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.

That American guy is very irritating, whether he's drunk or sober.

Dolly Parton not Tammy Wynette Rhu, haha.

But it was Tammy Wynette who sang it first.

I do like the padre and his sense of humour. What does he actually do when he's not padre-ing?

Remember the Padre in Bluestone 42 ilove - hope he doesn't do that!

Now Dave is home.

Now we have the flute music - this means it's sentimental/sad/romantic. Now the annoying American guy is going to help Donna see sense.

Hmmm, I can't think now. Remind me once we've finished this watchalong Rhu.

Looks like Donna's got a range of white shoes of various heel heights.

The Padre was a 'she' who had, what I will only call the 'hots' for lovely Nick.

Hm, I’ve already finished. Cut for adverts AND shorter!

Oh yes, of course! I came to Bluestone 42 quite late on.

I wonder how hot it is at night? Would you want to sleep under the bedclothes.

Eejit when you were t alking about the fish in the restaurant, I realised you had somehow got ahead of us.

Oh we've moved onto the violin theme - so now it's very serious stuff. Back to the flute - all is well!

All is well in the Tucker household (for now anyway).

So what are we doing next week ladies? Which night?

That’s all I bed. Took the laptop into the living room instead of the kitchen table, and it SULKED at being plugged into a different socket. When I took it back ‘home’, it was perfectly happy and lit up charging right away. Talk about Marvin the paranoid android!

Next Tuesday fine with me.

Tuesday is ok by me too.

Music has played quite a role in that episode - lots of different themes played out by the tunes. Obviously, rock guitar is for the action stuff and the flute and violins for the softer more emotional scenes.

Tuesday all right with me as well.

Hello everyone. Well I thoroughly enjoyed reading your watchalong chat this morning. I watched it all on UK/TV and hadn't realised they'd cut bits out but it does explain the fact that sometimes it seemed a little odd. Donna's character certainly changes a lot through the later series and in fact develops well.

I must admit I admire very much how you all appreciate the music. I am afraid I am one of those awful people who just either doesn't even here it or in some cases finds it annoying! Not got a good ear suppose! Having said that funnily enough I did hear and loved the music from the first series of OG.

Should read "hear" not "here"!! I can spell honest😇

Bit like my 'bed' above - I meant 'need". Anyhow, turned out the charger had died, not the battery or any other part of the laptop. Phew!

Bet you were worried eejit. At least a replacement charger is cheaper than a new laptop!

Since finishing work, Doctors on BBC1 is my guilty pleasure. Addictive trash really. Lt Kate Butler (Lesley Vickerage) was on it earlier this week. She has really aged! I wadn't even sure it was her at first.

I need to get a new thread ready for our next watchalong. Do we need to change the title at all? Any ideas?

Ladies - I have just seen a box set of the complete second series of ROME at a SIGNIFICANT mark-down in a local shop.

1. Does anyone else remember ROME?
2. If you do, is that the series with Cleopatra?
