Our Girl Thread 62 "Our Girl, Soldier Soldier and The Musketeers Revisited"

[Ilovelblue]

We started to follow "Our Girl" back in 2014 and although there will be no further series, we do revisit from time to time. We have watched all seven series of "Soldier Soldier" to keep up our military terminology and are now on the final series of "The Musketeers". Of course, there is a definite connection between "Our Girl" and "The Musketeers" in the delightful form of Luke Pasqualino. In the New Year, we plan to go back and watch series 2 of Our Girl.

That bloke on the horse had a very caddish sneer there

[eejittwo]

That bit in the titles where D’Art fires guns to right and to left … does something to me …

[Rhubarb01]

Gosh, nothing worse than Aramis with rusty sword skills!!

[Ilovelblue]

I can see this is going to be a violent episode!

[Rhubarb01]

So, this is some kind of shanty town of refugees and the locals are scapegoating them and blaming them for the food shortages?

[Rhubarb01]

Rupert Everett does a good job of looking like a creepy old geezer - it's a really unflattering look.

[Rhubarb01]

oooh nice library!

[eejittwo]

I think he’s brilliant in this. There’s only one thing seriously wrong with this series and it’s a bug one, but the rest is good.

[Ilovelblue]

I do like Treville's outfits. I think the costume designers have gone all out for him but downgraded Constance.

[eejittwo]

After all he has suffered, Treville deserves a nice suit.

[Rhubarb01]

Cough it up, love!!

[Rhubarb01]

So, there's an infiltrator amongst the rebels.

I love the idea that D'Art things they would send that poorly bloke a doctor!!

[eejittwo]

Why does Sylvia always strike me as smug?

[eejittwo]

Aramis enjoying not being a monk.

[Ilovelblue]

The young cadet is a Yorkshireman but the old guy half the size of Porthos is a Cockney! Some great accents.

[Rhubarb01]

Now that's what I call a pair of baggy trousers!

[Rhubarb01]

Pantaloons even!

[Rhubarb01]

Well, sad though it is, that's a better way to go than hanging.

[Rhubarb01]

Ah, so double-agent plants the false evidence.

[Ilovelblue]

This lot don't mess about when they do away with somebody, do they?

What is Feron addicted to? That's odd medication.

[eejittwo]

Great line from Grimaldi - I’ve been sneered at by better men. They’re dead now.

[eejittwo]

Grimaud- sodding auto-correct.

[Rhubarb01]

I was wondering about the preparation as well ilove. Looks like a bit of bark or something. Must be some kind of narcotic plant perparation and highly addictive.

[Rhubarb01]

Constance looks awfully matronly in that garb.

[Rhubarb01]

I like Constance's hair - that at least is an improvement.
