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.

That poor dog hope it is not in that cupboard most of the time

Crikey those married quarters are a bit luxurious - it looks more like officer's quarters.

Oh dear, Andy's Mum has left his Dad. So, that wonderful example of married bliss was not the truth.

I don't think Stacey likes having her mother in law interfering in the house.

It turns out she has had a falling out with her husband - in fact she's left him.

Mark is seeing the army psychiatrist.

Think they're throwing everything into this episode. We seem to be jumping from one thing to another very rapidly.

They are throwing everything at this episode.

This session with the psychiatrist won't help Mark's career. I don't think the army had quite got to the same level of understanding at this point in the 90's. Andy's Dad is a gambler.

Andy's Dad is a gambler.

magi and eejit you are having a Rhu and ilove moment

Magi - we’re thinking the same!

This episode is a bit overloaded- I do agree with you ladies.

Agree there are too many sub-plots going on here. They'd have been better concentrating on the PTSD and maybe the fundraising. Andy's parents' difficulties aren't really of much interest.

The lad in the Recruitment Office has been rejected and he sees Angie as the cause of it.

Word for word "eejit*

I just know that he’s going to do something to Angie.

Jessica looks like she has a permanent smirk on her face. The Colonel is very cross with her for interfering. She's not really suitable for the army, I think.

Jessica is getting a strip torn off her for not telling the Colonel about Mark's actions in the exercise. She's not followed army protocol. At least she's happy to stand up for herself.

Well, you may call them the Three Musketeers but I think 'Dumb, Dumber and Dumbest' is probably more like it.

Karen is really up herself. I wonder who the mystery auctioneer is? Some celebrity maybe?

This is really the most unpleasant colonel.

SM gets his revenge - the lads have to polish the floor in their best bib and tucker. Oh dear!

We could abbreviate it to DD&D?

Rhu, she won’t be calling them the Three Musketeers once she sees the REAL ones.

Karen's mystery auctioneer is the local MP and he's not coming after all. Julie and the Elf take charge.

Julie takes charge of the situation, proving she was right for the job.

Oh yes eejit - have we decided The Musketeers will be our next watchalong?
