Our Girl Thread 58 "Our Girl and Soldier Soldier 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.

It even looks a bit like the old nursery that exploded.

Rhu, 😂

The Colonel's wife is in charge of doing up and old building for use as a coffee shop in aid of families whose parents were fighting out in the Gulf War.

OMG, look at that old brick of a mobile phone. Must have been one of the very early ones.

Goodness, that is the biggest bump I've ever seen - apart from my own with twins

Old building and a pregnant woman. There's going to be trouble!

This series is from 1996. I had a phone like that then

Well that’s Debs tellt! Zilch out of ten for sensitivity.

Good plan - send the pregnant woman down first.....

Something bad is going to happen to Kate, isn’t it.

I got my first one around that time too Rhu. I remember being in a role where I was out and about quite a lot and thought a mobile would be a good idea. It was heavy and I had to carry a spare battery around with me too.

I knew it!

Well, that is very Georgie like - almost like going into a building in an earthquake zone.

Can't believe Kate has gone into labour immediately.

Whoops - a bomb!!

Oh, joy! Ancient bombs too. They are throwing everything at this episode.

Meanwhile back in the woods, those pesky druids are planning to storm Nero's Hill.

Debs is off again.

An unexploded bomb and Kate is trapped. A recipe for disaster. At least Debs won't leave her.

..... and Kate's waters have broken.

It's not due???? are you joking??

After last week's episode, at least this has more potential.

Bomb disposal AND baby delivery.

Yes, good idea - lets take an old civilian to defuse the bomb. Those young whipper snappers in bomb disposal wouldn't know anything out WW2 bombs would they?

I feel like I'm watching Foyles War now.

Who mentioned the nursery that exploded?

Do either of you remember "Danger UXB" all those years ago with Anthony Andrews? He was quite the heart throb at the time.

Yeah, I know bomb disposal guys are brave ...

That was a very quick examination. Pethidine - she'll be singing like a drunk canary soon and putting Debs to shame.

Actually, ilove I've got a newly delivered DVD box set of Danger UXB and I'm planning to binge watch it soon. It was very good back in its day. Anthony Andrews was quite the hearthrob.
