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.

Nice hair Elvis!

And the lovely Spanner

Elvis is watching her

Don't tangle with the lean, mean, fighting machine - he eats her boyfriends for breakfast in Polish Cafes.

I do like Elvis' quip about the early worm not being so lucky!

Georgie, you do not do what you are told and you know it!

Thara has done a bunk and Georgie spots she's not with the other children.

Georgie, you have to go with the guys in the truck. Forget about the pesky little girl and concentrate on Elvis!

That kid has gone again - oh why does nothing ever go smooth with Georgie.

Elvis will definitely see you whether you like it or not, Georgie. But we like it a lot!

Oh Rhu, I literally laughed out loud at that comment about the Polish cafe!

Now what is she thinking! Are we really meant to believe she’s thinking a bout Thara with Elvis looking gorgeous??

Same time, same place next week ladies?

BYW, the next episode is the best of the series, I think.

I think he would practically obliterate everything else from my mind eejit, just his sheer gorgeousness (if there is such a word).

Glad to oblige ilove

Yes, will be back for Episode 3 next week. Definitely the best of this series.

Morning all. Well that episode left me stewing! Now I remember why I never felt the need to rewatch this series like I did the first two. eejit. used the word patronising to describe how the production team treated their audience and I now feel the word insulting is more appropriate.

They obviously didn't credit viewers with having enough nous to notice the almost amateurish way they created scenes to suit their purpose. Georgie in bed with Milan would never have been visible to Maisie even if it was Face Time as Ilove suggested. Georgie being the savvy soldier she is would not have answered from that position. Also her normal clothes appearing from know here! Honestly. 🙄

No wonder we lost lots of people from this thread. Sorry rant over.

I did mean nowhere! Wish this autocorrect would leave things alone. I am quite capable of making my own mistakes don't need their help!

Magi - hope you enjoy next week’s episode all the same.

Thanks eejit I'll try. It is the best of a bad lot after all.😅

Just to remind us how gorgeous he is!

Not sure why the text came like that!

Are we ready for the next episode?

Can’t wait - the FOB ...

Pressing play now for the recap.

You with us Rhu?

Here we are on what is probably a disused airfield somewhere in England but pretending to be in Afghanistan.

And Maisie puts her feet in it

Captain Azizi is there to greet them. Poor Rab is so excited to see some action. Looks as if Maisie is after some action of a different sort.

Poor Georgie must cringe when she hears how Maisie describes Elvis! At least Brains has the good judgement to shut her up.
