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.

Mary is still fishing about Marigold.

Tom is SO good for Mary.

Oh Lord Merton's future daughter in law has put in an appearance. Wonder what she is like?

Daisy, you are getting too big for your boots. SHUT UP!

Good for you, Mrs Patmore. Don't let Daisy dictate.

Daisy is so jealous.

Bertie seems to know all about the public gping round stately homes. Useful

I've stayed at the Brooklands Hotel. Some friends of mine are going to the race track and to the hotel next weekend.

Ooh!

Brooklands Hotel was extremely modern - all chrome and smoke glass from what I remember. Not really my taste to be honest.

Well here comes the crowds. Carson will be in a right tizzy over this I bet

It's raining!

.... and in the midst of the guided tours, Violet has discovered she is now sacked as President!

Edith is struggling

Oh, yet more boring prison stories

Maggie Smith was really wonderful as Violet as this episode alone has shiwn.

Nice conversation between Robert and the little lad.

Indeed she was, brilliant casting.

Mrs P worried about Andy.

Oh no, Carson has gone too far with Thomas. What a difficult situation.

So .... a week off on 10th and back here on 17th?

So one day Tom is creating The Repair Shop and now he's setting up the National Trust. What an entrepreneur he is.

Good at forecasting the future with the aid of Julian Fellowes script

Poor Thomas, he just can't find happiness anywhere. His past is coming back to haunt him.

See you on the 17th for our next Downton fix
