Our Girl Thread 59 "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. We are now on series 7.

"She's one of the lads...she's one of the lads!"

He ought to feel responsible for something.

The Colonel disagrees with Jeremy and Jessica's assessment. He is going against them, because he doesn't like listening to other advice. He is really getting out of control. Stupid man!

Col Drysdale throws a hissy fit as he thinks his orders are being ignored.

Jessica questions Drysdale's instructions again. He is a vile character and has a complete downer on women in the army.

Why does he keep having a go at her for doing what is her job. So all the main suspects are going to join the the dicey mission. Part Two bongs almost like Eastenders there.

Elf in the Intelligence Corps - good grief!

Colonel is a pain.

So, off they go to escort the rebel leader. Somehow, I think this might turn into a two-parter.

Andy's reaction to Stacey's intention to try out for the Intelligence Corps is similar to others we've seen in Soldier Soldier about women wanting to further themselves. Even Chris McLeod had a real sulk when Angie said she had applied for Sandhurst.

Oh this blooming Colonel is just the worst ever. He's a danger to men. So domineering.

Is the Elf doing a Donna in Andy?

Another possible ambush? It looks like a mother and child crying but I bet it's not.

Jeremy and Lillian try to revive the poor little boy.

Hi Magi!

Yep, everyone has been taken hostage. Not a good outcome. Now the Colonel knows everyone is in trouble.

Looks as if a plane has dropped some propaganda?

I missed the moment when they saw Hobbs again.

They've been captured and have realised that Mark Hobbs is part of the enemy group.

He and Jessica eyeballed each other Rhu.

I don't like the look of this. I might have to shut my eyes.

Mark has definitely bitten off more than he can chew. Looks like the chap in charge, is taking the law into his own hands.

Hi all. This episode is ripping along I must say. Obviously going to be convenient for some reason that Mark who has only been a mercenary for five minutes turns up where his old regiment is deployed.

What is that bloke proposing? Oh blimey, this is a bit grim.

Back at the camp, Jacko is now turning his hand as a waiter handing round food.
