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.

Gosh, it must be difficult in such a male dominated environment. Makes me think of a few news stories over the last few years about the culture and how it hasn't changed in some places.

Rhubarb01 · 28/01/2026 21:06

How gormless...look at the sun!

Not exactly Club Class on British Airways is it?

Every time something like that crops up on the news it makes you realise things don't always change for the better in such a male dominated environment.

I do think maybe CJ should have been promoted by now?

Magi84 · 28/01/2026 21:08

A good tour indeed

Ilovelblue · 28/01/2026 21:09

As eejit said last week, what a shame Trump doesn't watch this.

CJ is such an arse at the beginning, but perhaps it makes more sense when we learn more about him.

Rhubarb01 · 28/01/2026 21:10

The blonde girl never looks very friendly.

Magi84 · 28/01/2026 21:10

Smurf off on a little strop.idokises the captain

Molly is given no help at all within the section. Surely somebody should have shown her where the women's quarters were. Good old Jackie to the rescue!

True. I don't think she ever appears again, does she?

Yes - felt that there could have been more of the other women around.

Rhubarb01 · 28/01/2026 21:12

Do they really need them as well as all the doctors and nurses? I find that hard to believe.

Rhubarb01 · 28/01/2026 21:12

This is pretty gory stuff, it was definitely gritty.

Magi84 · 28/01/2026 21:13

Molly sees the realities of the injuries and is panicking. Who wouldn't

Ilovelblue · 28/01/2026 21:13

No wonder Molly froze with fear.

OP posts:
Rhubarb01 · 28/01/2026 21:14

The truth about what she has got herself into hits home.

eejittwo · 28/01/2026 21:14

CJ is a bitch at times.

Magi84 · 28/01/2026 21:14

Oh dear incorrect kit socapt smarty talks about stillettos

Rhubarb01 · 28/01/2026 21:15

The fact that Molly isn't part of the original section and joins as an outsider really shows. They are pretty unfriendly to her. It's not really team building. CJ is vile in these bits.

Ilovelblue · 28/01/2026 21:15

eejittwo · 28/01/2026 21:14

Yeah, pretty damn unkind. Is it to make himself look better in front of the lads? As I said, I didn't really like him at first.

OP posts:
Rhubarb01 · 28/01/2026 21:16

Don't worry CJ, you'll be the last person she wants to help when you're injured if you go on like this.

Magi84 · 28/01/2026 21:16

CJ at his worst

Ilovelblue · 28/01/2026 21:17

This was the first I'd ever heard about a FOB. Do you remember all the new terms we learned during this series?
