Should Thomas have gone down those steps by the front door after his interview at that stately home? I thought servants were required to use the back entrance (oo-er missis). I still don`t understand why Thomas thinks he`s going to get sacked from Downton Abbey anyway. The young footman who recently started would be the one to leave first wouldn`t he?

Oh Thomas you so bore me with your nasty behaviour then wallowing in self pity because nobody likes you. Very contrived again yesterday with an obscure "nephew" turning up to dinner who of course becomes enamoured with Miss Frosty Knickers who must be approaching middle age by now. More sillyness with Daisy confronting the lady of the house and the fat policemen seems to be coming in and out of Downton in a revolving door. As Lou says, the nip up and down to London the whole time like its just the next town.

Even more farcical Mary and Anna went in the middle of the night when trains are even slower …..and they are not modern high speed trains but steam trains probably stopping at every junction to London . Ridiculous ! AND they were back the next day .

Agreed Lou. And both Anna and Lady Mary looked like they had been to a mid 1920s version of a spa. Both looked fresh and relaxed, and not a sign of fatigue from travelling on a smokey and slow steam train for the best part of 24 hours.

Oh dear Mrs Patmore is going to have to work on that tomato soup receipe as we had His Lordship spewing it all over the table and the guests yesterday. When they warned of "shocking scenes" I thought we were going to see Thomas rogering the young footman instead of teaching him to read - oh bless. I think Stevie Wonder can see that he fancies Daisy and will probably marry her and break Thomas's heart and go and work on the farm, where I wouldnt be surprised if Mrs Patmore got together with the father in law for a happy ending. Apart from that it trundled on as usual with Mary and another chinless wonder - love the way she said she was still young, she must be late thirties by now which would not be considered young at that time. Edith still pops down to London which is now beginning to annoy me for some reason. Bates and Anna were rather pointless.

Didn't Denker try to blackmail Spratt in the last series about his criminal nephew? Same old, same old.

Yes, Edith was catching the 9 o'clock train which would mean she would get into London at about 2 or 3 pm. Certainly not time to do the business she had to do , wrap it up and come home. . It is getting on my nerves too, Bluebell. DIdn't she say she wanted to get back?

Edith still pops down to London which is now beginning to annoy me for some reason. Bates and Anna were rather pointless. Amen to all of the above Bluebell. As soon as I saw Mrs Pattmore sniffing around Daisys Father in Law, I knew she wanted to be the next Mrs Mason. Especially as it looks like Daisy could end up marrying Andy. Although she won`t be best pleased to know that Andy can`t read - especially as she sees herself as a know all with her few months of book learning she`s done. If I had been Mrs Hughes, I`d have chucked her dinner at Carson...the miserable old bugger. If Carson wanted a decent meal every night - he should have married Mrs Pattmore instead - she`d have been more than willing. Although Mrs Pattmore did cook that dinner for them, and he still complained.

LOL moment when dear old Lord Grantham spewed every where, it was like an episode of Casualty.I half expected carpet muncher boiler suit beauty Dixie to pop out of the Ambulance and give the Lord some attention.

Only two more episodes, and the Christmas special left. I must admit I will miss the show, but the storylines are getting a bit predictable now . Another episode where Lady Edith has mentioned Michael - which makes me convinced he will show up soon. Mrs Pattmore has got the hots for Mr Mason for sure. And Daisy is predictably jealous. She didn`t even have a wedding night with William before he died, so she wants everyone else to remain as chaste as her. Poor Thomas weeping at the end of the episode. I couldn`t help but feel a little sorry for him - even though he`s done some terrible things in the past.

Well nothing much happened on Sunday - Mary was off to London AGAIN taking newly pregnant Anna on the long long journey. Daisy had a cobb on because Mrs Patmore and her father in law are becoming friendy after all Mrs P has done for her the petulant little cow. Carson is turning into a pompous old git turning his servant's nose up at smoked salmon if you please because Mrs Carson-Hughes forgot the lemon, Carson was one of my favourites but is turning into a total arse. Unfortunately no sign of the wonderful Spratt. More nonsense with Lady Stiff and the Chinless Wonder Racing Driver and Branson's return has been rather pointless with him seeming to exist to just chase after Lady Mary all the time like an overfed puppy dog. The best part was the house being opened to the public. Lord G of course has made a full recovery after the claret spewing incident last week. As for Thomas and his pathetic blubbing - cast your mind back to previous series and remember how vile he was with his constant plotting. I have little interest in whispering Baxter and just wish she would marry lonely old Molsey. I wonder if we will see the General Strike of 1926.

Can't stand Daisy. Such a petulant little cow who kicks off without thinking and seems to begrudge Mrs Patmore and her father-in-law a bit happiness.
Why hasn't Mrs Hughes screamed at Carson yet "WELL WHY DIDN'T YOU BLOODY MARRY MRS PATMORE THEN?" How is that woman keeping her temper, he'd have had the poker treatment off me by now.
And I have a hunch that Thomas is going to come to a sticky but brave end, probably sacrificing himself saving one of the kids that they keep on ramming down our throats that he's 'excellent' with. Then they'll all feel guilty even though he was an utter turd a lot of the time, even dropping the ex-maid in it just a couple of short weeks ago!

What a twist that would be. I agree with you Lotty about Mrs Hughes. She`s kept her temper so far, which is commendable. But if I was her, I`d tell Carson to make his own dinner from now on. Or just feed him salads so he`d lose some weight. Surely Carson would have known before they got married that Mrs Hughes wasn`t much of a cook. He was probably more interested in his own carnal lusts to think about after the honeymoon. And once he got what he wanted, he expected his dinner on the table too.

A pretty good episode yesterday with Violet playing a blinder challenging the user daughter in law to be of Lord Merton. She certainly had her number. Maggie Smith makes the programme as far as I am concerned. Happy that Mosley passed his exam to become a teacher and laughed at Carson’s attempts to be a cook which must have been pretty hard in those days without the kitchen accessories and buy ins of today. Am bored with Lady Mary Stiff Knickers and her latest racing driver beau and really don’t care whether they get wed or not but I think we can take it as a given that they will make it up next week and in fact go down the aisle (yawn) l. I think it was pretty obvious that the best friend was going to get killed or horribly burned. Can’t understand why they are trying to turn Thomas into such a mawkish wet character when he has been vile for years – as ye sow as ye shall reap. Who was the man making notes outside Mrs Patmore’s rather lovely honeysuckle covered cottage? A tax inspector perhaps.

Is Thomas going to commit suicide or at least attempt it?
