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.

Evening - I am ready in position

Pressing play now.

Doing the recap

Stay focussed, ladies ...

Tara/Thara/Farah is still trying to get to the UK

CJ is suffering from panic and inaction. He is NOT himself.

Elvis is in control and Maisie has delusions of joining the SAS.

I love this alligator bit.

Gosh that looks like hard work - but they are also making a lot of noise.

I love this scene - great banter between the SF guys and Maisie. I wouldn't mind checking out Elvis's rear end, that's for sure.

Charm offensive needed - love Maisie's "Morning!"

Elvis uses that well-worn technique - speak loudly in pidgin English!

I wonder how many foreign languages SF pick up along the way?

"Duty of Care" rears it's ugly head again! Gosh he must love a bossy woman.

Like the courageous restraint comment.
According to Frederick Forsyth, they have to have languages - or the capacity to learn - for selection ...

CJ sounds a bit more in control of himself.

Poor Rab, he's so excited to have been shot! If he had his phone back from the annoying Thara, he could have posted it on Facebook.

Poor Cpt Azizi - they argue over his body. So little dignity. Poor CJ.

That would make sense eejit.

Never did work out the geography of the truck. Where are the body bags?

Georgie isn't very patient. It's not easy to drive a knackered old vehicle in second gear all the way to Kabul.

Tense stuff!

Dickers - passing on the intel.

Very tense music.

The truck is being followed.

Two young Afghan kids are the advance warning party.

They phone ahead and a booby trap is set for the truck.

Oh no, not the goat truck!

Oops. Is that what you call friendly fire?
