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 could never understand why Molly took umbrage with Smurf's flowers. What a waste.

Molly decides to go to Newport. Then theyvrealise no one else is quite on the same wavelength.

Rhubarb01 · 11/02/2026 21:31

Sorry, AWOL for a bit, but now back. More GB disappointment...anyway, back to Molly's exciting visit to Newport.

Ilovelblue · 11/02/2026 21:31

Molly is right, Newport is "a bit of a sh*thole".

I felt that too. Bit off I thought all that waste

Magi84 · 11/02/2026 21:33

These scenes where I felt it was cringy and although shewas thinking of CJ she was giving Smurf wrong vibes

Not really a flowers kind of girl.

Meanwhile, Molly realises that CJ is a cut above a lot of peoples she's mixed with before.

Yes absolutely right.

Rhubarb01 · 11/02/2026 21:37

Molly just doesn't put Smurf straight about the land lies. I can see that she doesn't want to upset things, but he's got it all so wrong.

Rhubarb01 · 11/02/2026 21:39

Nice scenes between Molly and Belinda.

Ilovelblue · 11/02/2026 21:39

Molly and Belinda have another heart to heart. Molly does talk some sense. Poor Belinda must be so confused and Dave is a total waste of space.

"Moody food" - that was another expression we'd never heard before.

OP posts:
Rhubarb01 · 11/02/2026 21:41

Did Nan really nick that food?

Magi84 · 11/02/2026 21:42

Now a talk with Dad. Who's holding your hand.

Ilovelblue · 11/02/2026 21:42

The Nespresso scenes in Regent Street.

OP posts:
Rhubarb01 · 11/02/2026 21:42

Molly's a woman on a mission.

Rhubarb01 · 11/02/2026 21:43

The Nespresso shop was a glimpse into the type of world that CJ inhabits when he's not in a FOB in Afghan.

Magi84 · 11/02/2026 21:43

Oh the coffee shop. They must have done a roaring trade with Our Girl fans rushing to go there

Rhubarb01 · 11/02/2026 21:44

Here they are back in Afghan and someone's pleased to her.

Magi84 · 11/02/2026 21:44

Back to the fob. The lads make a fuss of her

Rhubarb01 · 11/02/2026 21:45

CJ not too pleased to hear the gossip.
