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.

For my sins I watch Classic Doctors which went back to the beginning of the BBC series. I think we're up to about 2007/2008 currently. The actor who plays Georgie's mother (Angela Lonsdale) has a big part in it just now and is even more infuriating than when she is in OG.

Really? How can that even be possible? And, no, I don’t think I’ll watch it to find out.😁

It's possible because she's in it nearly every single episode at the moment!

She was Curly's girlfriend in Corrie back in the day too. I think she was a police officer in that.

Indeed she was. I don't remember her being so annoying then - or maybe I had more patience in those days.

Hoping that the Wi-Fi will sort itself out in time, but it has been a bit dodgy this evening. If I end up having to watch on my phone, posting comments will be difficult.

Set up and ready to watch the prequel. I loved that as it was the first time I'd ever heard of LP. So handsome!

Know the feeling. Fingers crossed for you and holding my breath for my techie stuff too

On parade - sorry about your wi-fi issues eejit, there's always one of us having trouble it seems!

Pressed play

Watching the prequel.

It's all looking a bit current.

Elvis going to Ukraine...hmmm...definitely current.

He's trying is best cheeky chappie routine and ditches the current girlfriend by text...classy!

Just watched the prequel to test if it was working. He is gorgeous! I only started watching cos I’d liked him in Musketeers.

Only been out with her twice so obviously had been a fast worker

Very current

Indeed, as we discover!!

"Summoned to the Ukraine". Topical at least I guess.

So callous of Elvis to dump his girlfriend by text. Am sure he thought nobody ever refused his advances!

Sizeable Italian community in Hoddesdon...it's true.

Indeed, indeed - and in deed😁

Neat idea with the proposal in a bottle.

Oh the message in a bottle proposal. Soooo romantic!

I like the argument that Rule 1 only applies to squaddies, not SF.

Let me know when you start Ep 1

So arrogant.

Meanwhile, it's Fred Thursday's wife from Endeavour as the poor Mum. I do feel sorry for her.
