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.

She seems to be another rude person!

Thomas is plotting

Oh, look the staff are having a dinner party.

Good for you Mrs Patmore! It was time somebody tried to drag Carson into the 20th century.

All very democratic. Carson sitting at table with Daisy

Gosh, how embarrassing all round at dinner.

Well done Thomas!!

Not used to seeing Edith with her hair down! Lord G comes clean with Edith about Marigold.

Lord G and Edith have a heart to heart over Marigold.

Lord G talking to Edith and being very understanding. Mary still in the dark

I think it would take a lot for Edith to confide in Mary who never misses an opportunity to be snide.

The butler wants a sample of Thomas' handwriting. Not sure what Thomas did but apparently the two sets of writing don't match. Thomas is off the hook!

Perhaps he got Miss Baxter to write it?

Isabel doesn't want to cause a family rift by marrying Lord M, but she'd like to.

Poor Lord M now has to sort out his obnoxious sons

It’s difficult posting and watching on the same device.

After a failed attempt at the chicken broth with Mrs Patmore and Daisy as teachers, Miss Denker is taking a bowl of Daisy's broth back to Violet's kitchen. Well done Daisy for the suggestion.

I really feel the problem the police have with the Bates must end soon or it really will become almost laughable

Oh dear, Mrs Hughes hasn't got any money, but she has got a disabled sister who needs support.

Oh Mrs Hughes, such a sad story.

I sort of managed it once, by doing a split screen arrangement on my laptop but it was awkward. I watch on my phone and type on my laptop...so I don't have to change my glasses between reading and distance 😊

Mary meets Henry Talbot and she's being a bi spiky with him. She has history with awkward conversations on shoots.

Edith meets Bertie Pelham...hmm...lots of interesting meetings.

I think Mary can be spiky in general!

The charming Larry Grey sends another rude letter to Isabel.
