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.

Ready of a bit of CJ Dad dancing right now??

Re the police inspector - he was in Capital City on ITV which was probably a similar era to Soldier Soldier. He's called William Armstrong. That's the only thing I've remembered him in.

for!

Yes, I remember him in Capital City. I think he pretended to be an American in that.

By pretend, I think I mean he was acting

I don't think Sgt Macleod is all that good a soldier. It didn't take them long to overpower him and he was also a bit wimpy about that wound. Elvis wouldn't have given up so easy or whimpered about needing a drink.

Who’s wearing the pelmet? I can’t see but I’m following the posts.

According to IMDB, he's actually Canadian. I used to love Capital City. In a company I worked for, we had dealings with stockbrokers a fair bit and I had personal tours of the Stock Exchange twice I think. Fascinating.

Love the way they are allowed to sit around a Police incident room and just have a brew.

Yes, Debs is definitely a bit of a Donna in the making - Donna of the early days.

Briggsy's wife to be is a real tearaway. I think she might have been in love with the idea of an exciting life abroad as the wife of a soldier. Maybe the reality will not be quite the same - is she this series answer to Donna Tucker?

Police got good jobs in those days, dancing in clubs, snogging and arresting slappers!

We're on the same wavelength again Rhu!

Rhu, how pre-COVID!

There we go again, Ilove!

I was commenting on sitting around and having a brew.

Ah, this is making me laugh. I don't really care about the lost weapons, enjoying the WAGs in the club much more.

It's usually men that get arrested the night before their wedding on a stag do.

That nightdress, is really awful.

I remember now that his name is Sgt MacLeod but he's not Scottish, but his wife, presumably a MacLeod by marriage, is!

She's also very anxious. Lots of drama. He's very emotional.

Sgt McCleod does not look in good shape. Oh no, the DVD has stopped! Eeek.

It seems he knows the man with the gun who was also a soldier in REME.

eejit I reckon the nightclub scenario was also very pre-Covid.

Oh, looks like a shed blew up - not sure why, wasn't paying attention.

I have two friends like that Rhu. He has a Scottish surname but it is his wife who is Scottish.

Explosion!
