Our Girl Thread 57 "Our Girl Revisited"

[Ilovelblue]

We have been following Our Girl since 2014 and although there are to be no further series, we revisit time and time again to discuss. As an alternative, we are also watching the 1990s series of Soldier Soldier.

Getting the kids back to school - where have we heard that before?

I think they're going to be disappointed when Prince Harry doesn't turn up!

We learn a little bit more about Qaseem.

He has suffered a sad and tragic loss. I always like these chats. We learn about the problems in the country.

Molly and Qaseem have a private chat when they're setting up the medical centre. Molly finds out that the Taliban murdered his wife and children.

Bashira arrives at the medical post. CJ is reluctant to let her through the gates. CJ tries to stick to his guns, but Molly uses the "duty of care" rubbish and plays on his sense of guilt.

YES YOU ARE ENDEARING YOURSELF TO HIM,!

He "Might Gonna" fall in love with you, Molly.

Soft fools getting personally involved - prophetic words!

Bashira's father has hit her and the mother has brought her to be cleaned up. CJ wants them to go to the nearest hospital, which is apparently four hours away. Molly convinces him that there's a duty of care. How many times have we heard that phrase in all the series?

Molly cleans up Bashira's face and the little girl lets her know there is going to be an attack in the mountains.

Bashira lets slip some intel - "Don't go to the mountains tomorrow."

Sohail strides in and removes her before she can say more.

Molly and Smurf have a chat. Molly is bothered by what Bashira told her. Smurf says they must report it to CJ.

Whoop, whoop - Paddling Pool claxon.....

Here are the guests. prepare to be amazed and delighted....

CJ likes to be on stage. The lads have an impromptu concert.

Back in the med tent, Molly is brooding over what Bashira has let slip. She confides in Smurf who tells her they have to report it to CJ.

What a time to go and find CJ when he is relaxing in his paddling pool! The rest of the lads jump in and at the same time, the helicopter lands. Oh, no sign of Prince Harry, what a shame. The corps of army music are very much second best methinks.

Whenever I hear this Amy Winehouse song, I think of OG!

Molly interrupts CJ's enjoyment of the music. He whisks them off to discuss with Major Beck.

In the Ops tent they debate whether to act on the intel.

Smurf tries to hold Molly's hand...er, awkward.

Stay focused, stay alert, stay alive.

Stay focused, stay alert, stay alive! This is Boris's mantra that he changed a bit in case he was accused of plagiarism!

Rolex Boy, poor kid looks about 15, not 18.

Molly heads off for a chinwag with CJ.

My daughter just called for a chat...put her off for 30 mins.

Luck, fluke, chance etc Fate is prevalent in this series.

"Queen of a lost cause" is how CJ describes Molly.

Afghan is "proper nice" Molly thinks. If it wasn't for the war, she wouldn't mind living here - with wifi, Top Shop and Starbucks!

A friend of mine rang at 8.59 pm and I've put her off for an hour. I don't think she was best pleased. She has no idea about our love affair with OG!

Fire fight ensues - then air support arrives.

Oh, my daughter knew exactly why I couldn't speak to her
