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.

Georgie clearing Fingers' things = Molly packing up CJ's things when he's flown back to Birmingham.

Poor Lt Hurst - needs to talk to Daddy and he's too busy. Looks like he's got a bit of a rotten unsupportive father.

We're as one again Rhu.

Georgie isn't actually carrying that coffin - it's not on her shoulder!

I suppose Lt Hurst's trumpet playing does have its part here.

Ok, Lt Hurst isn't playing that trumpet either - he would need to use the valves. You can only blow a bugle without both hands.

I thought the pall bearers were supposed to be the same height roughly and Georgie is definitely smaller than the rest of them.

One Remembrance Day, I heard an army chaplain talk about the vigil the night before a body was repatriated from Bastion. It had me in tears.

Yes, Georgie's pall bearing was symbolic only.

Georgie turns to Prof for advice.

It annoys me a bit that they hold significant events like a funeral and imagine we won't find it strange that half the close family aren't there - no dad, no granny etc.

We hear Finger's final words....

Yes Prof is certainly makes his presence known and hovers round her most of the time

Fluke is mentioned - fate, luck, chance etc - we come full circle from series 1.

No Lulu either Rhu

On the day of the funeral, Marie asks to hear the message from Fingers one more time. She must be beside herself. She asks Georgie for all the details. Georgie very wisely keeps the worst of the details to herself.

Meanwhile, back at Bastion the guys are supervising target practise.

Yes Magi - Dr Dishy certainly catches the eye but Prof is that steady, reliable one in the background.

Magi!!! Hello!

Lulu wasn’t even at the wedding. She had that fab line inSeries 2

This is doubly painful for Georgie. That passage from "The Fault in our Stars" must feel like her own story with Elvis.

Helloilove I'm managing the odd comment although a bit slow about it

Although Marie is the grieving widow, he’s a much bigger part of Georgie’s life.

Kingy setting things up for the chat with the psych?

Fingers' death has given Monk food for thought with his own little boy.

Prof has a go at Mimi for her lies. They're acting as bodyguards for two Americans and overhear their conversation about Omar.

Sorry, just missed the last ten minutes - enormous spider came in out of the rain and I had to carry out a search and extraction exercise - Elvis would have been proud of me.

The arrival of Cheese

Dr Dish is there for Georgie and she cops a good old hug - well who wouldn't. Bet Dr Dish enjoys feeling needed.
