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

We are introduced to Abu though I can't remember his proper English name. He looks so dodgy.

Moving to the next episode with the theme music. I quite liked this, but they kept changing it so much.

I feel it ought to be Kevin.

More snogging in five minutes in this than we saw in five episodes of series one.

Ilovelblue · 04/03/2026 21:10

Georgie has no qualms about waking her parents up, that's for sure!

Always a bit an edge to the sister's comments.

Apparently MK was dead embarrassed watching this bit with her dad in the room, when the production team showed the finished article.

Yes, I never hear this song on the radio without thinking of this.

Rhubarb01 · 04/03/2026 21:12

Very elegant dress.

That's me too! It makes me smile every time.

I think I liled this wedding dress best of the later choices

Rhubarb01 · 04/03/2026 21:13

Ah, looks so nice.

Magi84 · 04/03/2026 21:13

Oh here comes CJ in his dress uniform

Rhubarb01 · 04/03/2026 21:13

Here comes CJ, leg fully recovered and looking so smart.

Ilovelblue · 04/03/2026 21:13

Manchester Town Hall.

I do think the first wedding dress here was much nicer than the second one (which never happened either).

Here comes lovely Nan.

CJ in his ceremonial dress - not bad either!

Grace Lane is looking twitchy as is Nan.
