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.

Oh damn! I've missed the Bailbrook House bit and the very table I have sat at!

Get out of the way, silly waitress.

CJ is so unlike the Afghan CJ here. OK, boot blooper Grin

Rhubarb01 · 25/02/2026 21:40

His parents must be absolutely loaded...multi milllions for those houses on Royal Crescent.

Sack the Continuity team!

Sweet....cut before there's any action....very tasteful!

Rhubarb01 · 25/02/2026 21:41

Oh, goodness, a slinky red dress...here's Smurf.

Remember the godawful continuity in Kenya.

Magi84 · 25/02/2026 21:42

must have had so much cut from some of those scenes as that was an abrupt end to the bedroom scene. Definitely a sixth episode was needed.

Tasteful but not what we were hoping for!

I remember managing to find that the dress had come from Hobbs. Not that it would have suited me.

Smurf having trouble with his eyesight....funny scene with the glasses.

Love the family laughing.

Ilovelblue · 25/02/2026 21:43

Smurf has some problems with his eyesight. If only we'd known......

Smurf has PTSD. He's going to leave the army. It would be best for him.

Rhubarb01 · 25/02/2026 21:45

Molly takes Smurf to West Ham's old ground.

Magi84 · 25/02/2026 21:45

Nice conversations with Smurf at this point and then awfully sad

eejittwo · 25/02/2026 21:46

Don’t know what’s around the corner- too tight!

Ilovelblue · 25/02/2026 21:46

Smurf will need counselling for his PTSD.

They go to West Ham football ground so Smurf can see where Molly would be applauded as a war hero.

And then.........

Rhubarb01 · 25/02/2026 21:46

At least in these last moments, Smurf was happy, until disaster strikes.

Ilovelblue · 25/02/2026 21:47

Do you remember the two ladies who were on here who went to the West Ham ground?

OP posts:
Rhubarb01 · 25/02/2026 21:47

Desperately sad.

I was thinking of them at that moment. They got onto the edge of the pitch didn't they?

Rhubarb01 · 25/02/2026 21:48

Poor, poor Mrs Smurf. How could you cope with that amount of loss.

Ilovelblue · 25/02/2026 21:49

Yes, I seem to remember they sweet talked the security man into letting them on. It just shows how OG got to us.

Poor Mrs Smurf. How do you come back from losing both sons?

Lovely words from Dylan Thomas and delivered by a very handsome looking CJ.
