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.

To be fair all we know about Molly's dads background is that he fitted Sky dishes until he fell off a roof, then got depressed and turned to alcohol. Then the poorly conceived plan to put a nail gun through his hand! They might have had an ok income before all that.

Just had a thought - how gutted would Rachel have been that she wouldn't get to inherit that house?

I can try ihearttc

Will PM you if thats ok icemist?

I can relate to Molly although my background was somewhat different. I feel wistful that I didn't take the bull by the horns and do something... Anything and been brilliant. Of course then I may not have my fab brood.

Also can relate to Belinda, lots of dcs although she has nearly twice as many dcs as me and again I lead a very different life jn some ways. But when Molly spoke about her mum being to knackered to do the washing (in the pilot) it rang a bell with me, worn out mum of many.

Allow me a digression into treacherous territory here (got the feeling plenty of you are much more knowledgeable of literature than me ;-), but...I think the most successful or recognisable love stories, either in books or in movies, are the ones that show "love in the face of differences". Differences being real or perceived doesn't really matter (I mean, Romeo and Juliet were neighbours and same age, after all!). The love story between CJ and Molly is no different. Love strikes and when it does, you are virtually naked in front of someone else. Doesn't really matter how expensive/ragged your clothes usually are, but you're raw and vulnerable and you are essentially a Human begging someone else to love you, as naked as you are.
Most plots of most romantic stories have the same theme, just declined in different ways, to show how essentially we are all the same. Soo, that's only to say that of course we have every reason to be "romantic" because that's not only a natural, but only a fair way to be.

God, I may have messed that up...

Hope this works :)

I watched episodes 3 and 5 earlier. I do think the last ep could have been 2 or 3 eps. Alot happened.

I'd also forgotten how stern cj could be in action then so so gentle.

In the scene where he was shot, he kept saying sorry and look after Smurf. What a man. Swoon.

Yay icemist it definitely works thank you!!

Its definitely not CJ is it lol...he sounds so different.

That made no sense sorry!

I meant the character he is playing is no Captain James...he doesn't even sound like him!

icemist thanks. Although its our BA I wouldn't have looked twice at hom in this probably cos hes a shit dad!

but he's even more handsome now...or is it the army gear he wears?

till does the hand wringing if you've noticed? must be his 'thing' I'm off to see if I can find any more clips of his earlier work to check it out

That was easy enough

he sounds like CJ in this one- same speech pattern as well

Crikey it even sounds like he could be talking to Molly...

"Because I can't stay away. Im restless when Im not with you and confused when I am"

Yes hes better with age.... Love his lines

Yes he is definitely better with age although Pramface wasn't that long ago I don't think?

I think hes very different in the last clip actually.

Hmm he's a bit choir boy in that last clip?

Has anyone watched Lark Rise to Candleford? Is it worth watching?

Yes choir boy, not ruggard and stubbley.

nope, never watched it. I could listen to him talk all day.
Pramface was last year

He looks very different but I think he still sounds the same.

Yes I prefer the stubble. And Army fatigues. And sweat and danger.

Stop lyndie drooling here

look who I found as a child actor

Lark rise is a lovely lovely series, even without BA.

He is only in the last series but is quite young in it, and I don't remember drooling over him as much, because it felt a bit wrong I think.
