Our Girl

[R4roger]

Anyone watching this drivel?
although slightly enjoyed the family dynamics going on last night, unfortunately DD's favourite programme and in fact Guardian seems to recommend it

Agree with being 'touched' by something, it's good to be stirred up every once in a while!

I've actually been watching the pilot episode damn you DH coming home and still really enjoying the insight! I know its not real and accurate but I like the thought in basic training that they might go to war graves, and reflect a bit on the whole process.

OK please save me from watching the first 3 episodes again. Can you help me answer my aimless daydreaming today..

When do you think Molly and Captain James each realised that their feelings had gone from 'bonus, attractive colleague that I can flirt/let my guard down with' to 'oh crap, I am so hopelessly fucked!'

threadneedle...I think the moment that he realised how much he was actually falling for her was in his tent when he called her Dawesy.

I saw the wink the first time I watched them singing-it actually made my heart melt a little bit. And he has some moves and a not bad singing voice either.

I love the wink!

I think he fell hard at the end of the first ep after the dramatic rescue thing and he said to himself about it being completely awesome. I think she fell as soon as he stepped out and called them all cockwombles. I would.

God yes I would as well...its the look they give each other when they are lining up for the first photo as well.

Can someone please explain Twitter to me? Ive joined up and followed Ben but I can't see much...is there supposed to be something else Im doing?

slightly scared that Im becoming a bit of a stalker

Likewise if someone could explain tumblr (I just don't understand it - god I'm getting old!)

Nope I don't get tumblr either so that makes 2 of us Issy!

Really hope this works...new video I just found!

Im so pleased I found it cause it's got loads from the last episode in it which non of the others have!

Link works perfectly Ihearttc .

I don't understand tumblr either!

After having watched all the episodes out of order in the last couple of days I'm not quite sure when I think they fell for each other. Oh well, I'll have to watch them again...

Thanks to all of you for cheering up my tedious stuck at home feeling ill day. Especially laughing at deleting photos of children and questioning the staff in the Nespresso shop! . You are all amazing.

Phew...I'm a complete technophobe so only worked out how to do links this week!

Hello - I think I need to join the ranks of those who are afflicted with a Captain James obsession! Saw the last episode last weekend and have since gone back through the rest and watched, and watched again. Yes it's a load of tosh but it's enjoyable tosh, and...I can't actually take my eyes off the screen whenever the Captain appears. Where on earth has he been hiding?!

Anyway, in the course of my 'research' (ahem) - have found this in case anyone might be interested! Who's going?

Try again!

Christmas Carol Service for The Sick Children's Trust

iheart - Gorgeous vid. Thanks so much for finding. May just have to put it on repeat!

PassTheSherry -welcome to the Captain James Club! Be warned though, it's a bit like the Hotel California - you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave! . And thanks for that link to the carol service. Oh, wish I lived in London!! There's no way I can go then. :-(

OMG iheart my favourite video so far!!

And Ben Aldridge supporting a concert for sick children perfect father material?? The lines between Capt James and Ben might be blurring

At school collection today, another mum mentioned that teacher had gone "above and beyond". It was like word association, before I knew it I said "Like Molly? Please tell me you've been watching Our Girl". Alas, the answer was no. I have told her she has to watch it so here's hoping!

I know mandy214 mine too.

It's just perfect-she has done a couple of the other ones as well so she clearly is a huge fan and very talented.

Going to war graves is part of basic training for all ranks (my husband went as a cadet and again as DS at RMAS). It's considered important both from the point of learning about particular conflicts/battles/strategy and for remembrance and reflection on sacrifice and the real costs of war.

Trips to battlefields are also common after training when the OC or CO decides it's appropriate for development and reflection.

That's just awful I'm in London the following week!! I might not have been able to contain myself!!

NappyValleyMum I'd come as well but unfortunately live 100 miles away from London. DH works in the city though... Could always make an excuse to pop down to meet him from work the night of the carol concert. Think he might wonder what on earth I'm doing though!

I think my infatuation from CJ is spilling over to Ben as well mainly because he seems so nice. I know that's not a great word but I get the impression that he'd be completely lovely and very genuine...and probably completely shocked to have all these adoring fans.

nappy tickets 'for the family' ? That made me laugh out loud

I'm back. I would love all that first love stuff with dh, but it doesn't work like that. I did make me realise we need a break away together soon. Also made me think about my dreams and how maybe i can achieve them.

Ahhh hes going to be a the carol concert. I think i would wetmyself with excitment.

Do you think he knows? I think his tweet on Sunday night said honoured to have been a part of it, overwhelmed at the response. I bet he didn't think almost a week later we'd still be going strong. I think its a good job I live in Manchester, otherwise I would definitely go. The charity might have an unexpected run on tickets . In reality, I'd only be able to gaze at him from afar to see if he was as lovely in real life as he was in OG. In a braver world, I'd be in the same row of seat in my old TA combats with Ditto written on my forehead .
