We are about to watch the final episode in the final series of Downton. Our little gang has previoulsy watched all the series of Our Girl, Soldier Soldier, The Musketeers and Spooks. We dipped a toe into Hustle then moved onto Downton which has kept us occupied in the comings and goings of the Crawley family.

Smurf does the rubbish eye blinking here 😂

Rhubarb01 · 28/01/2026 21:51

Here comes the MERT.

Rhubarb01 · 28/01/2026 21:51

Oh, dear Molly pretends she can't hear anything. Mind you, that chopper is loud.

Magi84 · 28/01/2026 21:52

CJ going berserk shputing NO WAY

Rhubarb01 · 28/01/2026 21:52

Here's the triumphant winch music...think Elvis and Georgie series 2.

eejittwo · 28/01/2026 21:53

Same music as for Georgie!

Rhubarb01 · 28/01/2026 21:53

Gosh, he's cross but boy is he impressed!

Magi84 · 28/01/2026 21:54

Now he is very impressed.

Ilovelblue · 28/01/2026 21:54

CJ is impressed.

At this point, I couldn't wait for the next episode!!

Of course, Smurf may not be wrong about Bashira. Given what we later find out about her family, as young as she is, she could be feeding info back.

Meanwhile....Smurf is going to come back to her and be there for her.

Magi84 · 28/01/2026 21:55

Smurf really goes overboard with his I'll come back to you. Bit of an idiot

Ilovelblue · 28/01/2026 21:56

Hero worship now from Smurf.

And Molly is insufficiently dismissible.

Rhubarb01 · 28/01/2026 21:56

Legs akimbo!!! He decides to give her a dressing down. She lies and he knows it.

The connection is made and she's proved herself.

Ilovelblue · 28/01/2026 21:57

Quite an arrogant stance CJ has there.

Magi84 · 28/01/2026 21:57

CJ makes a speech and says well done. Getting closer it seems

Ilovelblue · 28/01/2026 21:58

Molly is now accepted as one of the lads.

Dismissive

I enjoyed that. It's been quite a while since I watched that, so it was good to revisit. I remember watching it all over again as soon as it went on iplayer, so it definitely got it's hooks into me and many more of us.

Magi84 · 28/01/2026 22:02

Yes loved seeing that again. So many memories of being completely hooked not having expected to be. Great stuff. Still the best series.

I don't believe I had ever been so invested in a drama series as I have with OG. Most of the time I watch something with my laptop on my knee at the same time and OG is one of the very few programmes which has had me totally hooked.

Same time next week everyone? Looking forward to "Don't go breaking my heart...I couldn't if I tried..."🎵🎵

eejittwo · 28/01/2026 22:36

Since I never saw it when it was first broadcast, my heart belongs to Elvis …

Whenever I hear that song, it always makes me think of CJ and Molly. It's the same with the one at the beginning of OG2 (whose name I have totally forgotten) which was going to be Elvis' and Georgie's wedding song. They both make me smile a little.
