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.

Surprised her father would risk damaging her looks, when she is about to be married.

A bit of intel from Bashira

Nice, nice paddling pool moment!!!!

Here are the special guests....perhaps not what the lads were expecting.

To be fair, the band is good.

Oh here comes the music men ....Valerie

No Prince Harry, instead we get the Corps of Army Music. Even Major Beck comes out to watch.

Like Molly’s description of Smurf’s casualty status.

I'd forgotten about Rolex Boy.

Molly appreciates the beauty of Afghanistan.

A bit exciting at the moments.

Casualties among the insurgents. Molly has to spring into action.

"Are you alright, mate?" bit of an understatement.

One of the insurgents is still alive and Molly is required to give him medical attention. That must be a hard thing to do when you know he was prepared to kill you and your colleagues.

Praise from CJ.

"Above and beyond" was yet another of our go-to phrases during this series!

Smurf realises that Molly is becoming a bit of a favourite with CJ

Mentioned in despatches. Plaudits for Molly

Smurf is remarkably obtuse.

Molly volunteered by virtue of being the only applicant who meets the criteria.

Ahhh...starlight above the shitter!

Deep and meaningful chat. Somehow Smurf never quite pulls it off

Sweet moment, lovely bit of chat with CJ.

"Dawsey"

This is a really heartwarming conversation between CJ and Molly.

It was round this sort of time that I started to warm towards CJ more.

Oh what's this, CJ goes into her tent to wake her up.

Plans to extract Bashira.
