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 and hoping it might not be long now. In the meantime, we are reviewing the seven series of Soldier Soldier.

Prove it.....go on lad...think of England....love the tiptoe moment!!! Grin

Jeremy appears at the clinic with flowers to see Lilian and tells her he's falling in love.

He deserves some good luck on the romantic front.

Now that's an improvement on CJ shining a torch of Molly in the tent at midnight - a topless Major Rory!!

Ilovelblue · 17/03/2020 21:48

A sight for sore eyes definitely Rhu.

What was the news from Col Phillips? Not good news I imagine.

Urghhh!! yucky pants moments outside the tent - the shower scene in Afghan it aint!

Here comes Jeremy the next morning...scoundrel!

Rhubarb01 · 17/03/2020 21:48

Love everyone covering for Jeremy and trying not to laugh.

eejittwo · 17/03/2020 21:49

Got a right telling off from Sharpe, as I recall. Incidentally, Sharpe is now available on UKTV too - drool!

eejittwo · 17/03/2020 21:49

Or the shower scene in Kenya with the dodgy continuity.

Rhubarb01 · 17/03/2020 21:51

This is a serious moment. Going to be fighting baddies for real. It's no exercise this time.

eejittwo · 17/03/2020 21:52

Georgie to the rescue!Wink

Ilovelblue · 17/03/2020 21:52

It seems a situation has arisen which means the so called training exercise will be abandoned and the soldiers will be entering a real war zone.

To be continued by the looks of it. This episode reminded me a lot of OG series 2 apart from those awful pants sense - remember the Elvis shower - cor - I do hope that makes it into the Elvis flashbacks somehow.

eejittwo · 17/03/2020 21:54

That were good, ladies.

Ilovelblue · 17/03/2020 21:54

That ended on a cliffhanger.

Now, next week is the start of something called Our Girl, sounds quite good. Think we might give it a try? Put Soldier Soldier on the backburner for a few weeks?

What's the plan? Watch on our own (radio silience), then a quick discussion maybe afterwards, followed by a watchalong later that week? That's what we've usually done I think

pants scene - but yes there was definitely no sense about the pants at all.

eejittwo · 17/03/2020 21:55

That shower wouldn’t be a flash back for Georgie but for CJ ...

Rhubarb01 · 17/03/2020 21:57

Yes that sounds good ilove. I will definitely need to watch, absorb and possibly disapprove/pick holes in it and then discuss the lack of CJ, cute goats, hunky special forces soldiers and big...watches!

Rhubarb01 · 17/03/2020 21:58

Yes, I know eejit but I reckon it should be fitted in somehow for our benefit even if it's just a CJ voiceover reminiscing about his friend Elvis.

Ilovelblue · 17/03/2020 22:11

So ladies..... is it going to be a quick first impression (10 pm on Tuesday) then maybe 9 pm on Thursday for a more detailed discussion?

OP posts:
Rhubarb01 · 17/03/2020 22:32

Yes, that sounds OK to me - happy to go with that ilove

Magi84 · 18/03/2020 10:09

There is quite an interesting OG trailer on YouTube called Series 3 Recap. Georgie (MK) is explaining what happened in that series and how it affected her etc. Losing Elvis and the "thing" with CJ etc. Then goes on to feature the new personnel in series 4. My only problem with is that I have trouble with MK's voice (or maybe accent) sometimes so missed little snippets.

Roll on Tuesday now as I am beginning to get in the mood for it!

Ilovelblue · 18/03/2020 14:40

I think our strange situation we find ourselves in might mean I sift through my DVDs and as yet unwatched TV recordings. The new OG series is well timed in that respect!

Everything I am involved with through the week has been cancelled though I can work on my own in a garden belonging to a local charity. Depends how long we have to practise social distancing for. Plenty to do in my own garden too. I also went to the local DIY store this morning to stock up on paint for the fence. There were plenty of over 70s in there I noticed!

Managed to get up to date on Soldier Soldier in the last few days. Now all set for tomorrow night's excitement.

Ilovelblue · 23/03/2020 20:23

It's the one thing to look forward to at the moment eejit.

Hope you're ok and getting food supplies etc.

OP posts:
Rhubarb01 · 23/03/2020 20:49

Oh goodness, you're definitely right ilove it really is the only thing to look forward to right now. The news is so grim, but I think there's no choice at the moment. Never was there a time we needed diversion more.
