025 21:06

Post operation recovery and red wine don't necessarily go together surely? Shame on you Carson!

Yes, she can be quite uppity and possibly jealous of Mr Mason's (possible) interest in Mrs Patmore.
