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.

Georgie having trouble sleeping. Ah, she's still got Elvis on voicemail.

Mimi has quite a relaxed attitude towards Georgie - almost shooed her out of that room. Who is in charge? Taking after her mentor there.

I've seen some intros that lasted a good five minutes before they got to the titles.

Rhubarb01 · 02/04/2020 21:06

The numpty officer is playing his trumpet.

Rhubarb01 · 02/04/2020 21:07

Impressed by the number of extras this series.

Delphin · 02/04/2020 21:08

Oh, that was him with the trumpet? (I don't get 100% of the dialogue as a non-native)

Rhubarb01 · 02/04/2020 21:09

Throbber is so irritating and so stupid. How did he pass the intelligence test?

Ah, here comes the American (soon to be) love interest. Not sure Georgie or Mimi will appreciate his "princesses" comment, very sexist.

I have said it before but given Throbber's attitude, I am surprised he even passed his basic training. I think it was "Magi* who said he was a bit like Smurf but maybe even worse.

Mimi is a bit like Molly on her first tour, giggly and just veery young :-).

Rhubarb01 · 02/04/2020 21:11

Yes, he definitely does meet every cliché...thank goodness Grin

Rhubarb01 · 02/04/2020 21:12

I wonder how prof can put up with being someone as dumb as Throbber. He's far too intelligent to be a squaddie.

Rhubarb01 · 02/04/2020 21:13

He is worse that Smurf ilove - hope he has some redeeming quality at some point.

Oh Throbber, grow up, you're like a child with a gun. You seriously need to calm down.

"Door!"
Visiting dignitary, hey?

eejittwo · 02/04/2020 21:14

Sorry - internet on a go slow tonight. I get about five words of dialogue before it buffers again.

Rhubarb01 · 02/04/2020 21:14

Fingers mentions his first tour...nostalgia....but at least he's learned from it.

eejittwo · 02/04/2020 21:15

One hates to imagine how he got the nickname Throbber in the first place.

Rhubarb01 · 02/04/2020 21:15

Now Mimi is definitely learning from Georgie, picking up all her worst habits and answering back to officers.

eejittwo · 02/04/2020 21:16

The Yank is eye candy but not a patch on Elvis - hashtagstillmourning....

Rhubarb01 · 02/04/2020 21:17

Dr Garcia haven't you learned yet that Georgie knows best about EVERYTHING!

Monk has matured a lot since series 2 as well. He was extremely "gobby" the first time we met him.

Cultural sensitivities...never was an expression less appropriate than when you witness Throbber in action.

Rhubarb01 · 02/04/2020 21:19

A few perks of the job - mind you Hershey bars are yucky - not a patch on galaxy or Lindt.

Delphin · 02/04/2020 21:20

Colour needs to have a word with Throbber...
