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.

Is this the ‘FOB’

Rhubarb01 · 28/02/2019 21:19

Colonel Dan does a lot of roaring - that's his making an effort noise.

Rhubarb01 · 28/02/2019 21:19

Is 'Stuffing your arm' a known medical condition?

Rhubarb01 · 28/02/2019 21:21

The padre recommends a nip from a hip flask for all situations - a good man to know.

She's going to get plenty of "grass roots" info for her article from Tucker!

Rachel is getting the inside gen on her man from Tucker and we are learning a little bit about spotty Dave Tucker.

Oh jolly good, Kate, thank goodness for DofE (I have history with this!)

It must be touching for her to listen to Tucker's admiration for Colonel Dan. Meanwhile, Garvey and Kate set off to try and find the helicopter.

I think 'niggling a bit' is Colonel Dan speak for bloody painful!

eejittwo · 28/02/2019 21:25

So what happened to Dan’s previous woman. Must have missed something.

Rhubarb01 · 28/02/2019 21:25

Now some back story on Colonel Dan - his first wife died. Funny, we are seeing the Nick and Juliet problem all over again.

Meanwhile back at the rockface - will Garvey cope with a woman who is just as good as he is?

Kate obviously wants to be "one of the boys". Must be hard being accepted into what is so clearly a man's world.

Must have been even more difficult twenty five years ago ilove but good on the writers for putting a strong female character into the series.

Maybe Rachel should take notice of Tucker's words, even though they are spoken in jest.

Tony is really laying his promotion on thickly - like Dave's comment about NCO brains.

Rhubarb01 · 28/02/2019 21:31

Tony is such a grump!

Rhubarb01 · 28/02/2019 21:32

Now we learn that Kate is pretty ordinary and went to a comprehensive school. Garvey is starting to give credit where it is due.

Rhubarb01 · 28/02/2019 21:33

CPR has moved on a bit too - come on 'Staying alive...staying alive...'

Rhubarb01 · 28/02/2019 21:34

Things aren't looking good for the Padre and Colonel Dan - the helicopter hasn't seen them.

Oh Rachel you can't exactly stomp off effectively wearing that sort of Artic gear!

OP posts:
Rhubarb01 · 28/02/2019 21:37

Suddenly Tony is being ingratiating, trying to get on the right side of Rachel as he knows she's the Colonel's girlfriend.

eejittwo · 28/02/2019 21:39

This would be so different if Georgie were in charge Grin

Rhubarb01 · 28/02/2019 21:39

Oh that's going to be hard work with the stretcher - Kate is so keen to show that she can manage as well as any of the men, but her legs look like they are buckling - still we've seen Georgie manage a stretcher with CJ before now.

Simon is definitely going to have a quiet night!

Yes eejit she would have overruled the Colonel and probably injected him with morphine to shut him up!

Rhubarb01 · 28/02/2019 21:41

Hooray! the cavalry has arrived and Colonel Dan is saved!
