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.

Morning ladies. It's been like the Marie Celeste on here! Are we ok for our watchalong tonight?

Enjoying a rare afternoon off from work today, and building up my strength for this evenings watchalong.

Afternoon ladies! I will be with you at 9pm for episode 3.

Harrumph! Bang on cue - it’s nearly 8 o’clock and the internet starts playing up. Happens every night.

That always seemed to happen to me, too at one time eejit.

Here's a little nostalgic whimsy from yesteryear on this thread...I've just been away for a few days, staying at a quiet country getaway which had a small fishing lake. In the middle of the lake was a tiny little island on which they'd placed a large, metal statue of...a stag! Yes, I stood there and giggled to myself at its magnificence and isolates splendour and thought to myself, "I know a bunch of ladies who would greatly appreciate that!"

OK now to the serious business of Episode 4 - not three as I previously mentioned. This one is "Lifelines"

Ready and waiting ladies.

Well, here we go.

Looks like they're up country somewhere. Bit of a FOB by the looks of it.

Just enduring the adverts on UKTV

Interesting to see Paddy smoking. Wonder if they would have characters smoking now.

Up on the frontier in the New Territories, I guess.

All that barbed wire is very scary.

None of them look very enthusiastic about their surveillance.

This brings back nasty memories of Belize. Oh please don't leave any of them alone with Georgie, who knows where it will end.

Yes, it's the dead pig trick again - that was a bit Belize too.

Lt Pereira jumps into action.

I hope there's nothing nasty in that river.

Dave is so soft-hearted and he hasn't got the heart for this business.

Meanwhile, back at the officer's residence, breakfast on the verandah.

Poor piggy.
Not Belize - no broccoli. And dig the rock guitar sound track!

Oh Dave, you're torn between duty and sympathy but it will get you into trouble!

Gosh is it really necessary to march those men along like that with the bamboo canes round their backs?

Nice pad Colonel Dan has for his tour of duty!

Oh the big news from Dave... he's going to be a Daddy. Nice chat here in the bogs.

I know Rhu. It's not the British way of arresting somebody. Do you think they had to adopt the Hong Kong police's methods?

Ah, Dave wants to make something of himself for the sake of his baby and family.

Not sure Donna is really that pleased - she's using that Geordie charm of her to win over her mother's neighbours...not.

Dave sounds overjoyed - not.

Oooh Dave, I'm not entirely sure Donna is thrilled about the idea of a child. Not yet anyway.
