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 think it was probably once we'd got to the end of the series and then spent so much time analysing it all. Once we were relieved that it ended the way we wanted it to, there were so many interpretations of what had been going on all the way through. I didn't attempt my first one until the end of November and this must have been finished by mid to late October.

Just to follow up on the question about fanfiction, I had a quick look on FF site and the first stories were published on 4th October. I'm not sure when it started on the BBC but I think it's probably about two episodes in?

Thanks for that Rhu. The series would have started with the autumn listings I imagine, September time. There were some amazing stories on there, yours included. I used to read them avidly.

Did I mention I’ll miss tomorrow - I am going OUT! Rubbish, I know, missing a watchalong but it happens.

Hi am ready for tonight but see no eejit. Are we going ahead

Evening, I see we will have one member missing in action tonight! I may be slightly distracted while this episode is on....for a bit....as I'm a bit of an Ice skating fan, but I'm sure it won't last long 😀

I'll follow the majority. To be honest, it isn't the best one out of the series so I don't think she's missing much.

So are we going ahead

.....not sure...shall we go ahead as it's time? pressed play

Pressed play.

I am happy either way but maybe Rhu would like to skip it for Okympics

Good golly Miss Molly...put some effort in!

This episode has a lot of Smurf in it so as I said, I don't think eejit is missing much.

Pressed play

"Put some bloody effort in" and the coco pops - how we loved all of that!

It's OK, I'll watch both at the same time and I probably won't be glued to it, so no problem.

Oh, the coco pops. They have a good connection now.

Looks like Molly has her own Olympics

Yeah, I'd like to see them do the Winter Olympics in Afghan.

Lots of lovely wise cracks and innuendo over the cocopops

This does not sound good for the Afghan soldiers.

Trouble at the mountain CP. That's a bit of a Georgie prhase "Something don't feel right."

They look very dead!

"Dawes" and off she goes up that hill to check out the situation.

Rolex boy is a victim of the attack. Here's Smurf deciding what's happened without the info again.
