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.

Looks like Butcher is going to ask The Elf out. They are about the same height, so well matched. Bless him, he's quite sweet.

Is that their normal accommodation or just where they are working on the fire engines?

The cafe does look lovely. I wonder why they aren't making any money?

I would suspect his drinking is something to do with his PTSD from the tour of Bosnia.

Chris has to confess to Angela that he has lent the gas money to Ewan and that it's been going on for quite a while.

I presumed they were bunking up somewhere different whilst on Fireman Sam duties.

More global warming going on in that tent with all those candles.

Well, for a first date, it's something a bit different!

Joe as the Indian waiter! I absolutely love it.

Love the comment about the vindaloo.

Oh dear, I think we can safely say what Andy has on his mind for "afters"!!

The menu choices reminds me of Gavin and Stacey and the Chinese takeaway.

Whoops, Butcher dropped a condom on the table by accident - bit previous there. How utterly mortifying!

Methinks Andy hasn't had any girlfriends before The Elf - he's embarrassed she has asked.

Andy is maybe a little slow on the uptake after all.

What's for Pudding???? Yes ilove she has decided he should get his just desserts!

If this is a wind-up, someone’s going to die.

FIRE!!!!

Ooops, I think those candles have set the place on fire!

Talk about the flames of passion!!

Nothing like pouring cold water on Andy's desires

So Mrs Max is trying to find out what is wrong.

Love the glacier line, too.

Poor Andy will pay a high price for love.

She is definitely the naughty elf! Poor Andy is going to take the rap for it all.

Hobbs is in a lot of trouble now the truth has come out about baby Anna. Someone told the C.O.

The Elf is horrified about poor Andy's treatment. Everyone is cross this episode about everything.

Ewan is trying to sell stakes in his wife's business. At least Chris is turning him down. That is a low blow to keep going on about saving his life.

That’s really quite funny - except finding out who’s responsible.

The Colonel and Mrs Eastwood have a conversation about the Hobbs couple. He is not a sympathetic sort of man. Army would always come first with him. I think most of the Colonels we've seen over the series have been the same and have had long suffering wives.
