The Our Girl Addicts Thread 78 Stay focused, we are now watching Downton Abbey

[Ilovelblue]

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.

I'm here too.

Ready

Pressed play...doing the recap!

Pressed play

Blazing sun...Molly is running through the village and she has found her best friend, Bashira.

.... and they're playing something similar to what we called Jacks when I was at school.

I’m here

We called it that too!

Meanwhile, here's Bashira's Dad and here comes CJ sounding deliciously cross!

Proper good English. Oh dad's not best pleased and neither is CJ

Another phrase we liked was "When did Her Majesty die and make you Queen".

We called it Jacks too.

This series had all the best catchphrases.

Oh Smurf is back

Here's Smurf. Wonder how long it took to recover? Must have been quite a long time.

Here comes Smurf back from his stay in hospital.

CJ tells him to pull his socks up and get it right next time.

Nice banter between Molly and CJ.

Oh, dear he's doing the "I'm there for you" speech again.

CJ talks seriously to Smurf about his past behaviour.

CJ announces there'll be a special visitor tomorrow. They're all hoping for Prince Harry. I don't think they'll be so excited when they find out who it is.

Am I the only one who never liked Smurf?

Oh honestly Smurf is a bit of a dipstick all that I am here for you

Molly is quick to try to dissuade Smurf from any idea of getting CJ to like her.

Oh, gosh, I could give Newport a swerve anytime...sorry!

No, I didn't either. I didn't detest him, but I never liked him.

Back at the village, Molly is trying to keep her distance, but it's difficult. Smurf being unpleasant again.
