Waiting out for the next series of Our Girl set in Nigeria. Some of us are still mourning the passing of Elvis Harte. All discussions on Captain James and his team welcome here (as well as other things from time to time).

I had never even been in a fan club before so I felt really daring and I think a bit daft at about 70 doing something so 21st century
I think it was when I realised there were others of similar age that I dared to de-lurk.

Yay! to series 2 - Elvis drool! drool! I've got very good at fast-forwarding past the Dr Dullandboring bits!

Ilovelblue · 06/02/2018 22:18

Ooooh, you'll join us then eejit.

Sadly for us, there are too many Dr Dullandboring bits!

Happy to be flexible on the day ilove if it needs altering on some weeks. Did you want to change to Mondays?

Ilovelblue · 06/02/2018 22:48

Monday 9pm?

Fine by me.

Off to bed now. I've started a voluntary job with a local charity working with some visually impaired people. Need to be up early tomorrow. Currently there are not two 8 o'clocks in my day so need to make an exception for tomorrow!

Good to read back your commentary and relive it all again. Rhu I never twigged about the significance of seeing CJ faff with his gun until you said it. Doh!

eejittwo · 07/02/2018 21:29

Boo!

Can't do Mondays - but I will follow on 'catch-up' (any excuse ...) and comment.

Ilovelblue · 07/02/2018 22:33

Oh it would be nice to have somebody else along eejit. What days can you do?

OP posts:
eejittwo · 08/02/2018 07:11

Tuesdays, usually, and Thursdays, or Sundays

Ilovelblue · 08/02/2018 22:13

If Rhu and Flower are up for a change of date, it's ok by me. Thursdays would be good. I will struggle with a couple of Sundays unfortunately.

Flowerfan · 08/02/2018 22:41

Hi
Thursday is ok for me but see which is the most popular for everyone and I will try and fit in.

Ilovelblue · 12/02/2018 19:38

Ladies, here's your opportunity to vote for CJ, Elvis or whoever....

www.radiotimes.com/news/tv/2018-02-12/dream-tv-date/

I hadn't heard of most of the ones listed but there's an option at the end to vote for AN Other.

Are we ok for the final episode's watchalong tomorrow night?

OP posts:
eejittwo · 12/02/2018 22:13

Done!

Ilovelblue · 12/02/2018 22:20

I bet I know who you voted for eejit.

OP posts:
eejittwo · 12/02/2018 23:04

ilove, a girl can dream.

Ilovelblue · 12/02/2018 23:48

Well yes eejit, but I do wonder if Elvis (rather than LP) would spend the evening looking round to see how many other women were lusting after him...

OP posts:
Rhubarb01 · 13/02/2018 00:13

I was going to say 'Evening' but it's morning Shock

Still OK for last episode tonight - lots of ahhh!! moments anticipated.

I might have voted for a certain you-know-who on the RT website - you'll have to guess which one, however.

Goodnight - see you at 21:00!

Flowerfan · 13/02/2018 08:19

I hope to be there but DH not very well so might not go out!!
Will read your comments though as I love this episode

Magi84 · 13/02/2018 10:20

I'll be following along and visualising everything. Am getting my DVD back next week so will probably have a binge all to myself keeping your comments in mind. Did a quick vote on the RT - no need to ask who I voted for!

Ilovelblue · 13/02/2018 13:06

Magi bet you voted for Major Beck! Haha.

Magi84 · 13/02/2018 16:18

Oh Ilove. You sussed me out! (Believe that and you'll believe anything)

eejittwo · 13/02/2018 18:45

I entertained myself thinking how to classify the various OG couples according to this article. Georgie + Elvis, Georgie + Dr Dull, Georgie _ Milan, Maisie + Rab, Jason/Abu and Saira.
And then there are the OG1 couples, which I don't know about.
Hours of harmless fun!

Any suggestions, ladies?

Ilovelblue · 13/02/2018 20:48

Oh, that sounds as if it will need quite some thought putting into it eejit. I need to get my head in the game, as CJ is known to say, about our watchalong. I might need to leave your little task until tomorrow. Rhu is probably better at things like this than me .....

OP posts:
Rhubarb01 · 13/02/2018 20:55

I had a quick look eejit and realised I'd need to apply a considerable amount of brain power to that. I will take time at what CJ would call an "appro'prt" moment to read, absorb and cogitate on a response. For a moment I wished I had the vocabulary of Leonard Sachs when introducing the acts on The Good Old Days. What a curious idea of entertainment that was in its day - although as a child I always fancied the idea of dressing up like all the ladies in the big hats.
