Changed the name of this thread as we were very upset with the ending of series 3 out in Bangladesh! Waiting out for news of series 4. In the meantime, we are reviewing the seven series of Soldier Soldier.

For once UKTV is going slow. I’ve just caught up with Jack joining up.

Kate is stuck between a rock and a hard place, neither front line soldier nor army wife.

Meanwhile back on the front line in Bosnia, things look extremely grim.

Thinking of "Warriors" again - we are seeing all the dangers that they will face. What they don't realise is the frustration and anguish of feeling helpless and not being permitted to wade in and stop the conflict.

Dave makes a two second slot on TV.

It was a dire situation - the C.O. is seeing the reality.

eejittwo · 30/07/2019 21:18

You forget just how awful this all was.

Rhubarb01 · 30/07/2019 21:18

Oh, Major Tim is not going to Bosnia - he is going to be really cross about it.

Major Radley is being posted to Northern Ireland. Seems he really wants to go to Bosnia.

ooh the Sergeant's Mess Ball - that sounds fun!

Rhubarb01 · 30/07/2019 21:20

I'm not sure a posting to Ulster was much better in those days. But it's promotion and he has to take it.

Rhubarb01 · 30/07/2019 21:22

So, Paddy isn't sure about a long-term relationship with Christina. I suppose it's going to Bosnia that's making him think that way.

Yes, a tour of Northern Ireland wasn't something you would look forward to really.

A friend of mine who was in the RAF does not speak well of his time out there.

Dave's getting touchy about making a will.

Rhubarb01 · 30/07/2019 21:24

I think Dave is worried about this tour and gaining a sense of his own mortality.

I've just made a few tweaks to my own will. It's a strange feeling when you think about it too carefully.

And his words to Kate are being said to him.

Rhubarb01 · 30/07/2019 21:26

It's a good idea to let the wives to ask the sort of questions that concern them. He is able to give them the information they need.

Rhubarb01 · 30/07/2019 21:27

Surely nobody dances to a band like that! You'd think it was a rave!

Not sure whether that song "Leaving on a Jet Plane" is appropriate or not!

The battalion dinner jackets are very eyecatching.

Tony Wilton sensitive? He's an a&sehole!

Poor Tony - how embarrassing to be discussed like that in front of the Colonel - Joy is so funny

eejittwo · 30/07/2019 21:28

LIke Paddy's reply to Dave - only snogging your wife.

Rhubarb01 · 30/07/2019 21:29

So Tim is asking the Colonel to pull strings.

Kate's wearing that awful dress again - embroidered crimplene by the looks of it.

eejittwo · 30/07/2019 21:30

Have I missed anything? I'm at the bit where the chappie is talking to the troops.

eejittwo · 30/07/2019 21:31

Is that before or after Leaving on a Jet Plane?
