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.

How are you at making coffee. Honestly Carson you need a boot up the ...

Yep, one heaped spoon of Nescafe and a hot kettle, no problem Mr Carson.

Talking of people annoying us, Carson is infuriating. It does make me wonder that as housekeeper, Carson is picking holes in Mrs Hughes' skills in their own home.

Carson's problem is that he has no normal standards to compare anything with. He just expects everything like Downton Abbey because he's been living there for donkeys years.

Well said Edith. For once a snippy answer for Mary

Carson is cruising for a bruising!

It looks as if the headmaster might be about to offer Mr Molesley a job of some description.

Violet has got a "God Complex" Grin

Rhubarb01 · 03/12/2025 21:20

Mrs Patmore's ears are wigging!

I think that Mrs P has just got the wrong idea ...

Anna's pregnancy is progressing well.

Mary tries to get some information out of Anna about Marigold.

Mary is fishing for information

Rhubarb01 · 03/12/2025 21:24

A sign of the times - a table of singletons can't help thinking of Bridget Jones - sad that they are war widows.

Ilovelblue · 03/12/2025 21:25

I want to throttle Carson!

For what Carson is about to receive.

Magi84 · 03/12/2025 21:25

Carson stop for heavens sake

eejittwo · 03/12/2025 21:26

Did he not eat the smoked salmon, because there ws no lemon or horseradish.

Rhubarb01 · 03/12/2025 21:27

Poor Evelyn Napier - used and abandoned again.

Rhubarb01 · 03/12/2025 21:28

Mary and Henry snog at last.
