Our Girl and Captain James Discussion Thread...

[ihearttc]

A new thread for all things Our Girl as we have already filled up another thread discussing everything to do with the show.

His cousin has just posted this on Instagram.. Looking forward to hearing what he says tomorrow !

Evening all. Just checking in having been out most of the night. Missed some great chat and discussions. Bit too tired to comment intelligently, but my obsession doesn't seem to be going away either and I don't want it to. It feels too good!

I'll second the Tumblr thing. It's full of lovely gifs (short moving images) - all the best bits! There is a fabulous one of his mouth face when she leaves after telling him she's winning him over. I could stare at it all day. Also one of him entering the tent when she's drying her hair. The expression on his face is divine. And loads more not that I'd know about that of course ahem These gifs actually make you appreciate their acting even more.

In answer to your earlier question llovelblue I think decompression is imminent but normalisation is some way off. Interesting that a number of us are feeling quite introspective today (myself included). Wonder if Sundays are particularly hard because they were OG day and it marks another week gone since the series finished. Could also be that for some of us Sundays are less busy and we have more time to think.

I would like to try and lighten the mood if I may by sharing another way in which my addled mind channels its obsession with this programme. I noted a number of posts the other day talking about how good a singing voice BA has and whether he may have potential as a pop star. That got me thinking about what his band might be called. ' James and the Under Fives' was was an early attempt but then I started to think about how I could adapt existing band names so now I have 'Sand Patrol' , 'Captain and the Medics' and my personal favourite 'The Dawes'.

Oh dear, think I need a holiday.........hmmm what's Cypres like this time of year?

Sorry have been reading but not commenting. Cherin - yes I do love Venice though haven't been there for too long [ponders name change to IloveCJ...]. Looking forward to celebrating my birthday tomorrow (yes really) by listening to the R1 interview. Any idea when it might be coming within the show or do I just have to bin my birthday lie in and start listening from 6.30am?!

Isn't Newport the Venice of Wales? Pretty sure that Smurfs Auntie Linda has a tattoo of a gondola on her arse-! Would save on the air fare. Happy birthday for tomorrow Ilovevenice.

Cherin Isn't "ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies" episode 2? obsessed geek alert. Just watched it and CJ said that in response to questions about the royal ginge.

ilovevenice meant to be 7:45 for interview on breakfast and then sometime after 3pm on bbc radio manchester

Well that's my day sorted - should just be able to fit it in pre school run! And will get on with booking that ticket to Newport so as to have something to look forward to in these post OG days...

Ooh its not Nick Grimshaw its Scott Mills this morning- he's not too bad

Gonna be after 8am :)

BA is on Radio 1 at 08:10- very glad I have no school run or work today. Scott Mills already mentioned the amount of 'girls' asking then to check if BA is dating. Have we all sent our question in just in case?

Some fab posts on Tumblr

Haven't sent a question:( mind all blank and a flutter cause I'm too exciting about hearing him!

Crap day today have to be out so won't hear it live, boys have another week of school :(.
I will have to listen in iplayer. Suspense is killing me. Don't like the sound of all those girls (sound young) he would be much better with a maturer women ( say Mid 40's)

Thanks for links, will keep me going until later! I can't concentrate, what's going on!

Am recording it on my TiVo box :/ cos I know boys will act up when it's time! Or hubby will be wittering on about crap lol

Making a birthday cake for my colleague's birthday and timed it around the 7.45 interview. 8.10 is soooo inconvenient! This cake had better not burn. Getting all iexcited!

So excited I can't type properly...!

Haven't felt this way since the 80's before I saw Duran Duran! Might gonna need therapy!

Am ridiculously excited!!! This obsession fondness for BA is not going anywhere anytime soon is it?

What did we think? Second series not ruled out. Did we reckon BA sounded a bit nervous? Cake not burned by the way.

He was good!!

And they switched the video on!!

BA looking might fine!

Only thing was that Scott Mills obviously didnt watch it which is a bit poor (presume he filled in for Nick grimshaw at last minute) but said Captain charles!!

Oooh was on train. Can you watch that somehow do you know?

Think BA got more relaxed as he went on. Wish it had been longer. But I am happy with that. Roll on next interview later on
