The Our Girl Addicts Thread 64 Stay focused, Stay alert, Stay alive and carry on....spying

[Ilovelblue]

We started to follow Our Girl back in 2014 and although there will be no further sries, we do revisit from time to time. We have watched all seven series of Soldier Soldier to keep up our military terminology and have galloped through all three series of The Musketeers. There was a definite connection between Our Girl and The Musketeers in the delightful form of Luke Pasqualino. We are revisiting series 2 of Our Girl currently but when this has come to an end, we have agreed to start watching the old BBC series of Spooks. Please join in if this grabs your attention.

Apologies Magi that I didn't see your two posts. This new version of MN means I can't refresh it as easily as in the previous version (any ideas how you do it?)

Hope you got your technical issues sorted!

Should be OK for next week. Not really a problem with iPlayer mainly a question of too many devices all set up differently!! The powers that be (also known as my son) had changed some settings and forgot to link to my iPad so I couldn't get iPlayer on the tv which I needed to do so that I could use iPad for chatting on Mumsnet. Glad it seemed that it is going to be a good choice for us.

I can see why you are reverting to DVD ilove as the rolling easily on with iPlayer does hook you as proved by you already being at the end of series 3.

Oh forgot to say I have no idea about this Refresh button but I see from some other threads that lots of people are complaining. I must admit I never did know there was a Refresh button and I always have to flip and come back to keep up with posts. So if there is a smarter way of doing it I'll look forward to finding out what it is.

I had quite a surprise as in ep 9 the female Iraqi terrorist was played by the actor who also played Dr Bahil in OG4. I recognised her voice immediately. Not sure I've ever seen her in anything else.

That was good that you did realise where you had seen her ilove as it happens to me often that I see an actor and then spend a lot of time trying to work out where I have seen them before and probably missing a bit of what I am supposed to be watching!

Google is often my friend Magi!

Aw, shucks. BBC is now showing the trailer for the new drama about the original Spanner and Blue, SAS Rogue Heroes. Suppose we’ll have to save it till after Spooks

Yes, I've seen those trailers too eejit. It sounds my sort of thing. Perhaps we should go off on a little tangent when it airs?

For refreshing the screen you can either click on the circular symbol with an arrow top left of the screen on the status bar (if you are using a laptop it should be there?) or you can press Ctrl R which does the same function. Don't know if that's any help?

Going off on a tangent sounds a plan Rhu so I would be happy to do that. Think we had a situation like that when we were on Soldier Soldier.

Thanks for the clues about refreshing but I am on iPad using the Mumsnet App and haven't got any little symbol on the top left or of course a Control key so will have to stick with flipping I guess.

Apparently the refresh button is coming back. I searched and there was an article from Mumsnet about the changes and they say it's coming back. I've always used browser refresh and not the app, so not much use on any other shortcuts. Sorry 😕

Will someone give me advance warning to look away at the gruesome bit please?

I think it's near the end. I've never rematch the episode but I recall the scene, so will sound the alarm when it looks familiar.

Rewatched...doh!

So, all ready for Episode 2 of series 1.

Ready and waiting.

Yes Rhu, it is near the end. Horrible.

I can't do next week ladies, sorry. Away all week.

I am here waiting too

Pressing play....now!

Pressed play

Yes pressed play

This looks like a job for Elvis...

The guy they're keeping an eye on has state of the art technology by the looks of it.

Looks like they are bugging a house again. Wonder who and why?

Something left behind....

Oops - dropped a fuse
