I wonder how much it cost them to hire all those extras?

Wish youd zipped your mouth up brigadier. At least it would have kept Him away from Georgie. Stupid Charlie!

Now, do I watch Mrs Wilson or the latest on the Brexit fiasco?

Same time on Thursday - this has been a sort-of 'off' episode. It could have been so much better if they hadn't taken a wrong turning with the story lines.

ilove - not to be political, but I'll laugh myself sick if, in a future Labour Govt, Keir Starmer finds himself forced to disclose legal advice. It would be a classic example of shooting oneself in the foot.

Well I'm catching uo on Brexit then I will watch Mrs Wilson. Really enjoyed that last week.

As for SCD I will watch on catch up when I get back then consult the spoiler. I think it's been one of the most predictable series ever.

Same time on Thursday.

I'm finding this series tough. I really don't like it. Please BBC let TG redeem CJ in a final series. As a side issue what are the odds of BA doing SCD especially after he was in the audience. It wouldn't half boost his profile.

Rhubarb01 · 04/12/2018 22:14

I think you'd be hard pressed to find any member of the public on any side of the divide who isn't sick to death of it all!

Yes Rhu, it is fairly predictable. Our bets are still safe. The bookmakers' odds say they believe it will be Joe or Stacey who will carry off the glitterball. Ashley, though technically brilliant, seems not to have the public support.

I wonder how BA got himself into the audience. I wonder if he was friendly with one of the contestants or whether they just wanted a handsome face for the cameras to focus on? It certainly would do his profile no end of good!

Rhu I'm hoping there won't be another OG series because I will be too torn about whether or not I watch it. I don't want to see anymore unbelievable rubbish with a Lane / Charlie relationship but BA is a very strong pull that I would find hard to resist! ConfusedGrin The only thing I would want to see is Charlie coming to his senses, ditching Lane, becoming Charles again and reuniting with Molly, with some challenging and gritty acting along the way. But that's not going to happen for many reasons. The series would have to be based a lot at home in the UK, so no action packed tours (even though they were just getting ridiculous anyway!). Lane is firmly fixed now as OG in most people's minds, certainly her fans who probably didn't watch S1, so the BBC won't diss her and make her a lesser character. LT is never going to return, so the plan falls down right there - which is why there was no need to break them up in the first place, because they couldn't serve together so, as long as there are no scenes at home, it worked that you only ever saw CJ.
Here endeth the lesson Grin
It's very dark and wet here, maybe that's why I'm feeling the need to vent!

Re SCD, don't think BA would do it cos I think he would think it wouldn't do his (perceived) street cred any good Hmm
Lauren and AJ must go this week - they are not Final material Angry Joe also not great. Don't want Ashley to win, so that leaves Stacey or Faye. Have to admit, been a bit disappointed with SCD this year, what with a lot of the stuff that has gone on. I liked Graeme and Oti. He wasn't the best dancer but he was a great character I thought they had fun together.

A Scottish friend posted on Facebook about Kilmarnock being at the top of tbe Scottish Premiership. I automatically thought of SF Spanner.

Back in the refugee camp - the mist of morning is rising over another sad scene of dispair.

No health records Georgie, does that make you wonder what's going on?

That is despair...doh!

Whoops what's up with the health records then, Georgie 'call me Sherlock' Holmes.

I don't like the look of that Doberman.

Oh here's CJ, looking a little sheepish perhaps.

He is trying too hard to sound fair and reasonable and not the least bit stalkerish....promises, promises, Charlie.
