Still waiting out for the start date for the Nigeria tour. Always happy to discuss anything Our Girl and Captain James.

Nothing wrong with Bath CJ as long as Molly is there.

Going to stop when they get to the market. It just didn't happen. Sorry TG - it didn't happen.

By this point, I was almost hyperventilating as I think we knew Elvis wasn't going to be in any further episodes. I still hoped he might come out alive, just with terrible injuries.

I didn't realise there was still twenty minutes to go but I'm not watching.

Where can she be hit on the head and it's all a bad dream, a la Bobby Ewing.

I just got back online after restarting PC. I think I'll watch through to the end.

Delphin · 26/04/2018 21:44

Wow, the firefight is really intense.

So sorry I was late joining in. My excuse was that I had just opened the most delicious biscuits I had brought back from Sicily and my mind went blank.

Oh, and a UK helicopter with South African registration ;-).

I'd just like to move on to the next series really and think about something else. I do hope it's going to alright. I really want to find out what happens with CJ. I can't imagine that after this he can just reappear in normal CJ mode. I really want to know what's going on with him and Molly or if he's just war weary and is going to leave. I could see the whole series ending with him walking out into civvy street with one sad little glance back.

Here's a daft idea - maybe the delay is down to LT filming that elusive little cameo to appear in CJ's last episode as he leaves barracks for the last time - I am only kidding but it would be soooooo good!

eejittwo · 26/04/2018 21:47

And pause.

I rather fancied a happy ending then, in the Nigeria tour, she could be talking to him on the phone when he was back in Hereford, and he was taken out by a drunk driver.

Besides

I read somewhere that, because of SNATCH, Sony would only release him for 4 episodes. By my calculations, 5 mins Ep 1, plus about 5 mins Ep 2, plus Ep 3 and 50 mins of Ep 4 does NOT equal four episodes. Just saying ...

Rhubarb01 · 26/04/2018 21:47

Almond biscuits?

eejittwo · 26/04/2018 21:49

PIty you can't share the bikkies round, ilove, they look gorgeous.

Rhubarb01 · 26/04/2018 21:49

Yes, I just finished a cup of tea but only rich tea here, I'm afraid.

eejittwo · 26/04/2018 21:50

Consolation for those worried about the summer graveyard slot - isn't that what they did with Poldark?

Yes, I think you're right about Sony and it was only 4 episodes because filming for Snatch was supposed to be out in the Caribbean but there had been a typhoon and devastation and it meant filming was delayed so they allowed 4 episodes. In the end, they moved to the Costa del Sol some weeks later.

Rhu I thought the biscuits were going to be like those little almond biscuits you get in Italian restaurants with coffee but these were far superior. They were quite soft and had a filling just like marzipan inside. They were so heavenly, I forgot everything else!

Rhubarb01 · 26/04/2018 21:52

Is Poldark back soon eejit? Mind you, I didn't like him at all after that business with Elizabeth and I really don't like the unkempt hair look.

Delphin · 26/04/2018 21:53

Who are the two men pulling Georgie back from Elvis at the end? I think one is Kingy, but the other? James or Fingers?

eejit I bought two packets because I intended giving one to a friend as part of her birthday present next month but chances of her getting them now are slim to non existent.

Ooh nice ilove. I based my guess at almond on the fact that the German for almond in Mandeln. They sound lovely.

I wish I'd tried them when we were in Sicily then I would have been able to bring more packets home! I do like bringing little food treats back with me. My luggage allowance was almost up to the maximum on this holiday.

Rhubarb01 · 26/04/2018 21:57

Sorry Delphin I get confused about who's doing what in those scenes. The only bit I like is when CJ and Georgie hug each other at the end and they're both crying.

I'm with Rhu Delphin and it's all shouting and shooting and I get confused.

Even though I was in tears, I thought it was quite heartwarming the way CJ comforted Georgie.
