Little Drummer Girl anyone?

Anyone watching? Cant see another thread!

Gadi’s flat!!!!
The designers surpassed themselves there!
Where is it!

Loving this now.

Very tasteful sex scene. And Gadi properly smiling.

Didn't like her eye in his mouth in the sex scene. Seemed out of place given the rest of the series. But hey ho.

Gadi's apartment was in Bevin Court:

An improvement tonight. Who is Fatmeh - I've not been paying attention?!

Fatmeh is Salim's sister that the Israelis got him to write to when they had him captured so they could copy his handwriting for the love letters to Charlie.

Really liked tonight's episode it is building nicely. Definitely think her head will be turned by Fatmeh and their cause. Considering she has ended up there shows how easily lead and easily manipulated she is anyway. Gadi will know this and try to intervene somehow possibly turning his back on his pretty scummy boss. Two more episodes looking forward to seeing how it plays out. Will Charlie pay the ultimate price for being a pawn in all their games .

Didn't like her eye in his mouth in the sex scene Totally agree it was misplaced like something you'd see in a bad 70's movie or tales of the unexpected

Dulra, I think it will be Gadi who pays the price. Just my guess. Haven't got very far in the book.

Thank you, Walkingtheplank. I didn’t know about that building or architect, something new to explore. Fabulous.

Yes, re Charlie reverting to her original allegiance. Gadi has played this: he used it when he gave the graphic description of Zionist attacks in the Wood, and saw how that ignited her, and has likely become ‘her truth’ that she uses as the basis for her acting.

I love the layers of control and manipulation; how Kultz plays Gadi as he plays Charlie. The Kultz -Gadi relationship is so complex.

Actress who plays Fatmeh was in The Honourable Woman wasn't she?

Really enjoyed yesterday evening's episode and much easier to follow now. It's almost as if Charlie has fallen in love with Gadi as Michel...

Agree that Gadi's awakening conscience may bite him the butt big time. I suspect he will go after Charlie to keep close/make sure she's safe and that somehow will be his undoing (maybe the undoing of the operation too?).

The Israelis have referred to Gadi using his skills of making women fall in love with him several times (and was told last night to do whatever it takes) so I'm hoping it wasn't all an act last night sleeping with Charlie. He does seem to have genuine concern for Charlie.

I wonder whether Gadi is a bit of a rogue agent/double agent as he referred to himself as a soldier and it has been mentioned that he's had fallings out with the Israelis in the past and has only just come back to them fairly recently which hasn't gone down too well with some of the other Israelis. I think there will be a lot more about Gadi to come out.

There was something in the first episode which made me wonder whether Gadi might be on the Palestinian side. It was only a fleeting thought that I very quickly dismissed but...

NewModelArmy You are so right. That actress was in The Honourable Woman.

There must be a reason why Gadi is not allowed to enter Israel. At first he said he got divorced, because he could not go to Israel and she could not leave Israel.

I will be so disappointed if it will be another rubbish Munich film job. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich_(film)

If she does park her loyalty with the Palestinians, she can't blow the Isreali plot without causing Gadi's death.

I do not mind Gadi dying, but I cannot watch another 2 hours about how those terrorists are totally misunderstood. I still remember how scary it was to fly (and live) in the 1970s and 1980s when various allied terrorist groups were bombing European targets, planes, airports and airport buses.

Hi
Late to the thread
But actually loving the programme , I did read the book years ago . I think I would really struggle with following the tv plot had I not

Loving all the attention to detail ... the 1970s clothes and furnishings etc
But I thought this was set in 1981... were we not getting big dynasty hair and “ stretch jeans” in 1981

Ps I love Alexander Skaarsgard

Xxxxx

Ep 1 says 1979.

The miniskirts are wrong, as are Charlie's bushy eyebrows.

Yes mini skirts went out big time in 1974 when I was in the last year at primary.

The long dresses are a bit Abigails Party (1977). By 1979, everything was a bit more flouncy.

Bushy eyebrows reappeared with Brooke Shields (Blue Lagoon 1980) so possible if Charlie was really with it and ahead of the game.

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks the fashiion is rather 'off'. It's been increasingly bugging me. Her dresses are a bit Kate Bush circa 1977 (when Wuthering Heights was a thing).

Blimey, 79?
Punk was underway then, but in mainstream fashion jeans were straight, skirts were knee length and sort of flared, dungarees, gypsy skirts, tweed jackets, no one wore those maxi dresses any more!

I went to see a film not so long ago (can't for the life of me think what it was now) where the fashions were from a similar era but equally 'out' by a few years. It's really quite jarring.

The dresses are a lot like films that were a bit continental and sophisticated. Sort of Sophia Loren. (or Pink Panther )

Or Last Tango in Paris (when she had any clothes on!!!)

Melamin Good point about the continental and sophisticated thing.

It's probably worth noting that when Charlie is doing her trip with 'Michel' it is an important part of the fiction that she is dressing how Michel wants her to dress, on what the fiction called their 'continental honeymoon'. So she is wearing the clothes that the Israelis think Michel would have wanted her to wear - continental and sophisticated. Also, in the book, when she is crossing the border with the car, the Israelis give her the sort of cover story (a cover within a cover) that Michel might have given her to help her cross - that she is the mistress of a rich Munich doctor, and so she is dressing that part too. In the series, her clothes are quite different when she goes back to England and Michel isn't around.

I do love the films from that era - when continental holidays were a luxury and the films idolised and romanticised this, with breathy singing in foreign words . The Pink Panthers took the mickey beautifully.

It does make sense to use this glamourous style for the 'continental honeymoon'.

I remember the Munich Olympic flight bag that a boy at school had for his football kit (flight bags were very sophisticated too )
