OUR GIRL AND CAPTAIN JAMES THREAD L

[Ilovelblue]

Can you believe we are on thread 50! This is for all discussions on the BBC series Our Girl and any possible future series. Reference to Captain James is particularly welcome.

Nick Pascoe might think he's more forward thinking than most but at the end of the day, he is indoctrinated in army ways and deep down, will expect a wife to conform to army ways. Laura Cadman is trying to put him right!

Laura's got her favourite jumper on.

Both Donna and Pascoe with cinched-in waists.

Dave is touchingly dramatic - 'crime of passion'

Oh heavens Donna, have you no shame at all? Was that man the same one she made disappear through the window or a different onee?

Gosh some terrible period music - not one I remember, thank goodness.

Yes, eejit matching belts. Oh goodness, Donna is giving Nick the eye now.

Meanwhile, let's play cushion rugger in the Officers' Mess - it really was the jumper era.

Yes ilove that man was the unlikely 'experienced' candidate.

Right career rustle here.

Yes you did do something Donna - horizontal Kentucky fried chicken.

I rather like that necklace of Donna's.

What a volatile character Tucker is.

Juliet delivers her good news. It's dawned on Nick what this means for the future.

Asking the Colonel's permission to marry Juliet? That seems a bit OTT surely?

Juliet's hair reminds me of an Edwardian style - a bit Jenny Agutter in The Railway Children and 'Daddy...my daddy'

Well Nick you encouraged her to go for it and now the reality has kicked in.

Tussle!
And why is Donna wearing Carol’s blazer?

I reckon asking permission is a requirement but probably a formality in peacetime.

Oh Donna, you idiot.

Haven't got there yet, eejit but I think she had to borrow something sensible to wear in court from what I remember.

Donna and a fag and I should be so lucky.

Who is the Lt Col at the trial? I know his face.

Yep, Donna definitely borrowed that outfit from Carole - it's odd but better than her Christening outfit.

The barman went on to become a paramedic in Casualty!

That actor has been in a lot of things ilove. There are lots of familiar faces like that on TV - don't know their names but they get steady work.

Meanwhile back at Colonel Dan's place - nice line in chunky cardigan from the C.O.

Oh Nick is putting a dampener on things as well as that snooty officer's wife.

Margaret makes you cringe - she's army wife through and through.

What a dreadful dinner party. I'd hate to sit through something like that.

Oh Kylie spans the decades there!

Donna outside the local dive...meanwhile over the port and cheese...
