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.

This is sounding a bit awkward, given the Marigold situation.

Rhubarb01 · 21/01/2026 21:06

Look who's here, the bitchy daughter-in-law.

Ilovelblue · 21/01/2026 21:07

I really like Tom. He's quite transformed from his early days.

Up at Brancaster, Bertie's mother has unwittingly put a shadow over the wedding and their life thereafter.

That daughter in law is a DRAGON.

Well, the vile son deserves her 😁

Ilovelblue · 21/01/2026 21:08

I think I got it wrong about the engagement of Lord Merton's son being broken off. Sorry.

That woman is an evil and scheming b*tch.

I am very suspicious of Lord M's daughter in law.

Ilovelblue · 21/01/2026 21:10

Edith tells Lord G she still isn't sure she's doing the right thing.

Lots of good advice for Thomas. He needs to turn over a new leaf.

Rhubarb01 · 21/01/2026 21:10

Sweet with the kids.

Magi84 · 21/01/2026 21:11

Edith being very brave talking to Bertie's mum.

Ilovelblue · 21/01/2026 21:12

Thomas says farewell. Even the little ones come to say goodbye.

Rhubarb01 · 21/01/2026 21:12

Edith is going to get it off her chest and see what Mrs Bertie has to say.

Rhubarb01 · 21/01/2026 21:13

A bit of a grouchy employer for Thomas it seems and not much to do after his time at Downton.

Meanwhile....PIGS!!! yet again down at t'farm. Andy is giving Daisy the cold shoulder, and she deserves it.

Ilovelblue · 21/01/2026 21:14

Not so sure about Thomas' new employer. Will he stick at this job do you think?

Yes, Daisy really does deserve that. She's not been very nice to Andy so far.

The light dawns for Daisy.

Meanwhile, back at the castle, Bertie's Mum talks to Bertie.

Magi84 · 21/01/2026 21:15

Oh I hate that phrase "damaged goods"

Rhubarb01 · 21/01/2026 21:16

Mrs Pelham thinks Edith is wrong for Bertie, but he's not having it. Good on you, for not being dissuaded.

eejittwo · 21/01/2026 21:17

Denker being a bitch again.

Rhubarb01 · 21/01/2026 21:17

Ah, little George does look like mini Matthew there on Henry's shoulders.

Rhubarb01 · 21/01/2026 21:18

Denker's Salome and Spratt's Herod...what an image!

Rhubarb01 · 21/01/2026 21:19

Oh, shut up Carson. This is not Molesley's fault.

Ilovelblue · 21/01/2026 21:20

Carson is being so ridiculously pig headed!

What a sad picture of faded grandeur. Thomas will be so bored.
