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.

Tuesday is better than Thursday next week.

eejittwo · 04/12/2019 22:01

Just finished now. Dratted ad breaks!

Rhubarb01 · 04/12/2019 22:04

Tuesday is OK for me, if we want to start on series 5. Will be good to see some new faces and move on.

Tuesday it is then.

I may be the class swot and watch the first episode of the next series ahead of our watchalong.

Do we want to decide on the following week (I can only do Tuesday). If that's no good, we will have to wait until 2020!

Ladies, SO SORRY but got a domestic problem of the heating variety. Engineer coming out so probably can't do the watchalong. What do you want to do?

Evening, sorry to hear about your problem ilove. I'm able to do most evenings, so could happily do a different evening this week or will wait until next week, if preferred. Same as before, my social diary is somewhat empty - had a meal out with work a couple of weeks ago, and nothing else is planned.

eejittwo · 10/12/2019 22:12

Wednesday - tomorrow - is best for me this week, though I could do Thursday at a push. Next week, Tuesday or Wednesday is best.

eejittwo · 10/12/2019 22:14

PS - have you got your heating fixed, ilove? Not good weather - very wet and windy here - to be heat-free.

Hi both. The plumber went about 9.10 pm and then I had some clearing up to do so I couldn't have made the watchalong at all. I was amazed he offered to come out tonight and didn't charge any more than he would during the day. It was just the gas fire that was giving problems and it was apparently an easy fix.

Wet, windy and stormy here tonight. Absolutely torrential rain early evening.

I can't do tomorrow, sorry, as it's our local Christmas market evening - a really good atmosphere even if a lot of the stalls sell tat! Thursday is fine, if you can manage it eejit?

Next week would have to be Tuesday if that suits you both. On Wednesday I am up in your neck of the woods eejit? Well, at our normal watchalong time, we'll be on the train home.

Off to bed now. Night all. xx

Hope you've exercised your democratic duty ladies and are ready for some light military relief in the shape of series 5 now.

Ooh yes ilove I arrived at my local polling station to find the current MP outside in the rain wearing his rosette. Fancy!

Here we are in the mess, lots of scarlet and brass. Michael looks ill at ease.

I was looking at the DVD box before and there are 15 episodes in this series. It would be unheard of in OG. The fun we could have had with so many episodes.

I think Michael has been promoted, hasn't he? The previous Lt Col mentioned it.

OP posts:
Rhubarb01 · 12/12/2019 21:02

So Michael has got a commission.

Rhubarb01 · 12/12/2019 21:03

A new C.O. perhaps and he's got a bit of swagger about him.. could be interesting.

Joe and Dave look more as if they should be in An Officer and a Gentleman in that white waiter uniform.

Oooh a new colonel.

Should I recognise the actor?

Tony May be no more but I see boxing in the opening titles.

Rhubarb01 · 12/12/2019 21:04

EX SAS...not quite Elvis but still.

Meanwhile Donna is living life as a single parent. Looks like Marsha has things to learn too.

Yes eejit I noticed more boxing! Yawn, yawn.

Donna and Dave have split up. Donna is working nights so I presume the other woman here is the childminder.

Now they are based at Warminster. Exercises on Salisbury Plain. I once saw tanks on a night exercise as I was driving through there in the dark.
