Our Girl Thread 56 "Stay Obsessed"

[Ilovelblue]

We have been discussing the series Our Girl since the first one aired in 2014 and are now on number 56! Occasionally between discussions of Our Girl, we watch the 1990s series of Soldier Soldier.

Oh the Brig is calling from London - dear old Briggy! Is it the same one who turns up in Afghan?

Go on Georgie, tell that kid she's going back whether she likes it or not!

At least Rab now wants the phone back.

At least Georgie is trying to talk some sense into her. No more ideas of being the next British PM.

More ropey tents

Here she goes, start arguing again. Has she ever understood the way orders and chain of command work in the army?

Gruesome conversation over tea - don't know whether to laugh or cringe!

Some banter between Rab and Maisie.

This must be the smallest section in the British Army that isn't SF.

I think the answer to that question, Maisie, is "NO!"

Off goes Georgie being "Naughty!"

Amazing, isn’t it, that any tour with Georgie aborts? What happened to the humanitarian mission.

I like Georgie/MK's hair in these scenes. It suits her a little bit shorter.

And now for more local colour.

How come Georgie is in civvies? They weren't expecting to stay overnight originally, were they?

The living goddess idea is so peculiar, I hate to see young children made up like that.

From living goddess to living imp

Yuck, yuck, yuck. Do not be spontaneous with Milan, Georgie. And certainly not with Nescafe!

Off goes Tara/Farah/Thara - she didn't listen to Georgie or Maisie. Oh, now Georgie feels awkward.

How could she resist?...well he has some humour about it.

"Has it worked?" that is a CJ line for our enjoyment.

Go back to the barracks Georgie, DON’T be spontaneous.

OK, why would she answer the call in that...er...position - as if!

Good bit coming up

She lies to CJ again

That must have been something like a Facetime call! Ooops, how embarrassing.

They weren't just eating, CJ and surely you knew that.

Oh hello! The delicious Elvis has just appeared.

Nice bit of headset action

Allowed to eat, but not like that!

ooooh..er...gosh yes I'd be well flustered too. I bet he wonders what she's been up to, if only he knew.

Best bit of the whole episode right now. Hands up "Morning Elvis!!" "Me, Me, Me!"

God, he's gorgeous. I wouldn't be able to take in anything he was saying, I don't think.

That section is ridiculously small. Georgie does that "I told you so, but you never listen" look.

Let's move - we will follow you anywhere Elvis....
