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.

Ah, sweet. Lovely words from Bertie.

Hurrah Edith is engaged

A proposal for Edith.

Thank goodness times have changed and it's no longer a problem when there is a child out of wedlock.

I like Cora's response...that is almost poking fun at the storylines 😂

Looks like Isabel has realised that she really does want Dickie after all.

Isabel realises she has feelings for Lord M

I really like Isabel and Violet's friendship.

Reconciliations all round.

Fond farewells to Thomas. Did he turn over a new leaf?

Sorry, I was distracted by following the story.
Thomas says his goodbyes to Lord G.

Yes, Barrow has moved on to his own Detective series on Channel 5.

Well done Mrs P Daisy needs a good shaking

Mrs Patmore tells Daisy the truth about herself.

That’s Daisy text. Well said Mrs P.

Here's Bertie's pad, just a small castle. Of course, they stayed there before.

I can't remember but I thought Thomas did appear in all the Downton films afterwards. Anyone else have an idea?

Yes, he was in all of them.

Oh very grand castle. Bertie's mum seems a bit stuffy

Brancaster is Alnwick Castle I think?

I presume Edith hasn't got married yet?

Oh it's Mrs Pumphrey aka Patricia Hodge.

Carson admits to a vague family illness that has no name. Another convenient ailment that has just cropped up - there's a plot twist coming, mark my words!

Tom and Henry discuss the future. They have something in common as they have both married into the family.

Oh, Bertie's Mum is used to speaking for him, it seems. He opened his mouth and her voice emerged.

Oh ominous comments from Bertie's mum
