Garvey looks as great in the backwards facing baseball cap as BA does!

Sorry, got carried away. It’s quite dramatic, innit.
PS - the comment about Stormin Norman.

Dave Tucker is wearing a really awful shirt. It's like a really bad 1970's carpet.

Those cable stitch/Aran jumpers and cardigans are very of the time aren't they?

If this were OG, they wouldn't be having cosy chats on the phone, she would be round the barracks like a shot.

Rhubarb01 · 07/02/2019 21:37

Oh, yuck Donna - how can you even think of asking him to make you some breakfast after that chucking-up episode.

Rhubarb01 · 07/02/2019 21:38

Nice pear of flowery culottes there. Everyone's got a lot of frizzy hair haven't they.

The tension is rising.

The actor playing Freddie is good - you can see him teetering between anger and tears at some points. He's just a tightly wound spring.

Sgt Lewis is about to flip back at home methinks.

Oops! How very different from the home life of our own dear CJ.

This PTSD is handled much more realistically than in OG. TG take note!

Oh eejit if only we could have seen any of CJ's home life it would have been nice.

I think part of the reason we like Molly so much is because we fully understand her background and we know her family.

Rhubarb01 · 07/02/2019 21:45

I don't think it was a good idea for sergeant major to turn up. I think he'd be better off talking to the padre. Poor man has really suffered.

Rhubarb01 · 07/02/2019 21:47

Oh this is terrible.

So the TA came up trumps.

eejittwo · 07/02/2019 21:49

That were good. And believable. Not saying that she is right. SM may be tighter, that it is too early to make that decision, but if I have one (!!!!!!) criticism of OG 3+, it was that Georgie didn’t have enough flashbacks and memories, esp when Bones was blown up.

eejittwo · 07/02/2019 21:50

SM may be righter, not tighter!

Rhubarb01 · 07/02/2019 21:51

Yes, Sgt Lewis made sure that any hope of a future together was scuppered.

Totally agree with you eejit. When I first watched this series on DVD over Christmas, I thought this episode was very thought provoking and it was easy to make comparisons with OG. Having seen Elvis blown up, then witnessing Bones meeting the same end, how could you not relive it all. Series 3 was just a pathetic shadow of the other series, wasn't it?
