Our Girl and Captain James Addicts Thread XXXVIII

[icemistOBE]

2 years ago a thread on Our Girl was started with these words ^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^

38,000 posts, fireside wrestling contests, fan-fiction, autograph requests, carol concerts, CJ Grand Tours later we are about to watch series 2! And that first post is a distant memory.

Join us on what is sure to be an amazing journey over the next 5 weeks

Stay Alert, Stay Focused, Stay Alive

Just seen a trailer for episode 2 with some new clips. Can report that Georgie is starting to look a bit roughed up!

Just saw that too rhu. I must admit I'm a bit oblivious to makeup as someone who barely wears the stuff.

To be honest I didn't think MK was plastered in make up in episode 1. She has tanned skin tone and dark eyelashes etc but it didn't look too much to me and sometimes she did look sweaty with wisps of hair stuck to her face. As Kezia said it varied a bit depending on the light. I reckon people are so used to seeing her on the red carpet etc that it's what they expect.

Really rhu it's as if she's a victim of her own success in Soapland and Hello magazines........

I have had to rewatch the entire first series today ( highlights version) just to remind myself how amazing it was..thought I had totally weaned myself off this but the obsession is fully back.. aagh! Can't remember who said it earlier but I've also never been so invested in a fictional couple as with Molly and CJ plus obvs the CJ appreciation. I've been talked down from my rant earlier about S2 thanks to your positive comments so am hoping for better things from ep 2 and something more substantial for CJ than endless ' ASAP' 'Lane' and 'on me's' charming as they undoubtedly are!

Have you read our comments during our Watchalong tonight lloupey?

A tricky line to walk ilove. Maybe she's just having her cake and eat it - and we all would if we could - and when we're talking about real cake or Viennese whirls I definitely do.

I suppose the alternative is to do the total opposite of your physical self - do a Charlize Theron and go for a role which makes you as ugly as possible - imagine the comments then!

Evening all.

Just realised I've missed a watch along thingy . Are you likely to do one every Friday?

Anyone know whether the Huffington Post is reliable? Just found an online article that comments on the relationship between CJ and Molly.

I don't know alittle. I know the article you are talking about but I'm not sure that any of the TV mags or guides have got the full story in advance and so far we don't really know a great deal. I thought they got given preview tapes in time to do write ups to make the print deadlines etc. I've read a few inaccurate things on various sites so far.

Ok thanks Rhu.

Oops I've missed the Watchalong oh well never mind.

Just thought I'd throw these in to help with bedtime...

Damn how did he escape? Clever use of a drainpipe I guess...

A good strong drainpipe to shimmy up, ehh Woof

Did anyone see the review in Grazia? Was the guy watching the same programme? Pillock.

No Beansy what did he say?

And indeed down or in pix

He'd never have escaped from us woof. He'd have been held captive without a doubt.

Good question from Alittle. Are we going to do a Friday night watchalong?

Every Friday I mean....

Morning. Yes,ilove I wondered if a regular 9pm Friday for the latest episode watchalong might work for everyone?

I took a gander at Pixie's antics last night - hope you're feeling ok this morning. Congratulations on getting TG to join in with his 'paddling pool' contribution.

Although, I've realised straight away that I can't do next Friday - but I'd still like to read everyone else's comments and a Friday has given us enough to time to do our first reactions and analysis so that we can move onto to appreciating all the finer details.

Oh dear that is sounding a little bit obsessive isn't it but you know what I mean! I'm beginning to wonder when Elvis is going to make a proper appearance because having looked through the main cast list for episode 2 in the RT - he's not on it Or was he so undercover that no one recognised him?

Rhu change it by all means. You are a central player in the watchalongs....

Obsessed you may be (along with everyone else) but I noticed his name appears on the credits at the beginning inmediately after MK's so I assume from that he has a major part to play. They'll string out the kidnap/potential execution for a large proportion of the next episode I guess?

Oh ilove I need to get out more!

I'm quite happy for everyone to stick with a regular day if it works and I don't mind missing one - after all it will soon be SCD and you know I won't miss that!

Actually I got that wrong. BA's name is second on the credits. It was a good excuse to go back and watch some of it again!

Morning all. Sorry I had to cut short the rest of the watchalong. Was fun though and good to watch again.

Hope the post bingo head is ok this morning pix. The TG tweet was fab.
