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.

Andy isn't dealing with this very well.

SIB are on the case. Stacey isn't responding very well with the questioning. She looks like a rabbit caught in headlights.

He really is most unpleasant - and another ad for bingo. Are slltv ads about gambling.

Rhubarb01 · 05/01/2021 21:41

This SIB officer is very severe and isn't very sympathetic. Thank goodness times have changed. She might believe her, but she doesn't sound like it.

Rhubarb01 · 05/01/2021 21:41

Blimey, we really could do with Nancy on this case.

Bob is making out Stacey came on to him, not the other way around. A complete pack of lies and he's made out she threw herself at him in order to get a place on the triathlon team.

I don't think she likes Bob much. She's provoking him to show his true colours.

Poor Andy is not the most articulate

Well done Andy...

Haha, Andy has gone for Bob and there's a fight in the swimming pool. Not the best course of action but you can understand his frustration.

Really hard episode to watch this. Obnoxious creature.

Rhubarb01 · 05/01/2021 21:45

I think Chris knows that Bob is guilty, so he's letting Andy get away with it.

Rhubarb01 · 05/01/2021 21:46

So, Bob's wife ran off with someone else - thank goodness, poor woman.

Very pleased to see that Chris has not been taken it by Bob's lies. Bob hurls insults, questioning if Angela is the boss in their house. He really hates women. I'm sure his wife is better off wherever she went with his best friend.

Magi, glad you're with us.

It's a very difficult episode. I feel very uncomfortable, truth be told.

Bob gets to save face by requesting a transfer. I'm sure the colonel will be glad to get rid of him.

Glad that Bob is leaving, for Stacey's sake at least, but hope he learns from this and doesn't do it again. Poor Stacey, difficult decision, but she did the right thing to report.

Rhubarb01 · 05/01/2021 21:53

Happy New Year magi. Hope you are keeping well.

Difficult for Stacey to have made the right decision but to have been put through all the questioning and made to feel it was her egging him on. I sincerely hope the army has a different approach to sexual harrassment these days.

Yes thanks Rhu all well so far. Had my vaccine so that's progress I guess.

As for this episode I find I'm liking little Andy in this one. Up till now I've found him a bit hopeless but he has stepped up in this one.

eejittwo · 05/01/2021 21:56

I think Stacey is making a man of Andy

eejittwo · 05/01/2021 21:57

At last in this series a happyish ending

Gosh, I've just remembered when I said "Stubbsy" meaning "Briggsy", that it was Marsha and Michael Stubbs. I don't think I'm on the ball tonight. Lockdown fever!

Yes eejit in that respect it is a bit of a change. By the way did you notice the Drama channel are showing Soldier Soldier every day. Started on Monday but it will be a long time till they catch up on us. Trendsetters or what eh.
