Yay mr bates!

oh Lordy I forgot to watch it too many things on at the same time

 

*rushes off to watch it on the itv player*

Is it really necessary for SEVEN yes SEVEN adverts to be shown before each part?

I thought last nights episode was a little lack lustre ....although there were the threads of several interesting developing story lines ....not least what has happened to the guy who went to become a German citizen .....and of course Maggie Smith was as brilliant as always  

I agree, Baz.    i think she's going to find herself pregnant and him missing...

 

I'm worried for Mr Bates....

Maggie aSmith pregnant 

 

I think Mr Bates will be OK - hopefully he'll give that horrible Dennis Watts a good going over and have the foreesight to stop before actually killing him.

I hope he's smart enough to set up a sting- get him to admit it in front of an inspector and get him banged up, then done over by the inmates

   She's a right go-er that Dowager Countess....  I've always had my suspicions about her and Mr Mosley.

PMSL

Mr molesley and the countess!

Can anyone tell me why there is such animosity between Carson and Mr Mosely ..........I didn't fully watch in the very early days.

 

Thank you

I can't remember Soozy ....except I think Mr Moseley got a bit above himself at one point .  

Just watched Sunday's episode ..... Mary has more suitors than you can shake a stick at Wonder who she will end up with . Glad there was no abortion ....but looks as though there will be trouble at mill now Mr Bates has worked out who attacked Anna  

Cant believe the last episode of the series is on Sunday 
Will Mr Bates feed the valet,to the pigs ? 

Is it Skylark ? There are so many loose ends !  

Yes it is, and yes there are 

 

They can't possibly tie them all up in one episode!  I guess they will save some of them for an Xmas special l

Mary does have a lot of admirers doesn'r she? Can't think why ....she's rather frosty and miserable.

 

I thinknI'm on my own here though in saying I'd like to see Tom and Mary together. Also Daisy and Alfred.

 

 

I hope there is a Christmas special, dont know...maybe someone can say..

I'm fairly sure there is. Can't remember where I heard it but someone on telly was talking about it.

There definitely is a Christmas special, they had the girl that plays the other kitchen maid (not Daisy) on Lorraine this morning, and they said it was a def.

I hope they do.  Then again, I hope they don't tie it all up neatly purely because it's the Christmas Special; last year's was a big disappointment because they tried to fit so much in to it.

 

They're obviously promoting Mary and that Charles chappie - the hate/hate antagonism is predictably going to have a big swing shift.  And what about poor Edith!  What's happening there with wosshisname on the missing, and her with a mini wosshisname cooking in the oven..?!

 

Bates cannot possibly be let near Dirty Den jnr - it'd be the rope if he did.

I think that Thomas, despite his shenanigans, is going to (maybe inadvertently) play a part in meting out justice where that's concerned.

 

And, Edna Braithwaite (the one who had designs on Tom Branson) has got to reappear at some point, if only to cause more upset.  And talking of upset, Baxter (Lady Cora's maid), must be about to jump the shark one way or another too..?  She can't be under Thomas's thumb for ever, can she?

 

There's just far too much to deal with in one last episode!

Exactly Cosmo But re Dirty Den Jr. I did wonder if he would get caught trying the same thing with one of the other servants and get his comeuppance that way ...before Bates gets his hands on him ! 

Bates has sussed him, hasn't he?  That doesn't bode well at all!

Yes, I'm hoping someone else gets to Dirty Den jnr first - Mrs Hughes has got his card marked, maybe she'll set the dogs onto him... so to speak.

I like her, she's no one's fool.

Cosi got it sorted then....

I like her too ...

Oh.  And what about Tom and his resurrected political leanings....not to mention the girl who saved him a chair

I'm a bit of a Dowager Duchess on the quiet, Skylark   ; can't be doing with the shenanigans in my own family, let alone on the telly!

She's his new love interest, for sure 

Yep  

I was just agreeing with you, saves me typing all that lot . Yes i know what you mean  

She has become my favourite character I think. Love her.

This weeks final episode is longer more time to tie up some loose ends.
Don't forget Rose's storyline too- oo-er

I hope Thomas comes to avenge Anna too

Well? What did you fellow Downtoners make of that?

 

 

Oooooh Mr Bates!

^ I enjoyed it, but was a teeny bit dissapointed to be honest.
Edith's storyline is a bit slow for my liking, some news of her blokey would have been good, or a rollicking off lady Grantham... I think christmas will be the time for that.

If mr bates was in York, and mr green died in London on the same day, surely he can't have arranged that..?
Either way, I'm glad he's dead! I'd have liked to have seen some action where that was concerned though.
Anyone else wonder if it was Anna? Wasn't she in London that day?
I could be entirely wrong though

LOVING Tom's storyline, I'd really like to see him have a little romance.

daisy/Alfred storyline was too dull for me, I'm glad she found the strength to let him go but that entire storyline was pointless to me! She could have had a much better season that that

Loving Mary too, I'm glad she's not having a fling with any of her suitors

I agree with that summary Sweet But I bet we will find that Bates was in London , not York ....or maybe he * arranged* things .......

I blooming well hope he wasn't seen, doesn't get caught or goes back to prison!!!!!!!!

Another thing-
That storyline with Rose had great potential but fell flat at the conclusion, I was almost bored by it! I was excited for some dramatic scenes for her

Yes, me too Sweet ! i wanted him to suddenly appear at the fete .....

That would have been good!
