Our Girl Series 4 - **Title edited by MNHQ**

[Ilovelblue]

We have been discussing Our Girl from the first series back in 2014 and are now on thread 55!

Uh oh... Weapons from the hiding place...

Ooops, the Afghan soldiers plan an is to shoot the Brigadier.

I did think this old woman struggling to the front of the queue was going to be significant - maybe a terrorist in disguise - but I was wrong.

Georgie interrogates Dr Antonio to find out what he knows about Omar being shipped back to Pakistan in some sort of deal.

Who called on Omar not being Omar before?

Antonio eventually tells Georgie that Omar might not actually be Omar. A need to know basis.

Prof sees Georgie giving Antonio a hug. He's definitely jealous.

I can't stand the brigadier, he is utterly, utterly pretentious, pompous and patronising.

I think we had a few theories on that Delphin.

Yeah, John Michie was a far better brig.

The Afghans' plans are thwarted when Poya is ordered to go to the hos.pital. The tension is definitely mounting now.

Mimi is going to the hospital with Poya. She does seem to have a soft spot for him, not in a sexual way, but they do seem to have bonded. Oops, here comes Dr Antonio as a last minute addition.

@Ilovelblue : agree on the Brigadier.

Poya gives us some insight into his past - his parents' farm was bombed during his brother's funeral.

Whilst in the presentation line awaiting the American bigwig's arrival, there is some idle banter with the platoon. Morbid, but still quite funny.

I've had a message from Rhu as she has been detained with some work issues. We'll carry on then maybe do something again next week? Even do a 6 week watchalong once the dust has settled?

Aw shucks! We’ll need to do something to involve Rhu.

Poya opens the cupboard to find a suicide vest! We had one in series 1 with Molly and Bashira and another in series 2 in Nigeria with Bones and a child whose name I have forgotten.

Or was it Bones - my memories of that series are sketchy as the writing was so rubbish.

Love the Prof’s lune about encouraging kids to express themselves.

I agree eejit.

Poya decides...

Here comes bigwig Yank.

Can’t remember the name of the child but Bones was assisted by Fingers as well as Georgie.

So now we find out what Mimi's past was - she was adopted as a baby. Her birth mother was a heroin addict.

Mimi manages to talk Poya into taking his finger off the detonator then boom, here comes Dr Antonio who shoots him dead!

(Rhu and eejit, how do we think Dr Sadie would have handled that in her lovely white coat?)

I love the way Lt Hurst explains to the Brig that everyone needs to disperse due to the suicide vest incident at the hospital and then takes charge when the Brig wants to ignore him and carry on with the parade.

Good question - and what about that Aussie sergeant?

Waaaaaah!!!

Message from Rhu that she'd love to do a second watchalong on this last episode next week.
